Kaplan University Department of Human Services
This will be a lecture to cover the material for Unit 3 from slide 1 – 12. Starting with slide 13 we are going to use the actual seminar questions for option 2 so the students in the live seminar can think about the questions. I would use a poll for each question to see what students report. If you have a lot of students are answering No to the questions I would at the end of the polls talk about the need for them to think about these questions this week and contact their instructor if they are unsure. I would suggest posting this PowerPoint for Unit 3 under Doc Share due to the critical information they need to know to set up their own degree plan.

3. Would you be interested in taking a course (EL203) that can help students that come to Kaplan with some learning or work experiences and trainings that are equivalent to college level learning?
