A portfolio is a “collection of evidence that enables students to demonstrate mastery of a desired course or program outcomes.” (Cottrell, 241) In other words, this is an opportunity to gather information together that can be used to showcase you – your schema or model of the world, your education, your work aspirations, and your accomplishments.
