REQUIREMENTS:
1. Assignments:
 Exegetical Paper: The students will be required to write a 10-12 page paper from
a passage of 1st Corinthians 12-13. Class notes on these chapters will be the
foundation of the paper with the student adding to it from a minimum of seven
sources (library hard copies) appropriately footnoted. This entire paper will be
formatted according to Turabian 7th Edition. The content of this paper will
include historical background, literary context, biblical theology, application and
bibliography. The paper will be due on Monday, May 2, 2011.

Paper Due Date Grading: The paper is due at the beginning of class on Monday,
May 2, 2011. There are no exceptions. Extensions will only be granted for the
following four reasons: 1) hospitalization for illness. A doctor’s note confirming
such is required; 2) extended serious illness that prevents a student from attending
class. This requires a doctor’s note and signature of verification from the
student’s Resident Director; 3) funerals or family emergencies granted as an
approved absence by the Academic Dean and Dean of Students; 4) schoolapproved activities. If the student meets one of these exceptions, a “Request for
Extension Form” must be filled out. The form can be obtained from the Office of
Admissions or the Office of the Academic Dean. If your paper is turned in after
attendance is taken on May 2, you will receive an automatic point deduction of
five (5) points. For each twenty-four hour period (this includes Saturday’s,
Sunday’s and school breaks) the paper is not turned in, there will be a forfeiture of
five (5) points from the total points. If the paper is not turned in within five
twenty-four hour periods after the due date and time, an automatic score of zero
(0) will be entered for the grade with no chance of making up the paper/grade. If

POLICIES
Attendance: Students are expected to attend all class periods. Please be aware that absences are
granted for illness, personal matters, or for emergencies. It is important for students to keep
track of their own absences and late arrivals carefully. Please see the Student Handbook for the
Absence Policy. There will be a very short break mid-class, students are expected to remain in
class at other times except for medical reasons.
If a student arrives late to class it is their responsibility to inform the teacher after class that they
are present. Otherwise they may be marked absent for the class. It is a good idea to date your
notes each class in case attendance discrepancies should arise.
In order to be considered present in class, students must present themselves in an appropriate
manner, following the guidelines of the Student Handbook.
Assignments: All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date. All others will
be considered late. Assignments should be written in Turabian format.

All late assignments are to be turned into the instructor’s office, not placed in campus mail.
There are no exceptions to this policy unless mandated by the office of the Academic Dean.
Examinations: Any missed exam may be made up if the exam was missed due to illness or other
excused absence (see Student Handbook). A make-up exam will also be allowed if the
circumstances are urgent and approved by the instructor prior to the exam.
Extension and Late Paper Policy: See above “Paper Due Date Grading”
Plagiarism: A student who submits written material as his/her own work which has been copied
in whole or in part from another person’s work without acknowledgement is guilty of plagiarism.
Material, whether published or unpublished, copied from another
writer, must be identified by the use of quotation marks and documentation with specific citation
of the source. Paraphrased material must likewise be attributed to the origin author.
Copying another student’s paper, with or without permission, or using his/her ideas with only
minimal reworking, is plagiarism, as is the copying from printed books and magazines without
giving credit to the original source. Any student who submits a plagiarized paper or who permits
another person to
copy his/her work is subject to any of the following actions: a grade of “zero” or “F” for the
work, failure in or expulsion from the class, being reported for further disciplinary action.
Cheating: A student who engages in dishonest behavior such as: using unauthorized notes or
material when taking an examination, copying answers to examination questions, or engaging in
securing unauthorized copies of examination questions (including aiding another person in doing
so), is subject to the action or penalty indicated above. Copying another person’s class work
and/or homework and submitting it as one’s own, or having another person perform an
assignment and submitting it as having originated from themselves personally is guilty of
plagiarism—which is cheating. Such students will therefore be subject to the above discipline.
Faculty members are to submit all such cases on the appropriate “Plagiarism Form” to the Office
of the Dean of Academics.
