Alternative Assessments
You can also meet the requirements for this ULR through assessment of prior learning. To complete alternative assessment, you must submit a portfolio demonstrating achievement of the learning outcomes and demonstrate satisfactory completion of at least 30 hours of community service.
Alternative assessment assumes that you have already attained mastery of the outcomes. It is not an independent study. To qualify for alternative assessment, you should contact
Chair Seth Pollack to schedule a pre-assessment evaluation. Upon satisfactory completion of the evaluation, you will be given permission to enroll in Assessment 433.
