Research Portfolio. The Portfolio is a written record of the students’ efforts to identify literature pertaining to the research topics they select, to allocate this literature to the most appropriate sections of a research proposal format that is compatible with the level of development of the literature supporting their topics, and to compose full-blown synopses of the articles they have allocated to these proposal format sections. The Portfolio development process involves interactions with Personal Research Mentors who are assigned to students and whose role it is to lead the students through each activity in the process. The Mentor provides the students with handouts that describe each of the steps, receives homework assignments from the students, and reviews the homework (offering suggestions for improvement where appropriate). When the Portfolio is complete, the students schedule Oral Defenses with the Vice President for Research, who both mentors them in their preparations for the Oral Defense and leads them through it. When students have responded to any suggestions for improvement emerging from their Oral Defenses, the Vice President guides them through the process of binding their Portfolios.
