Requirements for Portfolio
and Self Evaluation
EDCI 4993-Sec. 603, Fall 2001

Evaluation and of Technology



Due Sunday December 9, 9:00 PM

The portfolio will be a two page maximum, multi-media electronic document, detailing your work for this class. This will be a hyper-text document that explains and links together the artifacts of your work. It will be an electronic portfolio. Done properly, it can be a great advertisement of your technology skills.

Your self evaluation (self assessment) will be a one page maximum assessment and evaluation of your own work.


Part 1. Portfolio

This is a self-graded exercise and is worth 15 points towards your final grade in this class. You should invest some time in composing this document.

This is a two page maximum document that explains to others the work you accomplished in this class. It will contain six (6) sections, one section for each exam and one section for each book review. You are to briefly relate the work you personally completed to satisfy each of these course requirements. It is suggested that you include web links to materials that are examples of your work, or to web sites that were helpful to you. You may include images or pictures -- multimedia. Your "multimedia document" will become part of the web site for our course -- a permanent record. You may turn-in a multi-media document that the instructor will convert to web pages, or you may turn-in web pages yourself, or you may turn-in both -- or you may create your own website. The turn-in for Part 1 is an eMail message to our list redCap that includes an attached document (or URL of your web site).

Example of a possible section for Part 1: Monique's 2nd book review.
For my second book review I read "Succeeding with Standards: Linking Curriculum, Assessment, and Action Planning." I enjoyed this book. It helped me to understand how standards and everyday classroom planning fit together to make me a more effective teacher. The book's topic was directly related to evaluation and assessment -- the broad topic of our study this semester. My review of this book can be found by following the link at http://webX.uno.edu:8081/WebX?14@251.9IPOfQVhGNo^0@.ee9d4e3/5. The book also helped me meet a personal goal for this class as explained in a WebX'ing message at http://webX.uno.edu:8081/WebX?14@251.MISBfQemG1i^0@.ee9d572/3.

Part 2. Self-evaluation

Here you will assign yourself a final grade in our class. You should already have grades for all the instructor-graded exams and book reviews. This final part provides you with an opportunity to evaluate your overall class performance. On one page, please give yourself a grade [using the point values] for each area of evaluation listed below (and as shown in the syllabus). Using the scale below assign yourself a final grade.

Provide a brief rationale to justify your final grade -- indicate how your grade reflects what you learned in class. The evaluation and grading scale are part of our syllabus.

Example

IG - indicates Instructor Graded.

My points earned in this class are as follows:
  • 9 of 10 points - Two Book Reviews -- everyone received eMail from George with a grade for each book review. IG
  • 10 of 10 points - Exam 1 -- everyone received full credit (10 points) IG
  • 10 of 10 points - Exam 2 IG
  • 10 of 10 points - Exam 3 IG
  • 22 of 25 points - Exam 4 IG
  • 8 of 10 points - Class Participation
  • 4 of 10 points - Timely completion of assignments. Assess -1 point each time you turned-in any class assignment after its due date.
  • 13 of 15 points - Portfolio and Self-evaluation
  • 2 absences, 1 excused.
  • ------------------
  • 86 -- my final grade is B ... using the grading scale in the syllabus. Note that your portfolio document (above) serves as your justification for your final grade in this class. Also, as explained at the beginning of classes, more than 2 unexcused absences automatically result in a grade of (D). Additional absences result in a grade of (F) unless an agreement is reached on how the work missed can be completed quickly.
  • The turn-in for Part 2 is an eMail message to George that includes the entire text as part of your eMail message.
