Does anyone here have any experience with these essays ?
They require a 3 page essay minimum just for one class and a 15 page essay for a whole semester or something like that.
Anyway is there any websites that pertain just to this kind of essay writing or forum, or a section in this one that would help?

Because I have no idea was is pertinent or not in my life experience for a class or how a class relates to what i know.

Thanks

Good afternoon.

PLAs are Prior Learning Assessments; the length and frequency of them are up to the course/program instructor/director. They provide credit through learning from your coursework, training, any volunteer work you have done, and also your personal life. PLAs mainly focus on the combination of your coursework and these experiences to obtain your educational purposes, and usually measure the quality of your experiential learning using standards such as the Kolb Model, which assumes that learning involves individual reflection upon experiences that illustrate certain ideas or theories likened to those found in traditional college classrooms, as grading guidelines. Some schools require additional PLA courses in preparation for the final project. The specifics of your project depend on your instructor and institution. Since each project is uniquely individual, there are no real formulas or models to rely on to create your own. I suggest contacting your academic advisor for further support options relating to your specific class; there may be study groups or centers on campus that can assist you further.

Good luck!

Thank you for your reply, I had asked my academic adviser and all he told me was to write a pla for the pla division so they could review it and give me class. For example if I wanted credit in Psychology then I would need to write a 3 page paper on it. But i don't have to sign up for the class prior to, so I guess I will attain the syllabus of that class and use to kolb model you speak of to write my paper on courses I want out of.

If i understood this incorrectly, just let me know.
thanks for all your help.

That sounds like a very good plan. Begin your research by doing an internet search for "Kolb Model" that will bring up information you can use to begin your outline. As you work through it, the process will make more sense. You can also search for "ELT" or experiential learning theory, which will help you understand Kolb's theory.

I hope this helps.
