Yeah ShotoJuku,
About a month ago I finished a Portfolio development class through Excelsior College. I learned to create an Excelsior approved portfolio, but I have yet to actually create my first one. For Excelsior, this course was mandatory before one could petition for portfolio credit (It's worth 3 credits itself). So I took it, because some time soon I want to receive credit for weaving I have done. Are you in a position where you can go straight into your portfolios or do you also have to take a prep class?

No, I don't have to take a class but I have ordered a "how to" book on preparing experiential learning portfolios from amazon and getting some guidance from others who have already been down that path.

At present I will be able to submit up to 3 portfolios out of 12 classes I will be taking to attain a Masters in Criminal Justice Administration.

Thanks again![/COLOR][/SIZE]
