Some do work with us continually throughout the semester. <BR/><BR/>-Phillip BodeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790062.post-6104391626963668682009-02-17T16:40:00.000-07:002009-02-17T16:40:00.000-07:00We see a lot of Comp 1 &amp; 2 students, but our campus does not require a portfolio. A few profs do, but their students make up a very small minority of our numbers. We see very specific spikes in use, though, when papers are due. We charted our use on a line graph, and year to year, the spikes line up perfectly. <BR/><BR/>We also see the same assignments from semester to semester, specifically the ones that students have a hard time getting (or are poorly explained/conceived). It&#39;s great to work through these kinds of problems with students, and see them finally understand what the prof is expecting. <BR/><BR/>But doing portfolio work sounds great. Do you get the opportunity to work with students throughout the whole process, or just sporadically?Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475394187736511449noreply@blogger.com
