"Only connect! . . .Live in fragments no longer.Ó E. M. Forster, Howards End (1910), ch. 22
ÔOne day when I was twenty-three or twenty-four
this sentence seemed to form in my head, without my willing it, much
as sentences form when we are half-asleep, ÔHammer your thoughts
into unityÕ. For days I could think of nothing else and for years I tested
all I did by that sentence [...]Ó William Butler Yeats (cited in Frank
Tuohy, Yeats, 1976, p.51 )

Grades: To get a B on the portfolio you need to meet all the
basic requirements almost perfectly, including table of contents/indexing
and page numbering/linking.
Grades: to get an A on the paper portfolio you need to go beyond that to an achievement in visual rhetoric. Think of this as a portfolio you will be taking to an architectural or leadership magazine, seeking employment in competition with many others. You would be well advised to have it all typed in one way or another, perfectly proofread, illustrated, etc. and very professional in appearance. Pay special attention to unity and to Effective Visual Design (Faigley).
To get an A on a web portfolio the requirements are much the same, translated into web terminology. For a good example of how to include all your DB entries in a web portfolio see FranziÕs E603 and previous websites. Your web portfolio must be put on a CD so that it can be transferred to my website and must run on that Mac server. To fit these requirements all files must be on the CD and it must work by itself with no links to the internet except for the picture links. YOU NEED TO GET THIS CD WITH THESE AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED CHANGES TO ME TWO DAYS BEFORE IT IS DUE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS PROPERLY.
