Unit Two: Writing Credit Requests

In this unit, you will continue writing credit requests. We will also begin to explore documentation. In order to receive college credit, it is not enough that you say you have college-level learning. Stacks of certificates from workshops are not enough, either. Someone else needs to support and verify your claim. You will learn more about that in this unit.
