Writing IIIc exams just around the corner

In a previous post (July 4, 2007), I outlined what to review during the three weeks prior to exams in Writing IIIc, namely the texts for this course:

1. the Writing Studio Blog (as a whole),
   
2. the Writing Studio Wiki (again, the whole thing), &
   
3. the messages in your Gmail queues.

While the clock hasn't stopped, I note that - to date (July 10) - there are no comments or questions about the material to review. I welcome your feedback in comments responding to the review post.

Nevertheless, it is high time to move beyond the review and begin the collection, representation, selection and self-evaluation of blog work that you have done this semester, as well as to continue your reflection on the process of blog development. That is, it is time to build unified Writing IIIc portfolios from your proto-portfolios. Your online portfolios are due during scheduled exam periods:

• Sat., July 21, 2007 -
  
• for students headed overseas on KGU exchange programs this summer; or
• Wed., July 25, 2007 -
  
• for students not involved in KGU overseas exchange programs this summer.

(Writing III, Google Calendar)

To facilitate portfolio development, I have prepared a worksheet that I will distribute in class on July 11, and a portfolio template for you to copy, paste and build into a portfolio on your own blog. If you have questions about the worksheet, please ask in class on the 11th. If you have questions about your own online portfolio development afterwards, please ask in comments on the portfolio template post at least 72 hours before your portfolios are due.
