Prior Learning Assessment Options - Essay Example

 I plan to participate in the portfolio process and use my life-learning essay within it. I do not wish to use the transfer of courses, because right now I feel that I did not attend the schools long enough, and not sure how many classes I completed. As well, I do not want to do the CLEP or DSST tests right now because I have not completed enough classes to acquire the basic literacy skills to complete the testing options. I understand that they are necessary to get credits that supplement my degree, but there is a huge chance of me failing and weakening my grades in my major.

In addition, I have too much stress now to do the tests appropriately. I may end up failing the test, and that would be bad for my curriculum vitae. The stress arises from personal home and school issues and I have been unable to concentrate in class and attend all class lessons. As a result, I have missed some important parts of the syllabus that are necessary for my overall assessment.
