Kalamazoo s Portfolio helps students understand and articulate their educational experiences, see the connections between the parts of a K education, collect their significant academic and experiential work in one place, develop long-term goals and plans that give coherence and direction to their education, and learn Web design. Innovative, Web-based, and nationally recognized, the K Portfolio starts before orientation with a Foundations Essay and culminates with a final Senior Connections response to four years at K College. Along the way, in eight required gateway points, students create their own home pages, link their best work, summarize their academic goals and plans of study, write about the choice of a major, capture their intercultural experience on paper, reflect on their career readiness, and discuss their plans for their Senior Individualized Projects.
Many departments link significant course work to the Portfolios of their majors.
Completion of the Portfolio is a graduation requirement for all students. Click around a little bit and learn what the portfolio is, how to construct the portfolio, what your portfolio needs, and a couple of outstanding portfolios to peek at.
