Assignment Evaluation: About Me page and overall E-Portfolio Writing is clear and free from grammatical errors; the purpose of the E-portfolio is clear to the reader (the purpose is to communicate one’s goals and development as a person, student, or professional). A picture either of the student or an image that represents the student has been included. If the image is not the work of the student, a properly formatted MLA citation has been provided. Learning Artifact/Revised Assignment The artifact is described with a caption that indicates the title, date, and significance of the artifact. The revised assignment shows both substantive changes and grammatical and mechanical corrections. There are no errors with MLA formatting, both in-text citations and Works Cited. The revised assignment demonstrates an understanding and application of instructor feedback. The revised assignment shows significant improvement. Reflection on Learning Artifact/Revision Letter Reflections are thoughtful and build persuasive cases for their conclusions. Each paragraph covers the topic laid out in Lesson 10: Revision. The reflection has been properly formatted as a letter, using a salutation and a valediction.
