11 th Grade Portfolio – Core Classes Survey (Part B)
Directions:
Choose ONE school from the three schools that you used for Core Classes Survey Part A.
Using the internet, find THREE syllabi from courses that are part of the core requirements at that school. The classes must come from 3 different areas of the core general education requirements.
Note: It would be best if you can find three syllabi from ACTUAL courses at the school you have chosen. If you cannot find the syllabus from a course at the school you have chosen, find one from a similar course at a different school.
For example, one of the courses that fulfills a core requirement at John Jay College is Introduction to Anthropology. If you cannot find the actual syllabus for this course on John Jay’s website, you can find a syllabus for a similar course at a different college. If you use google to search “Intro to Anthropology course syllabus CUNY” you will find the syllabus for a similar course at Hunter College.
