A mark on a test tells you where you stood on one morning. A portfolio shows what changed over five months — and only you can build that.
What goes in
- Work you are proud of, and why
- Work that went badly, and what you did next
- Questions you still have
- Connections you noticed between units
What does not
- Everything. A portfolio is chosen, not accumulated.
- Marks. This is about the work, not the grade on it.
Write entries when the work is fresh
The details you will want at the end of the course — what confused you, what you tried first — are gone by next week. Ten minutes on the day beats an hour later.
