Begin preparing your General Education Portfolio
• Review the requirements of the General Education curriculum.
• Identify courses that you completed in the Fall or are currently enrolled in this Spring that are part of the General Education curriculum (e.g. ENG 101, COM 101. THE 105 or 110, PSY 101, etc).
• Make a list of artifacts that you completed for each these courses (papers, projects, speeches, etc) – they should be clearly identified in the syllabus for that course along with the ELO they match with (e.g. the Ethical Reasoning ELO for THE 105 and 110).
• Write artifact summaries for each artifact: What? So what? Now what?
• Begin uploading these artifacts with their accompanying summaries into your TaskStream Portfolio
• NOTE: If you completed a General Education requirement at another institution and transferred the credits to WLC or if you received college credit through AP or a similar system, you do not need to upload anything for these courses. Just leave these categories blank in your Taskstream General Education portfolio.
