567 Words3 Pages

In my ENGL 1005A portfolio assessment, I see I am doing well on my Content and Use of Information. With this class, I really enjoyed the topics we worked on, which helped me create more developed essays and learned how to organize it. I am surprised as in how well I did in my first year of college. On my first essay, I worked hard on it and took my time with it by revising and asking my classmate to any errors I have made. It was my first essay in college and I wanted to show a good first impression. With ENGL 1005A, it helped me focus on my writing skills and also my critical thinking. I was not strong in English in the past years, however, this class help me improve my skills such as building a stronger thesis. Also, it helped me to create a more organized and detailed paper. This class helped me be more of a free-writer. In highschool, I was limited on how much I can write, now in college, I can write as much as I want. Therefore, with more freedom, it help me concentrate on my topic and give strong evidence. …show more content…

As a writer, I need to work on being on track. In my past years, I tend to procrastinate a lot and I should stop this bad habit of mine. Therefore, I struggled to know if I was on point with my essays, not knowing if I was doing good or not. I struggled going to offices hours and asking for help because I had no time. Given back results of my essays, I tend to not recognize and repeat many information. As a result, I need to structure my work so I can make my work more organized and structured. I believe I lack structure because I don't ask for assistance and guidance. I have not asked anyone to help me revise my essays, which in the future I would like to do. I would like to work on better my assignments by spending more time on it and being more focused. I would like to have improvements to better myself as a writer so I can get all five in each category next

During this semester in English 120 class, I have grown and learned more about writing than I did in high school. I have learned here that college writing is way different than high school writing. I discovered that writing is not as easy as i thought it is back in high school. I have learned how to express myself more, how to think for myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don't know through research and asking questions. I was introduced to new research ways and databases to get the right answers for my questions.

Validity, reliability, fairness, and positive consequences (for the student and teacher) influence my assessment portfolio many different ways. The validity and reliability was important for my test development and to give clarity. I constructed “Table of Specifications for Test” as a blueprint in Section III of my Assessment Portfolio. As McMillian (2014) emphasized on the terms validity of the test “is used, but it is more accurate to say the validity of the interpretation, inference, or use the results” (p. 65). To be sure that I have created assessment that allow me to make appropriate inferences regarding to the dental hygiene student performance in a content area; I should feel confident that I can attribute as a teacher contribution to this performance.

For example, I never wrote to a certain audience before, and now I can choose my audience as I please, and if I do not want that audience anymore, all I have to do is go back and change it. I have put many hours into writing this semester and I have learned that writing for a certain period of time works best for me. I used to struggle for hours writing papers that were 3-4 pages long, now I can write them in a couple hours.

Portfolio and Class Participation Evaluation The English 3080 class has taught me so much within every session and is helping me through my academic journey in Cal State East Bay. Throughout the course, I learned all kinds of things from my professor, classmates, and experiences. My contributions to the class itself were from fair to good as I was at first very timid and shy to raise my hand and speak. As time progressed and through the help of my group, I learned that it was okay to speak, even if the answer is wrong, and express my thoughts and analysis of the readings. I really enjoyed working with my group because everyone was just so great, open, and had such unique insights.

Comp/Writing has never been a subject that I enjoy and honestly that still has not changed. However, throughout this course I have seen my writing grow more than it has in the last five years. When this essay was first introduced to the class my first thought was “not this again” because I have never thought that any one course has affected my writing. In the past when I have been asked to reflect on my writing I have had to lie about how much I have grown but, in this essay, I know that I do not have to do that. It was not until I took the time to go back and read over the first few projects that were assigned that I realized my writing has changed tremendously.

Over the course of the semester I have noticed a significant increase in the skills I have as a writer, and the skills I already had. Going into the class I was a little self-conscious about how my writing flowed and how well of I writer I was in general. I believed that I did not use enough transitions, that I never had strong enough arguments, and that overall I was just an average writer. After writing my first essay I was a little nervous about how the results of it were going to turn out. What I got back during our conference was some reassuring grades as well as some reassuring comments.

Writing the first essay had its challenges, starting from the preparation in developing a good paper. I had challenges getting previously annotated work, on paper, in a way for the reader to understand. My writing style emphasizes my voice and thoughts in the moment instead of thinking it over in advance before I begin writing. This was our first essay in English 20, so I wanted to put an extra effort to make sure important points from the text were mentioned in a way for the reader to understand. I was able to get more feedback about what I needed to improve on instead of the things I was successful within in my writing.

2.1 Portfolio Paulson (1991) considers portfolios as a powerful educational device that makes it possible for students to take responsibility for their learning. He believes that portfolios can supply the curriculum with instruction and authentic assessment. Accordingly, through the focus on individuals they can be reflection of the educational process. On the other hand, according to Weigle (2002) “portfolio assessment is seen by many as an alternative approach to writing assessment that can allow broader inferences about writing ability that are possible with single-shot approaches to evaluating writing, both in individual classroom and on a larger scale" (p.197). In addition, with portfolios students attempt to view themselves as
