Study Method II requires direct
answers to the set of questions. This method does not
require written essays and long paragraphs. As a learning process,
the questions are designed to lead you through the essentials
of the subject matter of each lesson. The answers are to be
in the form of statements, sentences and short paragraphs.
Sometimes only one word will be required.
The answers to the questions can be found in
the given Scripture references, the lesson notes and the text
book, Salvation History.
- Answers to the questions are to be written in the provided
spaces on the Question & Answer Sheet.
- Neat, clear presentation is necessary to facilitate your tutor's
assessment.
- Write legibly at all times.
- Be careful to read and answer the questions.
- Be sure that your answers are based soundly on Scripture.
- Refrain from an over-use of Bible quotations as a substitute
for expressing your own grasp of the subject.
- Try to avoid 'parrot-fashion' repeating of words and ideas
in the study materials.
- Seek to express yourself as clearly and succinctly as possible.
Don't use more words than necessary to say what you want to say.
- If a question seems difficult to handle, leave it for a later
time.
- Take time to read and re-read the text allotted to each lesson
in the printed notes and Salvation History.
- Put your student number, your name and address, and your tutor's
name on the back of the last sheet.
Your attitude to your study will work for you
if you are willing to say, 'I want to increase my biblical knowledge
and come to a deeper understanding of the truth, therefore I am
determined to see this course through to completion'. Further to this way of study, you can read extra
material recommended in the Bibliography below. In that Bibliography
we have recommended certain Bible Helps. You do not have to buy
these, but they certainly will be valuable books to have on your
shelves. Links with Your Tutor You will be assigned to your own tutor who will
see you through your course. You should feel free to ask for help
where needed. Your tutor will return your homework with comments
which will be helpful. Marks will be given, and you will receive
a graded Certificate of Studies on completing your course. Going the Course Alone Some students will wish to do the course entirely
on their own. This means they will wish to receive the sixteen
lessons and do the course without the aid of the tutor. No Certificate
of Studies can be given in this case. Period of Study for the Course Certificate of Studies Students It is recommended that you persist continually
in study so that you finish the course as soon as possible, without,
however, putting yourself under stress. A good aim is to complete
the questions within one month, or two months at the most. In the
event of your study being interrupted or delayed through circumstances,
do not give up your course. There is no time limit set for completion
of the course, however to gain maximum benefit from your studies
you should aim to complete the course within two years. A note
to your tutor will be helpful. If for any reason you have to relinquish
the course, please let your tutor know. Diploma of Theology Students A Diploma of Theology will be granted to a student
who completes eight subjects which cover the following six categories:
Doctrine; Old Testament; New Testament; History; Christian Ministries;
Practical Christian Living. A student is expected to complete the eight subjects
in five years. Extension is available in extenuating circumstances.
A Certificate of Studies will be awarded for each completed subject.
