design is an apprenticeship process. The Relevance of the Portfolio Currently, a student’s transcript is the most widely applied and utilized model for representing a student’s learning and practice of the design process. However, the transcript provides a series of one- dimensional, snapshots or Grade Point Average – GPA. The assessment process most often used to generate the grade is a multiple-choice test, which for the past century, been central to the definition of competency. Given the potential richness and complexity of evidence to demonstrate proficiency in the design process, the portfolio-based assessment offers a promising alternative.
