LESSON #5 - PORFOLIO CRITIQUE OF YOUR SITE AND YOUR CLASSMATE'S SITE

Instructions The instructions for critiquing your portfolio and your classmate's portfolio are exactly the same, so the instructions have been combined into a single page. Familiarize yourself with the Portfolio and Resume Guidelines, and review at least 3 Class Portfolios BEFORE critiquing your own and your classmate's. 1. Self Critique: Create a Web page which answers the questions listed below and then link that page to your homework page. Label the link "self critique". 2. Classmate Critique: Create another page which answers the questions below, this time evaluating the classmate who appears below you on the student sites list. (Bottom student please evaluate the top student.) Link this page to your homework page and label it "classmate critique". Required Web page format: To ensure that you address all of the required criteria, I have created two plain text web pages with the questions and ratings for both of these critiques. You MUST use the content from these pages in the web pages you create. Make sure to personalize these pages once you copy them. That includes changing the page titles and removing the instructions at the top of the page. Feel free to apply text formatting. Here are the links to the pages: Self Critique Template Peer Critique Template Critique Questions 1.
