judging portfolios

Judging is something everyone does on a daily basis. We also all judge in different ways. If I were to judge our portfolios, I would look for a couple key things. First off, I’d ask myself if the writer answered the question asked of them. This is extremely important because it’s the whole reason the portfolio was put together. Next I would look and see if the papers grammar was correct. And I would mainly look and see if the paper flowed easily and was easy to follow. If the paper wasn’t easy to follow, then I wouldn’t know if they answered the question or just randomly put something together at the last minute. I would next look to see if the word choice of the portfolio is that of a college writer. A portfolio with good word choice doesn’t tell you what the answer to the question is, but instead shows you or paints a picture in your head of what the answer to the question is. Lastly I would look to see if the paper had creativity. These portfolios need to be different and should show who you are as a person. Everyone is different and no two portfolios should be closely related. Therefore everyone’s portfolio will be different and unique making them fun to judge. All in all I would look to see if the portfolio answered the questions asked, maintained my attention, was easy to follow, and lastly was unique along with good word choice and sentence structure.
