My Journey: BA in English from TESU

[davewill]

Apparently the course I wanted to PLA the most was "professional development", and I'm being advised that I can't, although I'm not sure I trust that (because TESU has been giving me seriously conflicting information on other things).

I think this may be a bit of misunderstanding. There's two parts to doing a PLA. The first is to find an actual college course that you wish to get credit for. I think that's what they are trying to tell you when they say that you can't PLA a professional development course. Search the TESU database for an equivalent course. If you can't find one there, broaden your search to other RA schools to find an equivalent course and submit THAT as your PLA. The second part is doing and documenting the learning. For that part, you could certainly take a PD course, and document that what you learned in it fulfills the learning objectives of the college course.
