"LiveText Graduate Portfolio Training" sessions are available periodically at each NWOSU campus and at the Ponca City University Center. Please watch for a schedule of sessions (see 'Announcements') . Student sessions will address construction/template issues; faculty sessions will address portfolio assessment procedures.
These sessions will be "hands on" training, using student portfolios that are in various stages of development. Faculty advisory committee members are required to complete an assessment of their advisees' portfolios at Milestones 1, 2 and 3.
