"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 )

1-3 Portfolio instructions.

Role of Class Pictures in the Course
Class Pictures Required for Portfolio
Portfolio See the physical examples that are available in my office. Also check out electronic versions of portfolios below.
The portfolio encompasses basically everything you have done. It consists of Projects 1B (the revision with no highlighting) and 2B (the revision with no highlighting), all Discussion Board contributions, all in-class writing exercises, all pictures of your self at E603/pics06/; your comments on the projects of others; the road map of your journey; all your extra credit, etc.
______Visual impact of whole portfolio: 25 points. Includes presentation of all pictures available of your self in the course. In electronic portfolios the presentation consists of places and captions for pictures but the pictures themselves can be called up by hyperlinks to the course website (thus no need to included all those pictures on your CD). However, the pictures themselves must appear on their own, not as links which must then be selected by the reader (<img src= "hyperlink">). In physical portfolios you must include pictures of all photos on the course website which focus primarily on you and up to three others (this way you do not have to include all the class pictures). In both media, visual presentation grade will be low if you simply put all the photos in a gallery somewhere instead of organizing and presenting them where appropriate in the portfolio.
_______Complete and accurate table of contents tied to page numbers: every single item (other than pictures) specified in table of contents as in example below: 15 points. In electronic portfolios the requirement becomes "complete and accurate index: every individual item (other than pictures) with its own link on the primary index page."
_________Accurate page numbers: 5 points (In electronic portfolios this requirement becomes "every item in the portfolio has a working link to the initial index page.")
Please construct a table of contents or index page like this , or at least in this order, with this kind of detail:

_________Total number of points for portfolio (140 maximum)
_________ 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/indexing
and page numbering/linking.
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 an architectural or leadership 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 to Effective Visual Design (Faigley).
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 DB entries in a web portfolio see FranziÕs E603 and previous websites. Your web portfolio must be put on a CD so that it can be transferred to my website and must run on that Mac server. YOU NEED TO GET THE CDWITH THE WEBSITE WITH THESE AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED CHANGES TO ME TWO DAYS BEFORE IT IS DUE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS PROPERLY.
