his is not necessarily a “section” of the essay in itself; instead, think of the writing in this module as pieces of information that you’ll place appropriately in a larger Academic Expectations section later on. Know, though, that your writing about guidelines and requirements is key to this section.
Writing about the SUNY General Education Requirements is the easiest place to start, because you choose 7 of 10 fixed areas and explain what learning you’re using to fulfill each area.
Writing about the ESC Area of Study Guidelines is a bit more complex, only because they are guidelines which can be addressed in multiple ways. Here is a process that may help:
- Read the guidelines appropriate to the type of degree you want to pursue. (If you’re uncertain, now’s the time for us to talk.)
- Identify key words and concepts from the guidelines—both the introductory portion of the guideline in your area and any appropriate concentration guideline. You might list key words and concepts for yourself, if it helps to have an easily-accessible list.
- Connect with other students via the discussion to see if they’re working with the same guideline and to compare and discuss your results.
- Summarize the guideline in your own words.
- Then start writing about how you’re addressing those key pieces of the guideline.
Again, don’t feel that you need a fully-developed “section” of an essay here. It’s okay to submit different paragraphs, which may be a bit disjointed at this point. The main thing is that you begin to understand and articulate requirements and guidelines so that you can explain how you’ve addressed them.
