Portfolios will be evaluated using the following rubric. A committee of three professors will individually review each student's portfolio and assign a numerical score to each student's portfolio based on the following scale. Portfolios meriting a score of Superior will receive a 4.0, portfolios meriting a Good score will receive a 3.0, portfolios rating a Competent score will receive a 2.0, and Poor portfolios will receive a 1.0. The three scores assigned by the committee will then be averaged to arrive at the final score to be recorded for each student's portfolio.
