Seven Measures of Learning, part 1
End-of-Year ePortfolio
Today’s lecture will cover your final ePortfolio assignment, due near the end of Finals.
We’re coming up on the end of freshman year, so it’s time you got your e-Portfolio in order: there’s a series of ePort assignments listed at right under “Homework.” Besides uploading samples of your work from this course to the Rhetoric 102 folder, you also need to create a special section titled, “Interdisciplinary Reflections.” The college is asking freshmen and sophomores to use this space to reflect on what they’ve learned at Boston University.
As an aid in thinking about your education, the college has created a rubric of seven essential skills. These are cross-disciplinary in nature, representing methods that are taught and employed in most if not all of your courses in college.
- Written and oral communication
- Gathering, analyzing, and documenting information
- Awareness of specific historical, literary, and cultural contexts
- Rhetorical and aesthetic conventions
- Critical Thinking and perspective-taking
- Integrative and applied learning
- Quantitative methods
