INTR 532 Class Assignments

1. Reading and Class Preparation Questions: Readings are to be completed before class each week according to the Reading Report, which is due on at the start of the final exam period.

To facilitate discussion on the readings, journal one important idea, thought, statement, or question you have concerning the text book readings when they are assigned. Bring this to class and be ready to discuss it.

Concerning the Class Notes: As an experiment this semester I am providing the slide presentations used in class discussion as the course notes. Look them over carefully before class, thinking through the issues they raise and what questions you might bring to class as a result of what you see.

Concerning the Reading Report: You will be given full credit for everything read on time, 50% credit for everything read late. The questions will be worth 20% of your reading grade. You do not have to ask the questions in class to receive credit, but do bring them to class. On the reading report, simply circle the "Y" if you have written the question down before class for that week, or the "N" if you have not.  

2. Case Studies: We will examine three case studies during the term. For each case study, follow the guidelines give out and discussed in class (instructions).

i. Write a 1000 word report (roughly 3 pages) due Thursday April 8, at the start of class using the three sections described in the Case Studies handout to summarize what you learned in each area. (You will not turn in the worksheets.)

ii. On the top of the report give yourself a number grade for your preparation for each case study (this will count for 25% of your Case Study grade).

iii. Please keep your reflection in 1st person; I will be looking for evidence that you know both your weaknesses and strengths and your willingness to share those in your reflection.

4. Group Evangelism/Discipleship Method Research Project (due at the start of class on Thursday, April 27): The project consists of three separate parts; click here for a detailed description.

5. Final Examination: The final exam will be a take home exam to due in class at the start of the final examination period. I will give instructions for the exam during the second quad.
