Well,
I had wondered why people kept saying they would put theirs up, but it was kinda personal. Now that I'm researching it, I see why. I had hopes there was just a 'winning' boilerplate that I could plug and chug.
When I get to the portfolio part of this journey, I'd be happy to add to this thread if others think it might be beneficial.

I assume it's been updated since then, but the foundation is probably the same...
Here's the old open courses (2) for TESU's PLAs.

For the time, effort, and expense, I'd much rather just test out. In a situation where I would do a PLA, I already know the info, might as well complete an exam. I know this isn't available for all classes and degree plans, but when it is, PLA seems like a bad option.
