Welcome to CODES! This site is your ePortfolio, which you\u2019ll use to document your learning throughout the program. This is how your instructors assess your work each semester, so it\u2019s important to keep it up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In CODES, you\u2019re graded based on the goals you set, along with some basic standards. Each semester, you\u2019ll choose five goals from the list of student learning outcomes to work towards. You\u2019ll set some tangible goals and describe what kinds of assignments you\u2019ll use to work towards them. You and your professor will work together at the start of the semester to make sure your goals are achievable and aligned with the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the course of the semester, you\u2019ll track and reflect on your progress toward those goals. In your eportfolio, you\u2019ll collect artifacts \u2014 those are any kind of evidence that show how you\u2019re learning and growing in a particular area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At midterm and at finals, your professor will evaluate your progress, basing your grade on those artifacts and your reflections about them. It\u2019s important to know that you don\u2019t have to master every goal you set or do everything perfectly! Sometimes the best reflections come from things that didn\u2019t go as planned. But equally, it\u2019s really crucial to reflect thoughtfully and thoroughly so that your professor can make sense of how all the artifacts fit into a narrative of your learning during the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several resources<\/a> on the main ePortfolio site. Here are a few resources you\u2019ll find helpful in your first semester:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
