Some researchers have also suggested that the learners should not the held responsible forpoor quality (Saxe, 1990). Instead, the structure of the system and the mechanics ofmanagement must be blamed for inadequate knowledge acquisition and unacceptableperformance outcomes (Senge, 1990). Researchers have further indicated that a courseportfolio should be treated essentially, like a manuscript of scholarly work in progress. In otherwords, a course portfolio can be deemed as a work that explains what, how, and why studentslearn or do not learn in a course (Sims, 1992). Educators Clifford O.
