Request Feedback on a Learning Portfolio’s Organization

Before you write

Use this example when you have assembled a portfolio and want targeted advice on how clearly it presents evidence rather than an unsupported endorsement. Gather the details below so the recipient can act without asking you to reconstruct the situation.

• Portfolio version
• Intended audience and criteria
• Specific organizational questions

An email you can adapt

The subject “Feedback request on [portfolio] structure” identifies the request. Replace each bracketed field with a checked detail and remove any sentence that does not describe your situation.

Subject: Feedback request on [portfolio] structure

Hi [name],
Would you review the organization of [portfolio version] at [approved location]? I would particularly value comments on whether [evidence] is easy to locate and whether the sections match [published criteria]. I am not asking you to verify qualifications or endorse claims outside what you can check. Please tell me if the scope is too large, and I can identify a smaller section for a focused review by [date].
Best, [sender]

Check the boundary

A reviewer’s informal comments should not be presented publicly as a certification or endorsement.

What a useful reply should settle

The response should address the specific structure questions or agree a manageable review boundary.

Apply relevant feedback while keeping the evidence and your own claims accurate and properly attributed.
