I read this book with my Big 10 pharmacy assessment colleagues and discussed it over three months on teleconference calls. John Z is a big name in the field. I couldn't relate to all of the examples (many liberal arts), but it still gave me lots of ideas for the portfolio course.

My Tweet: Reflection, evidence of learning and collaboration are core. Avoid the "schmooze and glow". Tell why. Engage. Emphasize the journey.
