Finding my PLACE (Prior Learning Activity for Credit Evaluation). The PLACE program allows me to earn up to 15 credits towards an Associate Degree. Since I will take so many math courses, my goal is to create portfolios for Introduction to Computing (after three SAS courses, I know how to use and program a computer!), and Introduction to Speech Communication (After and publicly speaking at Toastmasters, this will be a shoo-in!). I will take the student development this spring semester to learn how to compile a portfolio (which will help me with my master’s thesis and year-end appraisal) then submit them during fall 2007 after achieving residency to reduce costs. Employing this strategy saves me a boatload of money!
The A.S. in Science/Mathematics advising sheet has a history elective course which I will take the CLEP American Government test, ace it then audit the class; transfer my CSU micro and macro classes for the social science electives; and enroll at UDC to take linear algebra/differential equations to audit NOVA’s differential equations and linear algebra courses. Since I will receive residency until August 1, 2007, that’s a cost savings of nearly $1235, the cost of one course!
