Portfolios
The experiences I have had with portfolios were in my ENG 111 and 112 classes. My 111 instructor was a grad student and didn’t know what in the world she was doing. No one passed a paper in either first turn in or rewrite until the the final turn in of the third paper. To me this was a little ridiculous because even after going to her office hours and fixing what she suggested she still failed us. My 112 experience was much better and went without any problems. I think this was in part because it was letter grade based and not pass/fail.
