Portfolio Contents
Candidates for August 2008 completion should obtain
the portfolio contents requirements at the LBD exit
interview scheduled for January 5, 2008 during the
Town Meeting day.
Portfolio contents are being revised for
2008-2009 and will be posted here when approved.
Portfolio Format
The portfolio may be presented in either notebook
or electronic format. If in electronic format (e.g.,
on a jump drive), all files should be organized in
sequential order and have clear file names. Whether
paper or electronic, all documents should be in APA
format (e.g., double-spaced, one-inch margins, font
size 10-12, right header at the top of each page
identifying the item and page number). References to
existing works should be provided to avoid
plagiarism and should follow APA guidelines for the
type of item referenced.
Portfolio Grading
Process
The portfolio must be submitted to the LBD
Program Director by the deadline in December (for
December graduates) or May (for August graduates).
Each portfolio is assigned to at least one faculty
reviewer and may have a second reviewer. The
reviewers have a deadline for reviewing and scoring
the portfolio. The Associate Dean of Graduate
Studies sends a notice letter to the candidate of
portfolio pass or fail. If the portfolio does not
pass, the candidate is notified to revise and
resubmit the portfolio items of concern to the LBD
Program Director within a timeframe for graduation.
The candidate is responsible for contacting his or
her advisor to arrange a meeting to review needed
revisions. Upon resubmission to the LBD Program
Director, the portfolio items/sections which require
revision are rescored by a new scorer.
After the candidate receives a notification
letter of a passing score, the candidate is
responsible for making arrangements to pick up the
portfolio. Portfolios are not mailed or returned to
candidates. |
