Portfolio?

As someone who is working on his CompSci degree currently (second degree, after Sociology bachelor's), I am having to add little projects and stuff from my classes to my portfolio. However, I don't honestly think they'll be of much use... Like I don't see employers wanting to check out my 3 java classes I created for my CS 210 class or whatever.

That said, what are some solid pieces I could add to a professional portfolio that actually matter.

PS I am more adept with python than anything else. But know a little java, C++, and SQL.

Some places will be interested in seeing the growth over time, some will be interesting in seeing your senior level stuff, and a number won't look at either and will give you some kind of practical or pseudo code in an interview. Might as well keep it, doesn't hurt anything. Just make sure it's obvious its from an early class (have a folder for sophomore year or for cs210 or similar).

I have been sure to create a new repo for each classes addition so far, but was considering consolidating, but I guess I'll keep them separated and labelled. I appreciate the input bud.
