Conference 2: Portfolio Preparation
What to Bring:
o This worksheet, completed (also upload it to Titanium)
o Any documents youre considering including in your portfolio.
Questions:
1. As you can see on our Portfolio Instruction Sheet (available on Titanium), each students
portfolio must include one fully revised, major assignment with citations (profile or
editorial). Review your work and my comments on these assignments. Which of these
documents are you most interested in revising, and why? Which of our student learning
outcomes (see page one of our syllabus) could you satisfy by revising this document
(and yes, it can satisfy more than one)? Where will you have to focus your revision
efforts to produce a document that will satisfy your standards?
A. The profile paper, because I believe it can satisfy most of the SLO requirements.
B. It would satisfy: collaborations, rhetorical, ethical citations, organization, and language
design.
C. The profile paper will require citations in areas that are not common knowledge.

2. Your portfolio team should meet to discuss which major assignment each of you intends
to revise. First, each student should pitch their assignment choice to their peers,
arguing for its ability to satisfy our SLOs and stating your purpose in revising this
document instead of one of the others. Below, summarize your peers comments and
suggestions about your choice. Do they agree or disagree with you, and why? How did
they advise you? Which SLOs do your peers think your chosen assignment will satisfy?
What kinds of revisions do they suggest?
A. My peer agreed that the profile would be best to satisfy most of the portfolio
requirements.
B. I was advised to check all areas of the paper for citation needs.
C. They felt that most of the SLOs are represented in the profile paper.
D. Suggested revisions were mainly covering the cited areas.
