The School of Humanities and Cultural Studies (SoHCS) allows students to submit a portfolio of written work to seek credit for ENG 1100 through Wright State University’s Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Policy. The portfolio should include:
- Two to three samples of written work totaling at least 2,000 words showing proficiency in college-level writing.
- a 350–500-word reflection essay explaining how the writing samples address the learning outcomes for ENG 1100.
Portfolios will be evaluated by English faculty to determine whether the writing reflects the learning outcomes for ENG 1100 and shows that the student can:
- understand rhetorical situations by analyzing the purpose, audience, stance, and conventions of texts from several genres.
- think critically by analyzing model texts and secondary sources.
- compose texts by incorporating ideas and evidence from relevant and credible sources and attempting to employ rhetorical strategies and appeals appropriate for the situations.
- work individually and collaboratively to hone revising and editing skills.
- study genre conventions and apply appropriate conventions to their own work.
Statement on AI Use
The purpose of the ENG 1100 PLA process is to evaluate the student’s prior learning and writing abilities. Therefore, the use of generative AI to create, substantially revise, or replace student-authored content is not permitted. Evidence of generative AI use in the portfolio will result in the denial of PLA credit for ENG 1100.
Cost
The fee for this PLA is listed on the Prior Learning Assessment page.
