Assessment

You will conclude your Portfolio with a Portfolio Interview in the final week before the expo-week (or earlier, if you've finished everything well in advance). 

During your Portfolio Interview, your coach will ask you to show your work and reflect on your progress. 

Below, you will find the rubric your coach will use to assess how well you've done your work and whether you merit full marks.
