Instructor Comments:

This assessment tool allows the instructor to mark on a scale from Below Level
1 to a Level 4. It is hoped that most students would be able to achieve a Level 3
or (B+). I would expect the instructor to use the space above to comment on
which areas I completed well and which areas I need to work on next time. A
mark does not always give the full picture but a comment can be more specific.
In my class we use the icon of a heart (what you liked) and stairs (what I need
to work on). We cant use these in a university setting but the idea is the
same. What did you like? What should I do next time?
***This portfolio contains two distinct components: 1. The modules themselves
and 2. The portfolio itself and the written reflections connecting CGEs and
Professional Standards Perhaps the comments above could make a distinction
between the two components
