Avoid Selection Sampling Bias in Portfolios Print this page Save this page
Avoid sampling bias by having students include all of their papers or projects in their portfolios. Some teachers prefer a comprehensive portfolio as opposed to a sampling portfolio. To build a comprehensive portfolio, have students arrange their efforts from most effective to least effective, and then ask them to write a comparison/contrast cover letter that justifies the selection of the best piece as offset by the least effective piece.
