Is there help for students preparing portfolios?
Yes, students wishing to gain prior learning credit are advised to use the Prior Learning Student Guide for portfolio preparation. A helpful text is Earn College Credit for What You Know by Lois Lamdin (3rd edition, ISBN 0-7872-3573-3 through Kendall Hunt Publishing). The Prior Learning Coordinator will provide guidance and bibliographic information on other texts about portfolio development. In addition, the student’s academic advisor or the Prior Learning Coordinator can provide critiques of the drafts of the various portfolio elements.
