"Only connect! . . .Live in fragments no longer.Ó E. M. Forster, Howards End (1910), ch. 22
ÔOne 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, ÔHammer your thoughts
into unityÕ. For days I could think of nothing else and for years I tested
all I did by that sentence [...]Ó William Butler Yeats (cited in Frank
Tuohy, Yeats, 1976, p.51 )

_________Total number of points for portfolio (out of 140)
_________ Total number of points in course
_________ Grade in course
Grades: To get a B on the portfolio you need to meet all the
basic requirements almost perfectly, including table of contents and
page numbering.
Grades: to get an A 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 FranziÕs 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.
