SNL TLA ASSESSOR RECOMMENDATION

I recommend this scheme as a basis for awarding college-level competence:

Limit to the course(s) on the student’s submission form(s) only (leave unchecked if all courses included in the scheme may be included)

Allow student-written competences statements (leave unchecked if particular competence statements should be articulated to the scheme)

Articulate to pre-written competence statements. Please offer your suggestions for appropriate competencies:

I do NOT recommend this scheme as a basis for awarding college-level competence. Further evidence of the student’s college-level learning should be submitted, such as an essay or other artifact.
