What is a portfolio?\u00a0A portfolio is a collection of items organized in a notebook, file, or a similar format. By collecting this information throughout a course, you can clearly see the connections among assignments as well as the progress you have made. In ENGL110, your portfolio will reflect the work you have done in a specific discipline or topic, ending with the analysis of a problem you have explored. Here are the required elements of the portfolio.\u00a0The required sections are included in the template.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0

Final Paper\u00a0(Problem Analysis) <\/p>\n
Assignment Instructions\u00a0This analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of study by first exploring it, its causes, and its impacts.\u00a0 Then, if you want, you can recommend one or more practical solutions to solve the problem.\u00a0 \u00a0
After deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions about it. Your goal for the analysis is to answer the questions through your sources. Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that you explore those possibilities in the final paper before settling on your recommendation.\u00a0 Be sure to identify what is at stake. \u00a0
Here are questions to help guide your analysis:\u00a0What is the problem being addressed (explain, describe, and \u201cprove\u201d that it exists)? \u00a0
Who is affected by this problem? \u00a0
Why does this problem exist (identify the root causes)? \u00a0
Why does the problem persist (identify the major factors that contribute to the problem\u2019s ongoing presence)? \u00a0
What is at stake if the problem is not solved?\u00a0
