The guidelines to be followed in preparing the essay include the following: Content of Essay: • The essay should synthesize several themes encountered in one’s coursework or should focus on one theme, exploring that theme with resources drawn from courses in several theological disciplines, such as scripture studies, history, systematic theology, etc. Example: A student wrote a thirty-page paper on “christology from below,” using information and insights drawn from scripture, contemporary systematic theology, spirituality, and ethics. • The topic of the essay must be approved by the faculty adviser for the essay. • The essay should state its thesis clearly and develop it in a coherent and appropriately comprehensive fashion.

Directions for your literary exploration: Part 1 – Reading the book As you read the summer novel, highlight interesting, important or confusing passages; take notes in the margins about topics and questions you may have; this is called annotating.

...Skill One In an ideal world, a child's parent or guardian would teach them about personal finances. Unfortunately, the amount of credit card debt in America, along with the number of adults who cannot balance a check book, makes it clear that many adults do not have the knowledge needed to teach children about finances. It is the opinion of many that schools need to teach kids about personal finance, but piling this requirement to the current curriculum would mean that schools would need more teachers, which is unaffordable for many districts. Adding this requirement would also create an increase in the number of credits required for graduation. Skill Two 1. When students start college, they have to begin by getting themselves enrolled. It's kind of a hassle because there are all these rules that they have to follow even way ahead of when they actually find themselves sitting there in class. 2. After students have been on the job for eight hours, they are gonna feel dog tired. Their get up and go has got up and went. They are moving kind of slow, so it's super hard to hit the books and prepare for a college class. Skill Three Cornish, Edward. Futuring: The Exploration of the Future.

...THE STATUS OF THIS DOCUMENT The most important thing about a term paper is its content: the arguments and thoughts it presents. But the form is not unimportant either. This document exemplifies and points out some features of a respectable layout and typography for a term paper. The operation is limited. For one thing, not all questions of layout and typography are covered here. Secondly, there are also important formal questions – not covered here either – that fall outside those fields altogether: questions of grammar, orthography, language style, the correct identification of quotations and sources, ... Many formal points are treated in The Chicago Manual of Style, The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, and other publications of a similar kind. Thirdly, what we have here is an example of a way to do things. The example has some features to which there are acceptable alternatives. Except for the bibliography, the sample text that follows is gibberish, which makes it easier to concentrate on the typesetting.

...How to Write a Book Critique PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT: The idea behind this assignment is to give you the opportunity to read a detailed historical account on a particular subject and to analyze the book critically. The paper you will be writing should be a book critique, rather than a book report. In a book report, you simply summarize the book. In a book critique, you go much further - you analyze and evaluate the book. WHAT A BOOK CRITIQUE SHOULD INCLUDE: There are many things you should do in a good book critique. How much attention you give to these different components of the critique may vary depending on the book you are analyzing. 1. Summarize the book. Yes, despite what I said above about the difference between a book report and a critique, you nonetheless need to do some summarizing in your critique. You need to describe what the book is about in enough detail that someone who hasn’t read the book has a clear idea of the topic the author is addressing, the parameters of the book, and how the book is organized. If you don’t give your reader some idea what the book is about, then you may lose your reader when you start analyzing the book. Note that a chapter-by-chapter summary of the book is not needed. A general summary of the main points will be sufficient. 2. Identify the author’s purpose. What does your author want to accomplish with this book? What audience is the book intended for? Your author may want to fill a gap in historical literature...

...Research Skills: Citing for Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing It is no secret that the internet has made a lot of things easier for the modern student. Research no longer involves card catalogs at libraries and the frustration of not being able to find certain academic articles. Paper writing happens almost exclusively on laptops and computers, and citing the research is as easy as pushing a button. Still, it is important to know the basics of research: the difference between quoting, summarizing, and paraphrasing; the type of citation for each of these and why properly citing is important; and finally, the consequences of improper citations. Quotations, according to Purdue Owl, “must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author” (Driscoll). These are not to be overused, as they are directly lifted from the original text. They should be in quotes – which indicate that the words are attributed to an author other than the paper writer – and the name of the author should follow in parenthesis if operating in MLA format. Either way, the author must be credited on a bibliography or works cited page. Paraphrasing is the smallest departure from the original quote. It is basically putting one’s own spin on the material. Purdue Owl calls defines paraphrasing as “putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed...
