INTERNET CLASS
    1. You MUST communicate with the instructor once a week via
      email Info@MinistryServer.com  | waughr@cbc.cc.tx.us
      voice phone - Number given on request
      ICQ # 741576 (I DO NOT accept random authorizations)
    2. When corresponding with the instructor, it is a GOOD PRACTICE to send email to several accounts:
      Info@MinistryServer.com

      waughr@cbc.cc.tx.us
    3. I will assume and may  ask for your statement that you have personally done the assignments. The temptation to "get assistance" needs to be overcome.
    4. Since you are not attending a classroom setting, I have prepared the lessons to require minimum 4 hours per week.
    5. The class is complete when you complete all required assignments. See Grade Calculation

PURPOSE AND GOALS FOR COURSE

By the end of the Internet Semester, the student will demonstrate his/her knowledge and understanding by obtaining a minimum of 70% competency level of the stated performance/learning objectives. The class will introduce and analyze the historical and literary backgrounds of the books of the New Testament. The successful student will then assimilate the theme, background, and content of the books of the New Testament in a useable form.

  2. Much of the class will be self directed learning. The lessons will guide you through various ideas, tasks, and assignments.
  3. You will be encouraged to use other commentaries resource material, other than the text.

GRADING

  1. Your final grade will be composed of grades you make on all assignments. See Grade Calculation Sheet
  2. PLEASE NOTE, the grading scale and percent weight given to each assignment.
  3. This is a college level course. You must not try to get by with as little as possible.
  4. 20% will be deducted for each Internet Week past the due date of ANY work assigned.
  5. ALL assignments are DUE by MIDNIGHT Sunday of the week they are due. I realize there may be problems with computers, the net, and email. HOWEVER, you are still responsible. Complete the tasks early to minimize the problems of internet reliability.

COURSE GRADING SCALE:

Letter grade is determined by the percent completed out of the total points required
90%  - 100% = A | 80% - 89% = B | 70% - 79% = C | 60% - 69% = D | Below 60% = F
