Portfolio NumbersEach assignment we do in class will have a porfolio number. You are required to keep a porflio in class as part of an assignment, we will be checking portfolios at the end of each unit. The reason we keep these is because this is a cummulative class and at the end of the semester/school year you will be taking an exam that covers everything we have done from the beginning of class to the end.
