		“We feel that the project objectives were met and that this initial experience with presentation portfolios was excellent. Over the course of the semester the way we understood presentation portfolios developed and evolved, as we have learned more, we can see other possibilities. This has been a good learning experience for us all.” Project Coordinator, Final Report, 2003, p. 8-9p.
“It is important to recognize that there is a certain amount of time required to absorb the concept of PLAR, as well as the processes and tools. One can not rush the process; it takes time.” Progress Report, 2002, p. 34

	“The creation of my portfolio has helped me realize my abilities and potential. I have a multitude of skills that I never even considered skills.” Portfolio Workshop Participant, Progress Report, 2002, p. 26
