1) Portfolio Project
a. The goal of the portfolio project is to tell the story of your learning in mathematics through evidence that you create/collect while reviewing.
b. The Portfolio is due on Tuesday, June 3 with your final exam.
c. More details on the portfolio project are given on a separate document.
d. You will have some opportunity to work on your portfolio during class, but you should plan to spend a significant amount of time outside of class as well.
