The final portfolio is the culmination of all work completed for the course. The advantage of a portfolio is that you are able to select your best work over a period of time. It also provides and opportunity for you to re-shoot assignments (if necessary) and experiment without being penalized with a grade. Evaluation is based on your creative approach, demonstration of skill, and the depth of critical thinking used to complete the various assignments. Photo (above) by Clarence J. Goguen.
