Thesis Reflections (20% (2×10%) of final grade; outcomes 4-5): – Students will respond to two sections of the Bible (Both Old and New Testaments, 10 points each) with a one-page, five paragraph response outlines as follows:
Paragraph 1: Introduction/Summary – introduce and briefly condense what the reading covered in general terms.
Paragraph 2: Comprehension – highlight key ideas, teachings, or concerns that the author shared.
Paragraph 3: Application – how does the text resonate with experience and reality (“real life”)?
Paragraph 4: Analysis – point out specific flaws or strengths (evidence use, accuracy, clarity, bias, etc.).
Paragraph 5: Evaluation/Conclusion – What was learned from the texts. Themes of readings. What was understood. Feel free to utilize other resources to help formulate your analysis, i.e. Complete Visual Bible, Bible Commentary, Online Bible Resources, etc.
Students must show personal interaction with the text by referring to the text directly, citation (ex. As Paul mentioned, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who] have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28). No “Works Cited” page expected (unless any outside sources are used).
