revision portfolio

Rather than construct a typical portfolio of your best work, this final assignment will not only show your understanding of the writing process by addressing the various forms of revision used throughout the semester but most importantly will show how you respond as a writer to the comments --both by me and your peers -- provided on your work. The portfolio consists of multiple components and represents a semester's effort and will comprise 20% of your final grade.

All revision portfolio elements are due on the last day of classes for the semester: 7 December.
