The assessment portfolio records your growth in the inquiry Course. You should keep a hard copy in your course binder, but another copy will be filed on the R:/inq101i/assignmt folder. Around the middle of the semester (c. October 24^th) and again near the end of the semester (December 8^th), you will submit your portfolio with the following contents:

1. A copy of the answers to the four course questions with my comments on them as they were returned to you. Along with this you will write a brief (c. 100 words) commentary on how your answers to the first two questions may have changed since your first draft.
2. A self-evaluation of your own ability at the course skills listed on the syllabus. You should attach a copy of one piece of graded work, I recommend a paper from your writing class, but if there is no suitable paper, a section of your journal will suffice. Again the professor’s comments should accompany the paper or entry. You should use that piece of work as evidence to support your self-evaluation.
3. An entry that is a self-evaluation of how you have made and plan to make personal/academic choices (courses, majors etc.). You should consider honestly how your past choices have been made. Did you actually make choices or simply avoid them and go along with the easiest option (like the bystanders in the Emperor's New Clothes)? If you did make choices, how did you know which to make? Did you apply classification? Analysis? An understanding of cause/effect relationships? (c.100 words)
4. A statement on the role of the physical self and the thinking or mental self in shaping individual identity will be in the portfolio for its first (October 24^th) submission. A statement on the role of other "selves" will be in the December submission. (c.100 words each)
