College of Communication - Writing Arts
The Department of Writing Arts has adopted a set of core values we want our undergraduates to achieve. Whether you plan to be a professional writer, teacher of young writers, or something else, we believe all students should meet these core values.
Portfolio Seminar is one of two senior-level capstone courses (along with Evaluating Writing) in the Writing Arts major. Portfolio Seminar is a one-credit course for which you submit an electronic portfolio of work completed during your career as a Writing Arts major. The portfolio is then reviewed and evaluated by your advisor. (Not sure who your advisor is? Click here.)
Portfolio Seminar provides you the opportunity to reflect on your Writing Arts career via an analysis statement. This analysis statement (or AS) demonstrates your achievement of the department’s core values through the other portfolio writings. The AS will constitute the major portion of your Portfolio Seminar grade.
Any questions should be directed to your advisor or the Coordinator of the Undergraduate Writing Arts major, Sanford Tweedie (tweedie@rowan.edu or 856-256-5223), who is also responsible for administering Portfolio Seminar.
