Portfolio Chapter/Lesson Checklist:
- Chapter 9 (9-1,9-2,9-3,9-4,9-5,9-6,9-8)
- Chapter 10 (10-1,10-2,10-3,10-4,10-5,10-6)
- Chapter 11 (11-1,11-2)
- Minimum of 15 warm-ups from the semester
Below is the description of the Portfolio taken directly from my syllabus:
"All class notes, which are taken daily, are to be kept in a 3-ring binder. Notes are
to be organized by chapter (with labeled subject dividers), and in chronological
order. Portfolios will be submitted for a grade at the end of the semester. Points
will be deducted for missing sections of notes and/or sections that are out of
order. Papers not directly placed in the 3-rings of the binder (ie. the inside cover
pockets) will not be graded. Each sub-lesson will need a minimum of one (1) page
of content (ie. formulas, definitions, examples, homework problems, etc.) in order
to receive full credit. It is highly recommended that the student begins each
semester with all chapter tabs labeled and roughly 20 sheets of blank paper within
each of the tabs — this will allow students to simply add to the previous day’s
notes/work and ensure that a) papers are never lost, and b) papers stay in
chronological order. Some students attempt to “throw together” a Portfolio the
days before it is due — believe me when I tell you that it is always apparent and
almost certainly has a negative impact on the Portfolio’s grade! Effort and
neatness are key components of the Portfolio’s score."
