Review materials will be provided in the class session previous to this test (Friday, March
8, 2013).
• Review of “Catholicism” Program (20%): This is a 3-5 page report on the first three
episodes of Robert Barron’s “Catholicism” DVD series, which will be viewed in class on
February 4, 6, 8, and 11. This report has two elements: a description of each episode
(including both what is shown and what is talked about) and some personal reflection on
this content. This latter element can be a critique, an assessment of the episode’s
educational value, or a reflection on how the content relates to the student’s own
understanding of the Catholic faith. More information will be provided in class. This
assignment is due on Friday, February 15.
• Final Exam (40%): The date for this test has been tentatively set for Tuesday, April 23

second half of the semester, it will also draw from material from all topics covered in the
course.
• Evaluative course material, such as representative questions, will be made available in
paper form distributed in class.
• Policy about course outlines can be found in § 23.4(2) of the University Calendar. (GFC

• The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity
and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding
academic honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students
are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Code of
Student Behaviour (online at www.ualberta.ca/secretariat/appeals.htm) and avoid any
behavior which could potentially result in suspicions of cheating, plagiarism,
misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an offence. Academic dishonesty is a
serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University. (GFC 29

Notes on Course Workload
• There is a lot of reading required for this course and therefore it is imperative that the
students keep up with the scheduled assignments.
• As regards the review assignment, it is to be submitted following the standard academic
requirements: double-spaced, 12-point, Times New Roman font; duly recognizing
sources where appropriate. These assignments are expected to conform to the rules of the
Chicago Manual of Style (Kate Turabian). The content ought to reflect a well-organized
synthesis of information and include thoughtful, independent theological reflection.
