This Portfolio Project has two parts: Calculations and a 4- to 6-page essay.

Finally, read through the Portfolio Project Part Two Grading Rubric in the Module 8 folder that will be used to grade your assignment—you will get a feeling for expectations by doing so. Your instructor is here to help you through this project. If you have questions, please let your instructor know. He or she may be willing to take a quick look at your horizontal and vertical analysis to give you feedback in advance since you will not have had much experience on that calculation prior to the project. Always communicate right away with your instructor when you need assistance!
