Portfolios

At the end of the term each student will turn in a portfolio, i.e. a colection of her/his work for the term. This should be in some sort of binder, be well arranged and easy to read.

Most of the work will be based upon homework given during the term, but should be in a final form, presentable to an outsider.

For example, the Rats could be presented as an illustration of the steps in the development of an object-based design:e.g.

• 1) What are the objects and what uses are there for them,
• 2) What are the corresponding function declarations categorized as private members, public member, and free functions.
• 3) data representation choices,
• 4) implementation of the functions,
• 5) a test program with sample runs.

Epecially emphasize your own work on group projects, how you reached decisions, what (if any) changes you've made or functions you've added and what you learned.

Some of the homework is culumative. It those cases only the final version might be included.

You may make changes, corrections, improvements to your homework

You may rework exams and explain what was learned.

Include your final project.

A table of contents and/or index would be a good idea.

Format: Hardcopy.

Deadline: 5:00 pm, last day of class
