Writing Portfolio

You may find one or more of the writing assignments in this course to be appropriate for your writing portfolio, which is due at the end of your sixth term. Please talk with me about authenticating your work while this course is underway. I will work with you to revise, if necessary, and I will sign an authentication form that you prepare. If you want to use a final paper or project for your portfolio, I will need an authentication form and a stamped, self-addressed envelope to return your work to you. For more information on the portfolio, consult the folder you received as a first-year student, talk with your advisor, or read about it on the web at: http://apps.carleton.edu/campus/writingprogram/portfolio/

Here you can find the current version of the authentication form in PDF format. If you would like the document in Word format for use with your syllabus or assignments, please contact Carol Rutz.
