From the Final Portfolio Assignment, Writing 125/Viti

Requirements for the Portfolio Cover Letter:

You must include in your portfolio a thorough and detailed cover letter (really, more of a writing self-evaluation) to me, in which you discuss the papers in your portfolio. The letter should be at least 500 words long, in 11 or 12 point type, 1 1/2 spaced. This is a very important part of the portfolio, and you should spend some time on it.

Discuss :
(1) What you did in your papers and the changes you made in revising them for the portfolio
(2) A bit about what effect you think these changes had on your final product
(3) Is there anything you think you did especially well that you want me to focus on?
(4) Are there any ongoing writing problems you feel you have? How would you address these problems if you had time?
(5) How did the course's emphasis on writing for different audiences change your writing, if at all?
(6) You should also discuss your continuing goals as a writer.
REMEMBER TO DATE AND SIGN YOUR COVER LETTER!
