I'd also be interested in who is assessing via portfolio evaluation. We are
also looking at this for OCAD... fits right in with art and design students
who are constantly creating portfolios for visual work.
By the way, I just wanted to say thanks again to all who organized the
Kamloops conference. The location was beautiful and the presentations were
very informative.
Best, C.

Subject: Writing Requirements
Piggy-backing on Doug's question, I'd also be interested if any Canadian
universities have moved toward a writing requirement based on a system
of portfolio evaluation, which seems to be a growing trend in the U.S.
(If so, what has your experience with such a system been like?)
