Using alternative assessments

Hi Karen- Since the classes that I teach are mostly soft skills/general education, I do not use Portfolios, however, most of our technical and Graphic design, multimedia faculty do. It usually is a grade of Pass/Fail based on whether they have demonstrated that they have met the competencies set for the course. Best wishes- Susan

Supporting the learning styles of your students
