Assignment/Assignment-1/Academic Blueprint Cheat Sheet x
ACADEMIC BLUEPRINT CHEAT SHEET
Tips for Completing this Assignment
1. When you complete the first section (Atlas Research of Academic Pathway), KEEP THIS WINDOW OPEN for the Yellow Boxes section. “My Education Plan” is far, far more helpful to you than the Degree Audit. (This will make more sense when you do the yellow boxes below.)
TIP: If you are Dual Enrollment and there is nothing really to see, OR if you are planning on changing your major, you can click on “What If?” at the left and run a report that would give you the requirements if you changed your degree. (What If? Is greyed out, but you can still use it.)
2. Access Your Degree Audit. All you have to do is follow the directions, make a PDF of your degree audit, and turn it in with the assignment. To make a PDF, choose “PRINT” on your web browser and instead of sending it to a printer, choose “Save as PDF” or “Print to Microsoft PDF.”
TIP: There is a “what if?” Option here as well. See #1.
Answer Question 5, Catalog term, by writing whatever term is listed on your Degree Audit. The catalog term is the term you started your program. It is IMPORTANT because it is your contract with the college. If for some reason the college changes the requirements while you are still working on your degree, you are grandfathered in to the requirements that were listed in the catalog when you began. The only way you will lose this grandfathering is if you a) change your major or b) leave school for a year or more. In both of these cases, you will then be grandfathered into the new catalog.
3. College/University Exploration.
a. If you are an AS student, you are going to put Valencia College as College 1 and another school as College 2 that offers a similar AS degree.
b. If you are an AA student, you are going to choose two different colleges (NOT Valencia) that you might want to transfer to.
c. Research both colleges, put the answers in the appropriate columns, and then check off which college you think has the advantage over the other one for each set of questions.
4. Access your degree program sheet. The assignment says you can use floridashines.org. I do not recommend this. I recommend going to the actual website of the college you are researching to find the answers. The reasons are:
a. Floridashines is only for Florida colleges. If you are going out of state, this site will not help you.
b. Floridashines is maintained by some outside entity who may or may not have updated information.
c. It is better to learn how to search a college website. Generally, there will be an “Academics” tab and that’s how you will find the degrees and programs.
d. Once you find the sheet with all your requirements, save it as a PDF (as you did in Step 2) and turn it in with this assignment.
5. YELLOW BOXES
The instructions say to use your degree program sheet (YES) and your degree audit (NO). Instead of the degree audit, use the MY EDUCATION PLAN from Step 1. There is far, far, far more information in My Education Plan to help you complete the yellow boxes. You need to write down ALL the remaining courses you plan to take at VALENCIA ONLY. The reason you are using your degree program sheet is so you can plan strategically. You want to look at UCF (or whatever school you’re going to) and see what requirements you need. If there are any 1000 or 2000 level classes you need, you will then see if they will double as Valencia requirements and choose those classes. Only write what you need for Valencia. You do not need to write down your 3000 and 4000 level classes at UCF. If you only need 4 or 5 boxes, leave the rest blank. If you need more boxes, feel free to copy and paste more boxes into the Blueprint Assignment.
TIP: Several students make appointments with their advisor and ask for them to list all the courses they need to graduate. Then they take this list and use it to fill in the yellow boxes.
6. Final Section.
This is pretty self-explanatory. Just answer the questions. However, be careful with the very last sentence in #11 – . Detail your action plan to get accepted into your desired program.
Notice is says PROGRAM, not School. When you look at your degree program sheet, you may see a list of Admission Requirements. Some schools will let you into the school, but not the major. You must answer the question with this information. For example, at UCF, there are certain 3000 and 4000 level classes that need to be completed before you can be accepted into the Accounting major. Your action plan would be to enroll in UCF, complete those courses, then apply to the major. If your program has no special admission requirements, state that in the final question.

b. Will you need to relocate to attend this school?
c. Explain your housing and transportation plans.
Tangerine, FL
Yes, I will need to relocate.
I will live close to campus in an apartment. To get to campus, I will be able to use the campus shuttle; I can bike or longboard if the weather is good.
☒ ☐
Fabricated, FL
No, I will not need to relocate.
I will live at home and drive to campus for classes.
Program/Major:
a. What program or major would you pursue?
b. What unique opportunities are provided for students in your program or major? (Use the school’s website to research –organizations, honor societies, study abroad, internships, etc.).
BA Basketweaving
The program has senior year internships, an International Basketweavers Association chapter, and the opportunity to learn basketweaving in Europe during a study abroad.
☒ ☐
BA Basket Art and Construction
The program has internships at United Basketweavers of Florida, a weekly market for students to display and sell their baskets, and a chapter of Beta Tau Upsilon Basketweaving Honor Society.
Tuition/Cost:
a. What is the cost of one year’s tuition?
b. Calculate the overall tuition cost for your degree.
c. List the other expenses you would incur at this school (room and board, transportation).
$8,789
$16,578
I would have expenses related to housing including rent, bedding, towels, etc. I would also have to pay for car expenses.
☐ ☒
$7,100
$14,200
I would have expenses related to my transportation like gas, tolls, and maintenance.
Environment/Campus Setting:
a. Describe the geographical size and setting of the campus (urban or suburb).
b. Evaluate if the school has the conveniences and necessities you want (ex: social and recreational activities, weather, child care, etc.).
The FFU campus is 1,222 acres and has a lot of open space. The campus feels like a small town with stores and restaurants.
FFU has a ukulele club, a recreation center with a 52 lane bowling alley. I am okay with the weather since it is a lot like where I live now.
☒ ☐
SSU is in the center of the downtown area and is in two high-rise buildings. The campus is definitely urban.
SSU has a gym/recreation center with three rock-climbing walls and a large lap pool. The weather is great and I love not having to worry about the cold.
Student Population:
Use College Navigator to answer these questions.
a. Discuss the student population and demographic. How will it encourage your personal development and college success?
b. What is the student to faculty ratio?
c. Are you comfortable with the student population and student to faculty ratio? Explain.
202,000 students attend FFU and there is a mixture of races. Most students are around my age (18-24) and take classes full time. This is a good fit for me since I will meet a variety of people.
52:1
The student to faculty ratio is something I am not comfortable with since the number of students in most classes will be large. I am not familiar with learning in a situation like this and it makes me cautious about selecting FFU.
☐ ☒
1,298 students attend SSU and 68% are Klingon. The students are mostly part time and tend to be older. I think I will make new friends and have to step out of my comfort zone, but this will be good.
8:1
The student to faculty ratio is even better than what I am used to. I think I will be able to work closely with my professors and really benefit from my classes.

7. Are you assigned an advisor? (Hint: look at your academic profile in Atlas under the Courses tab) If so, who? If not, who would you contact and/or where would you go on campus for academic advising? Yes, Walt Wicker is my Basketweaving advisor.
8. Explain what requirements must be met for admission to the program:
a. Application deadlines? Application deadline is April 1.
b. GPA or specific grade requirements? A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for admission.
c. Does your program require a portfolio, audition, interview, etc. Yes, I have to submit samples of my work.
d. College level foreign language requirement? Yes, one semester of college-level foreign language.
e. Orientations? No orientations for the Basketweaving program.
f. Other? I have to pay a $500 supplies fee prior to admission to the Basketweaving program.
9. Does your degree program have Common Program Prerequisites? If so, please list them. Yes, BSW 1000 and BSW 1020 must be completed with a B or better.
10. What is the length of time needed to complete your degree in terms at Valencia; also state the anticipated term and year that you will graduate Valencia. My degree will take 7 terms and I will complete my AA degree in Fall 2021.
11. Explain why you selected a particular school and the reasons you gave it the advantage over the other institution. Provide specific rationale for your choice using the information from your research. Include specific facts that demonstrate you have thought critically about the institution you have selected. Detail your action plan to get accepted into your desired program.
I selected Fictional Florida University for my Bachelors of Arts degree in Basketweaving because it has one of the best programs in the nation. The opportunity to intern during my senior year and to study abroad in Europe would contribute greatly to my skills in this field. I am concerned about the size of my classes because of the student to faculty ratio but I will make sure to visit my professors during office hours and use the resources available on campus so I can do well in my courses. I think I will make new friends in my classes and the International Basketweavers Association chapter. I can become involved with the chapter and possibly even hold a leadership position. I can also get involved with the ukulele club and join a bowling team. The cost of FFU tuition is slightly higher than SSU and I will incur the additional expense of housing but I think that it will be worth it because in the end I will have better opportunities to secure a job after graduation. My action plan to get accepted into the Basketweaving program at FFU is to mix in my Common Program Prerequisites like BSW 1000 and BSW 1020 with my other classes so I can start to develop my skills now. I have to earn at minimum of a B in the BSW courses and I believe I can do that if I attend class, complete the projects, and use my professors as a resource. The projects from these classes could end up being part of the samples I have to submit for admission to the program if I do my best work. I will have to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA to be accepted into the program so I will use resources like tutoring and study groups to keep my grades up. I need to take a foreign language class for admission to the program but since I did not take foreign language classes in high school I have to take two semesters for my AA degree. I will start to save the $500 supply fee that is part of admission to make it more manageable. If I save $25 each month, I will have enough to cover the fee. I will need to apply to the program by April 1 so I can start in January 2022 after I finish my AA in Fall 2021. Finally, I know that I should check in with my advisor, Mr. Wicker, each semester to talk about my classes and the program.

Final Story Project Planning Document
Instructions: For the Final Story Project assignment, you are required to present where you will be eight to ten years from now. In the spaces below, provide detailed responses to the prompts. Your responses are key points to address in your presentation and will be helpful in developing your Final Story Project.
Creativity/Originality
1. What is the setting for your presentation?
Conference room at The Hershey Company in Hershey, PA.
2. Who is your audience?
Managing officers and human resources staff of The Hershey Company; individuals who are responsible for the hiring process.
3. Why are we (the audience) listening to your story?
I am in the final round of the interview process for a position in logistics management at The Hershey Company. I have completed two previous interviews, one on the phone and the other with an individual who would be my supervisor. I believe going into this interview as the top choice for the logistics manager for the American markets.
4. What type of visual aids/media will you use in your presentation? Select all that apply.
☒ PowerPoint Presentation
☐ Video
☐ Other (if selected, please list what will be used): Click here to enter text.
☐ None
5. List any props you will use to assist with telling your story.
Planner, tablet, pen.
6. Describe the attire you will wear for your presentation.
Business dress (jacket, blouse/shirt, pants, dress shoes).
Purpose
7. What is your purpose? State your purpose statement.
My purpose is to use my skills and strengths to identify challenges I encounter through life and develop creative solutions that lead to positive outcomes.
8. Explain how you came to understand your purpose.
Identifying my purpose has been an ongoing struggle because I continually hear I should “be happy” or “make a lot of money.” By completing the My Plan activities and StrengthsQuest I realized that if I really find my purpose I will be happy. I also realized that just because I have loads of money I won’t necessarily want to get up every morning to deal with job I hate. I know that when there is a problem to be solved, I often come up with solutions that others don’t see after I have time to think things over. I like to complete logic problems and solve riddles; I can lose track of time when completing a Sudoku puzzle. I started to recognize after talking about purpose in the NSE course that my love for being logical and solving problems could be my purpose.
9. Explain how your purpose is related to your values, goals, interests, and/or strengths.
My purpose is strongly linked to my analytical strength. I always knew that I thought about a majority of things in my life by evaluating all of the information I had available. I know that in relationships with family and friends I sometimes “overthink” things but this time is important for me to really understand the full situation and be able to help others. The My Plan interest inventory provided results that I am investigating, enterprising, and realistic. These three qualities really relate to my purpose: I want to engage with others and identify problems, try to solve the problems creatively, and help everyone around me be happy.
10. Explain how your purpose is related to your career goals.
My purpose relates to my career goals because logistics management is a daily challenge in problem solving. I read the job description for logistics management and got excited. My purpose relates to my career goals because I will be able to use information to help the company that hires me and solve problems. Problems are a key part of my purpose and I recognize that I don’t run from them. I look at problems like a puzzle and like to solve them.
Career Pathway
11. During your presentation what is your career?
Logistics Manager/Supply Chain Manager
12. During the final semesters in college and following graduation from college, what was your career pathway? Provide details as to certifications, licensures, internships, and promotions that occurred.
While completing my bachelor’s degree at Florida Polytechnic University I was able to complete an internship with Siemens related to transportation and logistics for their power and gas division.
I was encouraged by my professors and colleagues at Siemens to join the American Society of Transportation and Logistics (AST&L). Membership in AST&L allowed me to gain certifications in my field immediately following graduation. I received certification as a Global Logistics Associate which helped me gain employment following graduation.
Following completion of my bachelor’s degree at FPU in 2019 I joined Coca-Cola as a transportation planner at the Auburndale, FL plant.
While working for Coca-Cola I completed my Master’s degree in Supply Chain Management in 2021 at Penn State through their online world campus.
I was promoted to the transportation planning manager position of the southeast U.S. in 2022.
I completed additional certification with AST&L: Professional Designation in Logistics and Supply Chain Management in 2023, and Certified in Transportation and Logistics in 2024.
I have actively attended conferences related to logistics management and supply chain management.
13. Describe your profession including job duties and daily routines. Include details and vocabulary that are unique to this career.
Logistics managers are responsible for planning and coordinating the movement of inventory from suppliers to production facilities to vendors.
My daily schedule involves time on the computer tracking materials and researching information about numerous variables that can impact the price and availability of materials.
Meetings with other top managers like financial officers and executive officers happen on a regular basis.
In addition, I need to attend sales meetings with suppliers and vendors to ensure that a quality product is delivered from both sides of the production process.
14. Explain the general workforce skills that are needed for your profession. Discuss what skills are needed to perform your job.
Organization, computer skills, and the ability to work under stress are important in my job. People skills are also important; I am not dealing directly with the “customer” who will buy our product but my co-workers, vendors, and suppliers need to have clear communication from me.
Academic Pathway
15. During the presentation, what degree(s) will you have completed? Include degrees from Valencia and transfer institutions, if applicable. Also include majors.
I will have completed my associate in arts degree from Valencia College, my bachelors of science in logistics management from Florida Polytechnic University, and my master’s degree from Penn State’s College of Business in Supply Chain Management.
16. Outline the overall cost of your education and the sources for funding your degree(s). Provide specific names of grants, loans, or scholarships.
Undergraduate Degrees
Valencia: 60 credits x $103.06 = $6,183.60
FL Poly: 60 credits x $165 = $9,900
Total cost of my undergraduate tuition: $16,083.60***
*** (does not include books, transportation, housing, etc.)
Pell Grant: $5,775 x 4 years = $23,100
I will have sufficient funds if I maintain satisfactory academic progress to pay for my undergraduate tuition. I will have approximately $7,017 that I can apply to books ($500 x 10 semester = $5,000). I plan on living at home while I attend Valencia and Florida Polytechnic so I will contribute the remaining amount ($2,000+) to household expenses. By living at home I will save a substantial amount of money when compared to living on campus at Florida Poly. The disadvantage is that I will have to commute approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes each day of classes and I will miss being part of the on-campus activities.
I plan on working a part-time job while at Valencia and I estimate that I will be able to pay my transportation costs (insurance, fuel, vehicle maintenance) from those paychecks. I average 22 hours a week and make around $550 each month after taxes and withholdings. I plan on applying for scholarships through the Valencia Foundation and Florida Polytechnic. Florida Poly currently offers to transfer students the Poly Scholarship, Provost’s Scholarship and President’s Scholarship that range from $1,000 to $16,000. The scholarships are tied to GPA and course completion so I will focus on keeping the highest GPA possible to qualify for financial assistance when I transfer. Any scholarship awards will be used to pay for my tuition and books, and my Pell Grant award will then be saved to help pay for my graduate degree.
Graduate Degree
Penn State: 30 credits x $975 = $29,250 *** (program is completely online)
*** does not include books, transportation, housing, etc.
I will be working full-time while completing my master’s degree so I plan on using a tuition installment plan to break my tuition expenses into monthly payments. If that is not an option I will take out a loan to pay for the cost of my graduate degree. I will research student loans and select one that has the lowest interest rates. I will also focus on paying back the loan early by making additional payments whenever my income allows. I realize that I am paying for the convenience of completing this degree online while still working full-time. I rationalize that since I am going to be fresh out of college and not used to the slight increase in income from my full-time job, I will be able to better at saving for my graduate program expenses.
17. What steps did you take to ensure that you successfully complete your degree(s)? Include Valencia resources, including people, places, and course lessons, which you utilized for academic success and career planning.
I used the Career Center to evaluate majors that were related to business; I knew I wanted to work in an office environment but did not want to major in business administration, marketing, or accounting.
The My Plan assessment in LifeMap was helpful to learn more about myself and good career matches. When I first saw my results I did not think many were good matches for me but once I took time to read though details about the careers I could see how some were perfect choices for me.
I made use of the Advising Center when selecting courses to be sure that my class schedule aligned with my intended major. I would often see the first available advisor, but my favorite was Mr. Velez because he would take time to ask me questions about my current classes before jumping into the classes for the next term. He really took interest in my success as a student and that motivated me to continue to work hard. I took time to visit the Advising Center at least once each term to ensure my course selections prior to registration were on target.
The tutoring services were helpful for my math courses and it became a routine that I visited weekly to review homework and prep for quizzes and tests.
I attended a Skillshop about interviews and resumes which provided tips that helped me prepare for entry into the workforce. I had created a resume in high school but the information I learned in the Skillshop was more on target with what I will need in the business world.
My OST 1335C Business Communication course was an initial course that I completed which proved beneficial each semester. I knew that communicating clearly, whether in writing or verbally, would be important for my future job. The course actually taught me skills I used in future courses and during my internships.
18. In the space below, provide a detailed outline of how you plan to organize the information in your presentation. Remember, your final presentation should be approximately 5-8 minutes in length.
· I will begin by thanking the audience (hiring committee at The Hershey Company) for inviting me back for another opportunity to talk to them about my qualifications for the role as Logistics Manager.
· I will say that I know they asked me to come prepared with a quick biography to share with them about why I feel I would be a good addition to the “Hershey Family.” PowerPoint will be used to share images related to main topics.
· I will share information about my purpose (purpose statement) and my strengths (highlighting analytical and focus).
· Next, I will mention my initial desire to work in a business environment and how I came to recognize my unique skillset for logistics managements (NSE course using My Plan, conducting career interview, using StrengthsQuest to better understand and develop my strengths).
· I will discuss my educational path at Valencia, FL Poly, and Penn State, making sure to highlight internship experience.
· I will discuss my involvement in professional organizations, especially AST&L.
· My work experience with Siemens and Coca-Cola will be shared and then I will open the floor to questions from the hiring committee.

Assignment/Assignment-2/Final Story Project Directions Revised for Fall 19 UPDATED 6.28.19 x
Final Exam: Final Story Project
Total Points: XXXXX | SUBMISSION DUE DATE: XXXXXX
Overview
Throughout the semester you have had the opportunity to identify your purpose, explore your career, and plan for your education here at Valencia and beyond. You have taken a variety of assessments that offered insight into your strengths, values, interests, learning, and student strategies. You have also learned about Valencia’s valuable resources that will help you navigate your way through college and successfully accomplish your ultimate purpose in life. Now it is time to share what you have learned by telling a story.
Imagine that it is eight to ten years from now. You have already completed your education and you are currently working in your dream career. You are looking back on your journey and telling your story while incorporating what you have learned in this course. You can choose who you will be sharing your story with and the manner in which you tell your story, but it must be delivered in class during your final exam.
Creativity and forward thinking are extremely important for this project. Below are a couple of examples of ways a story could be told. Note: You do not have to tell your story in any of the following ways, these are only examples.
· You are talking to your high school coach/mentor who believed in you and now you want to let him or her see where you are today.
· You are being interviewed on the news because you ________________.
· You are mentoring a new employee/student who wants to know how you got to where you are today.
The ideas are endless, so think about your audience and bring the background, setting, and overall presentation to life. Be creative with how you share your story. Plan your presentation and ensure that delivery techniques (posture, gesture, eye contact, and vocal expressiveness) help to convey the meaning of your final presentation.
Presentation Instructions
Your presentation must be 5-8 minutes. You must submit a copy of the presentation.
The following elements must be included:
Content/Organization
Your story should be told in a creative, realistic way. The audience should be able to clearly identify the setting and background for your presentation. You should also use visual aids, props, and/or attire that is relevant to the setting and story.
You should adhere to the time limit (5-8 minutes) for your presentation.
You should be prepared for your presentation and if you incorporate media it should be well-produced.
Language/Delivery
You should be prepared and confident when speaking.
You should use language/vocabulary that aligns with your future path.
Personal purpose
Discuss your personal purpose statement (from your purpose paper). Your presentation should include:
· A rationale for your personal purpose statement
· A clear connection between your values, interests, strengths or goals (from the assessments taken in the course)
· An explanation of how the personal purpose statement helped you choose your career
Academic pathway
Discuss the path you took to complete your education. Your presentation should include:
· The degree you pursued at Valencia and your transfer institution (if applicable)
· A review of how much it cost you to complete your associate’s and bachelor’s degree (if applicable) and how you paid for your education (for example: grants, loans, scholarships, personal budget)
· Information about the resources (for example: people, places, course lessons) you used at Valencia to help you be successful and/or develop your education plan
Career pathway
Discuss the path you took to get to your career of choice. Your presentation should include:
· The steps you took after completing your degree to secure your career (internships, certifications, licensures, etc.)
· A detailed description of your profession (what do you do?)
· A discussion of general workforce skills (what skills are needed to do what you do?)
Review the Final Story Project Rubric to gain a better understanding of how you will be assessed on your final exam.
