General information about the portfolio and its evaluation

• Earning “credit” on all 6 major compositions is required to meet the basic standards of English 105 and make a student eligible to earn a passing grade for the semester. Also, each composition must first earn “credit” before it can be revised as one of your portfolio presentation pieces to be graded.
