Course
Overview: This course provides a means by which selected students may design a portfolio of their experiences and the learning gained from them in a systematic and documented way. The portfolio thus created may then be submitted to faculty of Ohio University for assessment and possible award of credit for college courses. The lessons of this course are designed to assist the student in the process of analyzing and recording goals, the experiences gained in employment, community activities, and hobbies, and the learning gained from those experiences, and presenting them in an orderly sequence.
