The School of Humanities and Cultural Studies (SoHCS) allows students to submit a portfolio of written work to seek credit for ENG 2100 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 to 500-word reflection essay explaining how the writing samples address the learning outcomes for ENG 2100.
Portfolios will be evaluated by English faculty to determine whether the writing reflects the learning outcomes for ENG 2100 and shows that the student can:
- choose and evaluate sources for appropriateness for the given rhetorical situation, including author, purpose, audience, and context.
- conduct research to critically select and incorporate scholarly articles from major academic fields and other reputable sources to support their own claims.
- develop a progressive, focused, and logical argument that supports their thesis while acknowledging the complexity of issues.
- reflect on their writing processes and consider reader’s feedback to improve the quality and clarity of the successive drafts.
- analyze academic conventions and apply appropriate conventions to their own work.
Statement on AI Use
The purpose of the ENG 2100 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 2100.
