criteria for self assessment

Here is what I have written down in my notes. Everyone please add or qualify if you remember better than I did.

Requirements for this class:

Etudes
Statement of poetics (both the one from the beginning of the term and a new or revised one)
Self-evaluation
Portfolio
Cover letter to a journal (two paragraphs; explain how you know the journal; give the titles for your poems or the first line in brackets; give a description of your work; thank the editors for their consideration)

Self-evaluation criteria:
Completion of requirements
Engagement with readings
Attendance
Participation (balance between class discussion, blog, extra readings, attending poet's readings, etc.)
"Effort" (the work you put into your final portfolio in particular)
Quality of portfolio as a cohesive series, an integrated whole
Self-perception of poetic quality
Abstract idea of how well you achieved your goals at the beginning of the term
