Rubric for Unit 1 Portfolios
Class,
As I promised a few of you last week, here is the rubric I will use to evaluate your unit 1 portfolios. Each of you will receive a sheet of paper evaluating your performance in each of these areas as well as your letter grade and any other pertinent comments. If you have any questions about these criteria please feel free to email me or visit me during office hours.
