‘One day when I was twenty-three or twenty-four this sentence seemed to form in my head, without my willing it, much as sentences form when we are half-asleep, ‘Hammer your thoughts into unity’. For days I could think of nothing else and for years I tested all I did by that sentence [...]” William Butler Yeats (cited in Frank Tuohy, Yeats, 1976, p.51 )

E379S Portfolios

 

Writing Due: PORTFOLIO DUE TO BE DELIVERED  TO PAR 132 NO LATER THAN DEC. 9 (BETWEEN 2 AND 3:30 ON THAT DAY IF YOU WAIT ‘TIL THEN)

If you want to turn it in earlier and the mail slot is full go to Par 108 and ask that folders be put on desk. They may or may not do it: they do not have to, especially if they are busy with other matters.

Grades: To get a 80 on the portfolio you need to meet all the basic requirements almost perfectly, including table of contents and page numbering.
Grades: to get 100 on the paper portfolio you need to go beyond that to an achievement in visual rhetoric. Think of this as a portfolio you will be taking to a nature-writing or architectural magazine, seeking employment in competition with many others. You would be well advised to have it all typed in one way or another, perfectly proofread, illustrated, etc. and very professional in appearance. Pay special attention to unity and the pages Effective Visual Design in our anthology

To get an A  on a web portfolio the requirements are much the same, translated into web terminology. For a good example of how to include all your journal entries in a web portfolio see Franzi’s E603 and previous websites. Your web portfolio must be transferred to my website and must run on that Mac server .  YOU NEED TO GET THE CD OR DISKETTE WITH THE WEBSITE WITH THESE AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED CHANGES TO ME  TWO DAYS BEFORE IT IS DUE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS PROPERLY.
