Petition byJamie HardingCranberry Township, PA

I started this petition because I believe the ePortfolio is a complete waste of time and effort for all Clemson students. I understand the reason behind having an ePortfolio, with the capabilities to see the work completed by various students to meet set requirements. However, I find this "assignment" to be a complete waste of time and a burden on our students.

Assimilation or accommodation?


The integration of new concepts and technologies can be either assimilated by the current environment, or the current environment can accommodate the environment to the potential of new technologies – e.g. use the Internet to broadcast contents like the radio, television or print (assimilation) or to aggregate knowledge through social networks (accommodation).
