I haven’t really had much experience with portfolios except with english 111 and 112. I think the importancce of portfolios is to organize all of your work and to be able to look back at your past work and go back and make any corrections. I also think portfolios are also convenient when you want to show all of your work to someone, to show them what you can do. And you can show what you are capable of doing. I am sure there is more, but since i dont have alot of experience, i’m not sure.
