Quantitative Reasoning (L6) Proficiency Portfolio Exam

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE PROFICIENCY PORTFOLIO EXAM

The Quantitative Reasoning Portfolio Exam is an opportunity for you to clarify that you have already developed the proficiency for this competence. Use the following chart (page 3) to list evidence that shows you meet the criteria for this competence. You may include work, college-level courses, and other accomplishments that demonstrate your proficiency in Quantitative Reasoning. You must complete an entry for each criterion.

Complete the chart—each row—and briefly note the evidence that you are proficient in each of the areas listed on the chart. You may cite the same evidence for more than one category. Your portfolio must include at least three different components that substantiate your proficiency. For example, you might include a college course you took for several of the criteria, a certificate you earned for several of the criteria, and work project you completed for several criteria, but you must include three different kinds of experiences/work that demonstrate your development of the proficiency. Any course work you cite must be college-level and you may use more than one course. The exam requires that you submit three different components--such as, for example, one course, one institute or other professional development program, or examples of applications of the proficiency requirements in work.  Each component's relevance to the requirements should be specified in the examination form, which requires that you not only list the component you indicate applies to that requirement but also explicitly how it demonstrates that you developed that competence. Any courses you identify to meet this proficiency also can be applied to meet a competence in another part of your SNL degree.

Use the chart on page 2 to clarify the evidence you are citing for this proficiency.

· For any course work, include date of course, title of course, course description, institution, and grade.

· For any professional work, include dates of employment and position.

· For any project work, include organization or group with which you completed the project, dates of the work.

Attach relevant documents to this summary, including documentation of work or course work. Course work documentation can consist of listing of course, college/university, course number, date completed, and grade. If you are including any professional work be sure to include not only a statement about the work you do but also evidence of work that applies the specific criterion you indicate you are addressing. If you cannot provide direct evidence of work you have done you must describe the work completely and in detail and include a confirmation that you have completed the work from either a supervisor or course syllabus.

You may submit the portfolio by email to [email protected] . Please submit completed chart in a Microsoft Word format. If you are submitting by email, scan the documents to substantiate your experience. The portfolio will be examined for completeness and appropriateness.

All students who take this exam must have completed Foundations of Adult Learning. Once submitted you will receive an assessment on the portfolio within six weeks of your submission.

Assessment Basis

The assessor for your exam will analyze your responses to each of the six components of this competence listed on the previous charts. Your submission must address all six components and provide evidence that you work or experience demonstrates that you meet each of the six criteria.

Students whose work does not meet the requirements will need to complete the Quantitative Reasoning course to meet this competence.

You must provide evidence that your experience demonstrates that you have developed the proficiency that each of the six criteria requires.

Provide specific evidence of competence for each criterion . For example, if you cite a course, indicate how the course addressed that specific criterion. If you cite a work project, explain how that project required the application of abilities that meet that criterion.

You may use the same evidence more than once, but you must provide three kinds of evidence for the exam as a whole. For example, you may include a course that emphasizes quantitative reasoning, a project that applied quantitative reasoning, and a position in which you apply quantitative reasoning as a significant part of your work. You need to explain in the second column how that evidence relates to that criterion specifically. For example, if your position requires you to analyze data, explain the kinds of data you analyze and the kinds of analytic processes you use.

Here is an example of a student’s submission of different documentation:

I am attaching the following documentation:

1. Course syllabus, Financial Statement Analysis

2. Business Plan, My Own Business—including information about setting up the business, sources used, actual plan.

3. Stock portfolio analysis, including explanation of basis for setting it up

4. Statement from Investment Group about the Portfolio Analysis, including description of the response by the group to my recommendations.

Note—only three sources of evidence are required, but this example includes four to show that you may use a variety of kinds of experience.

IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU COMPLETED A COURSE, include the quarter or semester, institution, and your grade. The course must be already on your DePaul transcript as either a DePaul course or a transfer course.

Quantitative Reasoning (L6) Proficiency Exam Cover and Registration Page

In order to complete this exam, you must have successfully completed Foundations of Adult Learning. Complete the exam at least 2 quarters prior to your anticipated graduation date.

The exam will be evaluated by an evaluator with substantial expertise in the field. You will receive a response to your exam within six weeks of submission.

By submitting the exam, students are required to accept the decision of that evaluation. I understand and agree to that requirement. Please be sure you add [email protected] to your email address book, to assure you receive any emails regarding your exam. By submitting this exam, you agree to have a $150 exam charge placed on your student account.
