It will also assist students in analyzing the claims of different worldviews, including Christianity, and will emphasize the importance and means of forming a Christian worldview which integrates faith and life. Students will consider the meaning, truth claims, and relevance of creation and evolution, the origin of life, sin and evil, different offers of salvation, and various beliefs about how to live one s life in the contemporary world. As they read, students will relate the topics of the course to their particular setting in Africa as well as to the larger global context of today s world. 2.

Students dropping below the minimum will not be allowed to sit the exam without special permission from their head of department, regardless of whether the coursework requirement has been met. Coursework Requirement: UCU adheres to a continuous assessment policy, which emphasizes an equivalent value of coursework and exams. Students failing to submit their coursework, or to achieve a minimum of 17.5 points out of 50 (=35%), will not be allowed to sit the exam, regardless of whether the attendance requirement has been met. Weekly Assignments & Test The course will include a 2 hour lecture each week, followed by a 2 hour small group tutorial / discussion on the topic. Students are expected to attend both, and should be prepared to discuss the assigned work for the day, having completed readings and FS 2102: Understanding Worldviews 3
4 assignments before the tutorial session so that everyone is prepared to raise questions and discuss the topic of the week. A total of 5 assignments is required, each valued at 5 points, plus one test also worth 5 points. If you choose to turn in more than 5, your lowest marks will be dropped and the best 5 retained. Short Essay on the Relevance of the Christian World View Students will write a 3-page (~750 word) paper examining the relevance of the Christian worldview to their chosen profession or academic discipline. (ie. to business, mass communication, law, social work, education, etc.) Tutors are free to change the emphasis of this essay in a given semester. (The book by Dockery & Thornbury will be especially helpful. See attached bibliography.) Avoid plagiarism! A Christian worldview requires honesty and integrity in all your work. Do your own work, and don t copy from others. This shows self-respect and honours God, who gave you the gifts of intelligence and the ability to reason. Plagiarism will receive a zero mark and will be referred to the appropriate departmental authority. 5. Assessment Criteria 30% Weekly Assignments & Test 10% Short Essay on the Relevance of the Christian World View 5% Tutorial Group Attendance 5% Tutorial Group Participation 50% Exam 6. Faith in Teaching Faith is integrated into the Worldviews course throughout, in both content and application. The course does not presume a Christian faith, but begins from the philosophical standpoint that each person is a seeker of Truth. Other worldviews are presented as fairly and accurately as possible, and together with the Christian worldview, are assessed for their ability to explain who we are, what is wrong with the world, provide a solution, and give sufficient answers to the deepest philosophical questions of life and purpose. The hope is that students will either strengthen their faith with deeper knowledge of the implications of a broader Christian worldview, or discover for the first time that the CWV offers the answers they are seeking in life. In this sense the course intends to be transformational, not merely content based. Emphasis shifts in the latter third of the course to helping students apply the Christian worldview to universal aspects of life rather than mere religious practice. 7.
