The purpose of the Process and Reflection Portfolio (PREP) is to document students' sustained effort and progress through the inquiry process. Students will reflect on their thought processes, decision-making and rationales, challenges and successes, and each key component of the Academic Paper. The PREP will also provide evidence to academic counselors, college admission officers, and faculty members that the student has done formal academic research.
