Portfolio Assessment Uses, Cases, Scoring, and Impact

Despite the challenges that portfolios present, those who use them prefer them to other methods because they are so versatile and accommodate such rich information. Portfolios can be used by faculty to see first-hand not only what students are learning but how they are learning, by students to reflect on and derive meaning from their educational experiences, and by institutions to assess the effectiveness of courses and curricula, as well as overall effectiveness.Trudy W.
