Hello Tutor,

The following is my summary about Portfolio and its objective.

The portfolio is a useful tool to evaluate students learning and a process-oriented approach
that encourages critical reflexive thought and self-directed learning. It serves an important
purpose in demonstrating students’ knowledge, values, and skills. One of the main objectives
of the portfolio is self-directed learning, students are able to design their portfolios in ways
that made sense to their experiences.
