Indicators #1-3 Decision Rules for eportfolio Holistic Assessment Rubric Decision Rules First check to see if the eportfolio has the appropriate section. Then check the quality of the page and its written and graphical contents: Poor The page is confusing (or clear but very basic), with little or no content or elaboration. Satisfactory The page is representative of good work from a typical college sophomore: It is clearly organized and contains elaboration or significant content. Exemplary The page meets the Satisfactory designation AND the rater would pick out this page to show to an external audience or as an example for other students to emulate. #4 The rater examines the reflective writing in the eportfolio, using the Commonsense Reflective Writing Rubric as a guide. Not Done The eportfolio does not contain reflective writing. Poor The majority of the reflective writing falls into the Clearly Below Expectations or Progressing Towards Expectations categories of the Commonsense Reflective Writing Rubric. Satisfactory The majority of the reflective writing falls into the Meets Expectations category. Exemplary The majority of the reflective writing falls into the Exceeds Expectations category. #5 Self explanatory check one box. #6 Self- explanatory. If Other write the platform name. 4
