This post is to remind you how factors work in your Proto-Portfolio spreadsheets. The screenshots below show example factor scores for book reviews (BRs) completed at various times during first semester. Screenshot 1 shows what the factor score would be for 12 BRs, if you did two each month. Screenshot 2 show[s] the factor score for 10 BRs completed early in the semester. Screenshot 3 shows the factor score for the same number of book reviews (10) completed late in the semester. The same factors apply on 2nd semester spreadsheets:
- Each BR completed during the 1st two months counts as 1.50 BRs.
- Each BR completed during the 2nd two months counts as 1.25 BRs.
- Each BR completed during the 3rd two months counts as only 1 BR.
So, if you have time to spare this summer, it would be a great idea to get started reading books and writing reviews for 2nd semester. Screenshot 1: 12 BRs – same number every month
 |
| Factor score = 15 |
Screenshot 2: 10 BRs – early in semester
 |
| Factor score = 14.25 |
Screenshot 3: 10 BRs – late in semester
 |
| Factor score = 10.75 |
