Electronic Writing Portfolio
Students graduating under the 2000-01 catalog must do the Electronic Writing Portfolio. The first essay/document will come from a writing-centered course in the General Education curriculum, ENG 1001G, ENG 1002G, ENG 1091G, or ENG 1092G (generally completed before the student has earned 30 hours); the second essay/document will come from a writing-intensive course at the 2000 or 3000 level or from an introductory, writing-intensive course in the major field (generally completed when the student has earned between 30 and 59 hours); the third essay/document will come from an upper-division, writing-intensive General Education course or from a 3000- or 4000- level writing-intensive course in the major (generally completed when the student has earned between 60 and 89 hours); the fourth essay/document will come from the Senior Seminar (generally completed after the student has earned 90 hours).

Further information about the Electronic Writing Portfolio is available at http://www.eiu.edu/~assess.
