The document provides instructions for students to complete a portfolio assignment for a WRIT 1733 course. It explains that the portfolio will consist of an introductory essay and three papers. The introductory essay should introduce the selected papers, explain how they demonstrate meeting the course goals of developing knowledge in academic research traditions, writing for different audiences, and using sources. Students should analyze their own strengths and limitations. The portfolio is meant to persuade instructors that students achieved the course goals and to be submitted by a deadline.
