The study also aims to analyze the acceptance of students of both courses towards e-portfolio assignments. This study employs qualitative approach and data were obtained from students’ reported reflections and feedbacks in their e-portfolios. Data were analyzed thematically, and subsequent validation of findings was made using the method, time, and person triangulation. This study finds that students’ acceptance of e-portfolio assignments as a self-learning method and student-centered assessment method was positive. These findings are in line with the theory and result of previous literature.
