The Professor reserves the right to make substitutions, deletions, or additions to the schedule of readings. 4. REQUIRED READINGS and RESOURCES: A. Books to Purchase The Holy Bible, Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. San Francisco: Ignatius, You are welcome to use another version of the Bible, so long as it contains all books in the Catholic canon of Scripture. Boadt, Lawrence. Reading the Old Testament: An Introduction. 2 nd ed. New York: Paulist Press, B. Readings available Online or Posted on Populi Dei Verbum. Council of Trent. Session 13: Decree Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. 11 October Brown, An Introduction to the New Testament, selections. 5. BIBLICAL REFERENCES: CITATION AND INTERPRETATION Inability to interpret the assignments is not an acceptable excuse for omitting readings. Take into account the following guidelines, and, if you are having difficulty, consult the Instructor or someone else who is familiar with biblical references: In the front matter of most Bibles is a list of abbreviations indicating the books to which they refer and the page numbers on which they can be found. Colons [ : ] are only used between chapter and verse numbers. Dashes [ - ] indicate that you must read all verses between and including those indicated on either side of the dash. Commas [, ] indicate separate reading passages within the same biblical book. Semicolons [ ; ] separate reading passages of different books or chapters within the same book. In the text of any paper or discussion board posting, place references to biblical passages in parentheses, which closing punctuation after the closing parenthesis. Spell out the name of the book of the Bible entirely, or use the abbreviations for biblical books at the front of your Bible. For example, you may cite the sixteenth chapter of Genesis, verses 1 through 3, as (Genesis 16:1-3) or (Gn 16:1-3). When citing multiple passages, list the abbreviated title of each distinct biblical book followed by the chapter number and colon, with all verses in that chapter separated by a comma and space. A semicolon should separate references to subsequent chapters or books. Do not include the conjunction and or an ampersand (&) before the last citation. List passages in canonical and numerical order, as in the following example: (Mt 2:3; 3:4 6; 4:3, 7; Lk 3:6, 8; 12:2, 5; Acts 15:1 5; Rom 1:8 12). 13

14 6. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Discussion Postings: 50% Quizzes: 50% A. Readings Read the assigned readings listed on the Schedule of Topics below. They will also be listed with links and files as necessary on Populi, in the Lessons folder for each topic. Read also any Study Notes provided in the Lessons folder for the topic, and review the PowerPoint Presentations that may be linked there. All discussion board postings and quizzes are directly based upon the assigned readings of the topic and other materials that are Posted in the topical Lessons folder (Study Notes and Power Point Presentations). B. Discussion Board Postings Post on the Discussion forum of Populi at least two (2) times for each Topic. NOTE: Each and every post MUST contain at least one cited reference or quotation to Sacred Scripture or another assigned reading for the Topic. You will not receive full credit for any posts that do not contain a reference to the assigned materials. First, post at least one answer to one of the discussion prompts posted in the Lessons folder. Discussion prompts are questions or topics proposed for the purposes of basing our conversations on the topic s materials. Complete answers require a minimum of one well-structured paragraph. o Since this course does not require any research papers, on occasion discussion prompts may require research beyond the assigned readings for the course. The instructions on Populi will clearly indicate when this is expected. Second, post at least one response to the entries of your classmates. Responses to classmates can provide brief follow-up questions, make additional points, or politely offer alternative responses. Responses do not need to be more than one or two sentences. To repeat: each of your posts should include at least one reference to or quotation from one of the assigned readings for the topic. Cite your sources in the following manner: o Cite passages from Sacred Scripture as they are cited in your study notes and as described in Section 4 above, titled Scriptural References: Citation and Interpretation. o Cite passages from Boadt as parentheticals with the author s name and a page numbers at the end of a sentence, like this: (Boadt, p. 39). 14

15 o Cite passages from the Second Vatican Council according to the name of the document and the section number in parentheticals at the end of the sentence, like this: (Dei Verbum, sec. 9). You are invited but not required to continue following the class discussion and to make further contributions after your two required postings. Both your answer and your response must be posted by 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the week during which the Topic is assigned. It is highly recommended, however, that answers be posted at least several days before the due date; this provides more opportunity for student interaction. Late postings without excuse will not receive any credit. o Note that Dr Van Slyke allows 8 days for each week. For this class, then, the last day of the week is counted as the same Monday that the next week begins. For example, if week 3 begins on Monday February 3 rd, then the final day for posting materials and taking the quiz for Week 3 is Monday February 10 th (by 11:59 p.m.). Monday February 10 th is also considered as the first day of Week 4. See the HACS Grading Criteria for Online Discussions. 7. SUGGESTED READINGS and RESOURCES A.

DISABILITIES ACCOMMODATIONS POLICY Holy Apostles College & Seminary is committed to the goal of achieving equal educational opportunities and full participation in higher education for persons with disabilities who qualify for admission to the College. Students enrolled in online courses who have documented disabilities requiring special accommodations should contact Bob Mish, the Director of Online Student Affairs, at rmish@holyapostles.edu or In all cases, reasonable accommodations will be made to ensure that all students with disabilities have access to course materials in a mode in which they can receive them. Students who have technological limitations (e.g., slow Internet connection speeds in convents) are asked to notify their instructors the first week of class for alternative means of delivery. 17

18 10. ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY Students at Holy Apostles College & Seminary are expected to practice academic honesty. Avoiding Plagiarism In its broadest sense, plagiarism is using someone else's work or ideas, presented or claimed as your own. At this stage in your academic career, you should be fully conscious of what it means to plagiarize. This is an inherently unethical activity because it entails the uncredited use of someone else's expression of ideas for another's personal advancement; that is, it entails the use of a person merely as a means to another person s ends. Students, where applicable: Should identify the title, author, page number/webpage address, and publication date of works when directly quoting small portions of texts, articles, interviews, or websites. Students should not copy more than two paragraphs from any source as a major component of papers or projects. Should appropriately identify the source of information when paraphrasing (restating) ideas from texts, interviews, articles, or websites. Should follow the Holy Apostles College & Seminary Stylesheet (available on the Online Writing Lab s website at Consequences of Academic Dishonesty: Because of the nature of this class, academic dishonesty is taken very seriously. Students participating in academic dishonesty may be removed from the course and from the program. 11. ATTENDANCE POLICY You are expected to login several times during each week. Because this class is being taught in a technology-mediated forum, it is important to actively participate each week in the course. In a traditional classroom setting for a 3-credit course, students would be required, per the federal standards, to be in class three 50-minute sessions (or 2.5 hours a week) and prepare for class discussions six 50-minute sessions (or 5 hours) a week. Expect to devote at least nine 50-minute sessions (or 7.5 quality hours) a week to this course. A failure on the student s part to actively participate in the life of the course may result in a reduction of the final grade. 12. INCOMPLETE POLICY An Incomplete is a temporary grade assigned at the discretion of the faculty member. It is typically allowed in situations in which the student has satisfactorily completed major components of the course and has the ability to finish the remaining work without reenrolling, but has encountered extenuating circumstances, such as illness, that prevent his or her doing so prior to the last day of class. 18

19 To request an incomplete, distance-learning students must first download a copy of the Incomplete Request Form. This document is located within the Shared folder of the Files tab in Populi. Secondly, students must fill in any necessary information directly within the PDF document. Lastly, students must send their form to their professor via for approval. Approval should be understood as the professor responding to the student s in favor of granting the Incomplete status of the student. Students receiving an Incomplete must submit the missing course work by the end of the sixth week following the semester in which they were enrolled. An incomplete grade (I) automatically turns into the grade of F if the course work is not completed. Students who have completed little or no work are ineligible for an incomplete. Students who feel they are in danger of failing the course due to an inability to complete course assignments should withdraw from the course. A W (Withdrawal) will appear on the student s permanent record for any course dropped after the end of the first week of a semester to the end of the third week. A WF (Withdrawal/Fail) will appear on the student s permanent record for any course dropped after the end of the third week of a semester and on or before the Friday before the last week of the semester. 13.
