Because of this structure, this web-based course is9
more reading and writing intensive than traditional classroom courses. Rigorous study ofthe deep things of God can be a rewarding experience for anyone who participates in it,but it also calls for extra diligence and integrity in completing the work. This reality doesnot mean that a web-based course cannot be successful in equipping you, the student, foreffective, God-honoring ministry. It simply means utilizing a different strategy. Internetcourses allow room for independent learners to thrive—to work at a responsible pace, toengage in student-led discussions, and to take ownership of the learning of coursecontent. Note that your instructors are praying for your success.Course ScheduleNote: Summer courses are 1/2 the duration of a regular semester. We will cover two units perweek, except for the last week.
