The evaluator cannot award credit for knowledge that was limited to a given experience as, for example, knowing the company's policies and procedures for disciplining employees. The student must be able to articulate concepts and principles that would apply or hold true in other settings. The evaluator is looking for college equivalent knowledge that includes generalizations and concepts as well as the specific experiences from which it was gained and the specific applications of that knowledge. The final thing evaluator's look for is appropriate documentation of the learning experience. All essays must have documentation .
Documentation is the verification of specific learning experiences.
Friends University recognizes that there are many useful and valuable areas of knowledge that are not taught within the college system, such as certain industrial or commercial processes that are taught only within industry, or by highly personal learning, related to life experience. The purpose of evaluation is not so grandiose as to attempt to credit all learning, but only the subject areas normally studied within a college or university setting. All rights reserved.
