PROF-21000 Learning from Experience: Prior Learning Assessment

Students will learn to develop a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Portfolio for elective credit by reflecting on relevant prior experiential learning.  The completed portfolio includes a table of contents, vita, letters of support, autobiographical essay, learning outcomes statements, documentation, and at least two PLA Essays, which identify what they have learned from professional and personal experience.  The class meets every other week for 16 weeks, so that students have the time to produce all parts of the portfolio and are prepared to submit it for assessment at the end of the semester.  Students who choose to write more than two PLA essays have one year from the end of the class in which to submit their portfolio for assessment.  Students must complete an online orientation prior to registration.
