Attendance: It is expected that students will attend each class session. There may be times when the student will miss class due to illness or other emergencies. In these cases please contact the professor by as soon as possible, ideally before the class session if possible. Students should not miss more than one class, except for extreme circumstances. Arriving to class 3 times after the starting time will equal one class absence. 2. Class Preparation: Students are expected to prepare for each session by reading the assigned pages on time as indicated in the course schedule. This includes the biblical texts, for which prior reading does not substitute. 3. Quizzes: Students will have weekly take home quizzes consisting of multiple choice, fill in the blank, and short answer questions. You may not use course materials. 4. Participation: Students are expected to contribute to class discussions on a regular basis. 5. Papers: Students will write three short papers.

Papers must include summary and evaluation of the three authors in Halton, ed., Genesis: History, Fiction, or Neither? Due end of week 3. (b) A 4-page paper on the role and purpose of the Mosaic Law in the life and faith of Israel. What does the Old Testament itself say about the purpose of the law for Israel? How does it relate to God s purpose in electing Israel? Further instructions will be distributed in class. Due end of week 9. (c) A 3-page paper on the role and purpose of the Mosaic Law in the life and faith of the church. How does the New Testament understand the continuing relevance of the law? Due end of week 10. 2

Assignments completed late will be accepted only on permission of the instructor and are subject to a penalty in grade. No assignments can be completed after the last day of the quarter without prior permission from the professor for an Incomplete. Such permission will not be granted unless the student can show good reason why he or she was prevented, beyond his or her control, from (unforeseeably) completing the assignment on time. Examples are serious illness or a death in the family. Difficulties such as being too busy, computer problems, and not anticipating the time required to manage job, family, and school responsibilities are not grounds for an Incomplete.

Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society, PLAGIARISM Plagiarism is the act of passing off as one s own the words or ideas of someone else without providing proper acknowledgment or documentation. Plagiarism may include, but is not limited to, the following: Submitting as one s own material copied, borrowed, or purchased from some other source. This includes, but is not limited to, downloading term papers from the internet, 10

11 purchasing a paper from a term paper mill, reproducing parts or all of an article or book section, copying another student s paper, and so on. Copying verbatim or taking ideas from a source without providing documentation (i.e., footnote or quotation marks). Copying verbatim or taking ideas from a source and providing fraudulent or misleading documentation. Copying verbatim from a source without using quotation marks or a block quotation. When copied material is not properly identified with quotation marks, readers are led to believe that the material is the writer s own words, when in fact it is someone else s, which is the essence of plagiarism. Providing a footnote after copied material without using quotation marks is not adequate documentation and constitutes plagiarism. Paraphrasing material that is too close to the original, whether documented properly or not. A paraphrase is unacceptable if it merely changes a few words or transposes phrases or sentences in the original source, but retains the bulk of the text as it originally appeared. Since plagiarism is a form of claiming for ourselves what belongs to another, it constitutes an infringement on someone else s intellectual property and is a form of stealing. It is a very serious violation of Christian ethics and raises profound questions about fitness for Christian ministry. The seminary takes these matters extremely seriously and will take disciplinary action against those who engage in plagiarism. It is sometimes difficult to know whether or how to acknowledge and document certain kinds of material. When in doubt, consult Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 8th ed., 2013, especially those sections dealing with using quotations and footnotes. Students are expected to know and follow the guidelines in Turabian. Ignorance of them is no excuse. POLICIES FOR ALL MASTERS CLASSES NOTE: All communications from the seminary will go to your seminary account. Contact All Covered at (877) if you need help forwarding your seminary address to your personal address. As a seminary community we hold integrity/hospitality as core values. Individuals are able to do their best work and thinking when their peers are fully present and engaged. We expect each person to both participate in class and carefully listen to others with the belief that everyone s contribution is equally important. Therefore, the following policies have been established in order to provide clarity in regard to attendance expectations and relationships in the classroom. 11

12 Diploma/Certificate Student Course Requirements The amount of work required of Diploma/Certificate students will be at the discretion of the professor. Students will be responsible for contacting the professor about what assignments are required. Class Attendance Policy It is expected that students will attend and participate in all class sessions. Failure to attend at least 80% of class sessions is grounds for automatic failure. A professor may set other more strict attendance expectations for a given course. Students are always expected to communicate with a professor in advance if they will be absent. Attendance expectations are higher for online, intensive courses, and integrative seminar (see syllabus for specific requirements). Class Tardiness Policy The third time a student is late to the start of class, it will be counted as a class absence. It is also expected that students will return from a break by the time specified by the professor. Late Work Policy If a student cannot complete the work for a course by the due date listed on the syllabus, they must submit a Request for a Grade of Incomplete form to the Registrar by 4:30 of the last day of the term. The form must be signed by the instructor and Dean of Students. The professor may set stipulations and grade reductions. In the absence of a formal request form, the student will receive a grade based upon work completed by the last day of the term. Turabian Format All papers, including footnotes and bibliography, must be submitted in the correct format according to Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 8 th ed., Plagiarism Plagiarism is the act of passing off as one s own the words or ideas of someone else without providing proper acknowledgement or documentation. See the Academic Honesty Policy in the Seminary Catalog for more information on plagiarism and how to avoid it. Electronic Format Unless otherwise specified by the professor, all work submitted electronically must be in a Word document format (.doc,.docx). Technology Use in the Classroom Unless it is directly tied to note-taking or research for the class, students are expected to refrain from using cell phones, laptops, or other electronic devices during class. Course Evaluation in Moodle Students must complete an online course evaluation using the seminary Moodle system at The evaluation will be open at the end of the course. If you need assistance connecting to Moodle or accessing the evaluation, please send an to moodlehelp@seminary.edu. 12
