This book - a resource - deals comprehensively and systematically with the subject of portfolio-based writing assessment. It explores the theory behind using portfolios in a writing program as well as information about what portfolios are, what advantages they hold for assessment purposes, and what effects they can have on a writing program. The book focuses not only on an individual program but on the full spectrum of portfolio assessment and begins to discuss the kinds of research questions that will inevitably arise as portfolio assessment continues to grow.
