Abstract
This paper presents a review of the literature (including World Wide Web sources) and a discussion of using student portfolios in the college classroom. Topics discussed are the definition of portfolios, contents, uses, evaluation methods, effectiveness and suggested sources for further research. Specifics from various college courses, including engineering, writing, mathematics, and science courses, illustrate the concepts. Three engineering courses are showcased to give an overview of differences in portfolio types, contents and evaluation
