Honors Portfolios

The required Honors Portfolio is maintained in the Honors Workspace in Canvas and provides an opportunity for students to archive their work and track their intellectual growth through their years in the Honors Program. It consists of uploaded artifacts from Honors coursework and a series of short reflective essays on that work.

The portfolio thus serves many purposes:

For the student:

provides a record of academic work that can be used to demonstrate personal and intellectual development
allows for metacognition/reflection about your goals, career interests, and development

For the Honors Program:

provides a means to monitor student progress
allows for more holistic assessment and measurement of the effectiveness of the Honors Program

Contents of the Portfolio

Portfolios should be consistently maintained by the student and should meet annual requirements no later than the last day of classes in an academic year. Completion is assessed by Honors Program staff.

The portfolio must contain:

At least one representative paper or assignment from each of the designated HN courses
Final reflection from HONR 201
Final reflection on leadership experience
Final product from Capstone Project
Graduating Senior Reflection (completed just prior to graduation)
