UNIV 301 is offered online and asynchronously (no weekly class meeting time). Each week involves readings, writing reflections, class discussions and activities, designed to have you building on and refining your ePortfolio each week. Your instructor will hold office hours weekly so you can connect with them.
The purpose of the class is for you to think critically about your experiences in your courses at the UA. To do that, you will want to save learning artifacts and Signature Assignments from your general education coursework to help you remember, reflect, and demonstrate your learning. Learning artifacts might include things like a lab report, a group project, a presentation, or other original work you created. It’s good practice to hold only any coursework that was meaningful to you at the time. Doing this will help you complete the ePortfolio and UNIV 301 course.
First, review your Advising Report to determine how your transfer credit articulates to the UA General Education program requirements. Your General Education Portfolio Instructor will work with you to help you make connections between your transfer work and the UA General Education program.
