A student missing the equivalent of 1.5 hours of lecture will have additional work to complete. Any student missing the equivalent of six class hours (any combination of lecture and
group time) will be required to receive a lower grade or withdraw from the class; this is at the discretion of the professor. This includes tardiness to class. C. Assignments/Assessment of Student Learning 1. Worship Attendance and Evaluation (15% of grade) A. Attendance at a Christian worship service different from your own (cross-culturally) B. Evaluation of Two Different Worship Services. - one should be the student’s “home” church - one should be the service described in #1 above. C. Write a 3-4 page reflection paper where you 1) briefly describe the settings and services (1 paragraph per service), 2) compare the services (how were they similar), 3) contrast the services (how were they different), and 4) briefly explain which you liked better and why. This can be submitted any time during the quarter but will not be received after June 5, 2013. 2. Group Work (30% of final grade) A. Design and lead 2 worship services. (20%) These services will be designed and led by in-class groups. Each group will plan and lead two 10-20 minute worship segments. This is an opportunity for students to explore unfamiliar styles and elements of worship. Your grade for this will be part of your group grade. Additional information will be provided during the first class. B. Actively participate in all other group work. (10%) 3. Terms and Concepts Exam (20% of grade) There will be an objective exam covering the entire course through November. The tested material will come from class lectures and readings.
