I believe that the portfolio matches the grade given for several reasons. First of all, he showed extensively the process of writing, in that he included several drafts of the same paper and the reader can follow the growth of his paper. Second of all, he did very well in his knowledge of conventions and all categories were met.
Both of his papers were well thought out and his oxycontin paper fit every requirement in the critical thinking category. I can see how he received an A minus though, because his autobiography was not as strong as it could have been due to his writing style in an "informal" paper where the terms "I, me and mine" were used.
I agree and think that all requirements were met and he demonstrated extensive knowledge of the writing process, concepts, and conventions. I thought that he was very good at putting his emotions into words and using his personal stories in his autobiography to connect to the reader.
He also outlined his work in English 101 very well, he talked about how he's improved (and it was easy to follow in the portfolio) and he talked about how what he has learned will help him in the future.
I can see how he could have improved even more by just working on the flow of some of his sentences. Some of his points were hard to follow, and of course, there is always room for improvement.
This paper received an A- because it followed most of the guidelines given. The author demonstrated his knowledge in the process of writing and conventions very well. He had several drafts of every paper so you could obviously see how his writing improved over the semester. He also had good rhetorical awareness and critical thinking. Throughout his papers he knew who is audience was and how to use what he had learned to connect to them. He was also able to formulate his ideas along with others in his research paper. He presented his position on the issues he addressed well. You knew what his argument was and he used appropriate means of letting the audience know this. He received only an A- though because his papers could’ve flowed better. Even in his final drafts he still had a few minor things he could’ve improved upon.
This paper was refreshing after reading the other portfolios.Instead of just stating the likes and dislikes, the writer goes into detail about who and what influenced and made an impact in his life.The writer also shows a humorous side in his writing, there was sarcasm and joking without going overboard. The research paper had a main focus that the writer supported with references and information throughout the paper. Also, the word choice was mature and fit in well with the topic.It is obvious why this portfolio received a high grade compared to the others.
I think that this portfolio of A- received the grade that it did because they had good organization and flow, there were few grammatical errors and the ones that were made were the ones that differed the papers between A and A-. I think that they received this grade because of the little errors and also minor flaws in the flow of some of the papers. They addressed the standards of the rubric with little error.
I believe this paper was worthy of an A-. although the author did a very good job writing his papers, at times he made small, minor mistakes that ultimately set him back. For one he often reverts to using informal speech, although it doesn't happen often and is obviously a mistake. Another issue is that there are some random sentences that don't really flow well within the rest of the paper, and should be either revised or deleted to make it sound better. It did follow most of the guidelines given, and the papers did have clear, concise meanings that were easy to understand and interpret. I enjoyed reading about influences that he experienced in his life.
I agree with what everyone said that this paper deserves an A-. He followed mostly all the guidelines in the rubric that quallifies an A- paper. The only thing that really held him from a higher grade is the grammatical errors but other then that it has very good flow and describes how his writing has changed over time and what he has learned.
I thought the writer did an outstanding job on this portfolio and deserved the grade he received.
First of all, the writer followed all of the guidelines that were given, with only a few minor errors. He showed an understanding of the writing process, which was displayed throughout each revised essay he did on his research paper alone.
The writer also displayed rhetorical awareness by focusing on the purpose of the paper and not getting off-topic, and also by using appropriate structure and formatting.
The writer identified the problem and proposed an argument for his research paper about OxyCotin, which showed an understanding of the critical thinking process as well.
Along with that, he also presented an ample amount of information and facts that were needed to give him credit in writing the paper by using quotations that he incorporated into this essay. It is evident that he did a sufficient amount of research in order to provide the information and facts. This illustrates the information literacy being utilized.
He had minor errors when I was analyzing the knowledge of conventions displayed in the essay, although he improved significantly in this area when looking over the rough drafts, peer-edits, etc.
I think this portfolio was very well done and deserved an A over an A-. The writer shows improvements between drafts and demonstrates that he is learning how to better his work between drafts. He follows the guidelines from the rubric very well, making minor errors but not enough to bring his grade down significantly. I think it is very cliche that there is no A portfolio because yes, there is always room for improvement, but if the writer shows progress and an understanding of the learning objective I believe they should be credited accordingly.
In my opinion this paper deserves the grade that it received in that every single one of the categories is met. They also showed that they have a profound knowledge of the subject that they are writing on.
Another thing was the writing style in which this paper was written. From the conventions to the vocabulary that was used everything was mature and made sense.
This portfolio demonstrated not only improvement of his writing but showed that they realized the need for multiple drafts. You could tell as you read the drafts and final drafts there was a significant improvement to them. The person also reflected on own writing demonstrating that he/she understands the process of it. They had very good structure, syntax, grammar etc. There was also sufficient info used properly to support thesis statements and also was cited correctly throughout the essays. Although the works cited was not noticeable so you could not tell if the writer had one or not in the research paper. Overall the writer demonstrated his/her understanding for the process of writing.
After reading the A- portfolio I agreed with the grade given. Both the autobiography and the research paper were well written and showed few errors. The author did, however, have a few awkward sounding sentences. Everything on the rubric was matched and the drafts that were present showed us the steps the author got to to reach the final product. There seemed to be sufficient sources and they were cited well throughout the paper. I think the author had a good grasp of the concept and was very knowledgeable about the topic of OxyContin.
I agree that this paper should of received an A- because all the requirements are met and the paper shows dramatic improvment from previous drafts, he demonstrates early in his paper that he knows what he is talking about and uses his words well to show it. He does make a few errors in the wording by using words like I, Me but for the most part the paper does a great job of staying on the topic it is supposed to be on and uses good examples to dignify all of the points further while showing the writers knowledge and credibility
This paper was well deserving of the grade of A-. It was well structured, well researched, and well argued. The citation lined up with the information/research. Also, the language was formal and very informative. The writer held true to their topic and didn't sway in any way. The only thing that kept this paper from a solid A was probably little grammatical errors. Besides those, the paper had a really good flow and was a good addition to the "scholarly conversation".
I agree that this paper deserved a grade of A-. The author had obviously done a large amount of research on the topic and expressed it in an organized way throughout the paper.

As others have said, this is a very solid paper that displays all the qualities one would look for in showing a writer's capability. The information he provided was very interesting and the sources of said information were sound. In the introductory paper he goes over his struggles with conventions and how they were finally overcome. This struggle can be seen in his earlier work and his increased proficiency as he wrote new drafts is clear. Overall, the paper is easily deserving of an A- and it is almost questionable why he did not receive an A.

The portfolio was done nicely, extensive in being 48 pages. maybe a little much. all in all he used pathos to connect with the audience, it flowed with ease and it was pretty easy to follow. in reading this and other high graded papers i can learn how to develop my own portfolio for the end of the year.
he had some grammar and punctuation errors throughout the paper but no one is perfect and it happens, spell check does not catch all the errors. he had good organization and focus to his paper leading to his overall A- grade. done well.
The writer does well in expressing his thoughts in the writing process. the rubric provided showed his ability to follow directions and correct errors to increase his overall quality.His connection with the audience was good and it is understood that he can draw a response based of of pathos.

This final writing portfolio was written very well and deserved the A-. The research paper written about oxycontin followed the guidelines presented in the rubric. The thesis of this essay presented an issue of the drugs use both medically and recreationally. The essay continues to expand on the idea presented in the thesis. The essay fit well with the critical thinking of the rubric. The stongest part of the portfolio however was the process of writing. There were numerous corrections on the rough drafts of the essays and on the final draft almost all of the problems were fixed along with more improvements. This portfolio deserved the A- because it followed the portfolio rubric so well
I believe that this paper deserves an A. A standard person would not be able to write that long of a paper about the importance of their English class to their portfolio process. This shows critical thinking. Their paper was focused and seemed to stay on one topic. There was not a lot of analysis in the paper, but that may not have been the assignment.
I think that this paper recieved the grade that it did (A-) because how the content was organized, and how he followed a thesis, and never strayed from his topic. The content was organized in a easy to follow format consisting of a Intro/Thesis, followed by supporting body paragraphs in which he explains how Engl 101 assisted him in becoming a much better writer in many aspects, and wrapped up with a solid, nitty-griddy, conclusion in which he ties all his points together in a peaceful summary. In addition the topic of his paper was broad enough to where he could talk enough about what he learned, but it wasnt so broad the he just rambled on about nothing to fill space in his paper.
This paper was deserving of the A- that it received. It flowed very well and the content was well organized. The thesis was obvious and easy to spot, and it was obvious that plenty of research had been done, the body paragraphs were full of information. I didn't spot many conventions or grammatical errors. All in all it was a solid paper, worthy of an A- grade.
The paper stayed with its thesis in each of its body paragraphs. There were not many sentences that were long and wordy; most sentences were straight forward and easy to understand. The citation was clear and the reader could easily figure out that the writer did enough research to write the paper. There were some grammar and punctuation errors but not too much that would interrupt the main idea. The paper deserved A-.
I thought that it A- was a fair grade for the paper. The writer wrote good strong sentences, and was also able to vary lengths. He is a very focused writer as well as it was clear to see what he was trying to get across. I thought the organization of the two papers was good as he set them both up very well. I also noticed that the writer did seem to know what he was talking about in regards to his research paper which shows he did the research thoroughly
I agree that this writer desereved an A- because they had an overall good understanding of what was asked of for the english portfolio. The persons research paper was very well written and well thought out. It demonstrated the ability to think critically which is one of the main goals of the english class. The writer was able to correct their mistakes in the rough drafting process and was able to correct and present a nice written piece of work to turn in.

There are quotes that help support the paper and make the argument stronger. You could tell that the paper was well researched and that the writer had spent time to edit the paper.It is deserving of an A-
The paper was strongly organized and the style was good. It was obvious that the writer was aware of their audience and their voice was appropriate. Each paragraph was well organized and the topic sentence gave the reader a clear idea of what the paragraph was going to be about. The thesis was a little unclear and the title did not completely relate to the paper as a whole. The sentence structure was good but there was an overuse of citation. Overall a strong paper.

ReplyDeleteThe paper was strongly organized and the style was good. It was obvious that the writer was aware of their audience and their voice was appropriate. Each paragraph was well organized and the topic sentence gave the reader a clear idea of what the paragraph was going to be about. The thesis was a little unclear and the title did not completely relate to the paper as a whole. The sentence structure was good but there was an overuse of citation. Overall a strong paper.
