About Portfolio Review

How Reviewing Works
Students display their work on 6' tables. There is open reviewing time to allow reviewers to see all the tables. There are two 30 minute sessions that are for one-on-one reviews.

How Students and Reviewers Are Matched
All Reviewers are asked to select the top three categories they prefer to review. Reviewers are assigned one category from their top three choices to review.

How Judging Works
Judges cast 4 votes: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in Overall (all categories). The 4th vote is for the top selection in the category they have reviewed.
