Bible Doctrine Course Directives

The Bible Doctrines course is in two sections. It will be necessary to satisfactorily complete Doctrines I (GY105) before Doctrines II (GY106) is begun. 

Course Descriptions
GY105   |   GY106

TEXT BOOK: The main textbook for this course will be: BASIC THEOLOGY by Charles C. Ryrie (both I & II) and WHAT LOVE by Dave Hunt (II). Obviously other textbooks will be referred to from time to time as the course is being completed. The textbook can be purchased through the College, or the student may purchase this at another outlet, such as Amazon.com. Obviously, the book must be in hand before the course of study can be started.

AUXILLARY MATERIAL: It is assumed that the student will make full use of material in addition to the textbook in the preparation of submission requirements. In doing this the student must prepare an adequate bibliography of all material used. It will not be necessary to use the standard style footnotes at the bottom of pages, but any direct quotations must be indicated by the use of quotation marks in the body of material and accurate notation at the end of each module. It should be noted by the student that plagiarism is unethical and unchristian.

USE OF THE BIBLE: It is obviously necessary to use the Bible to support every proposition presented. Appropriate verses should be written out accurately along with their address. Please note that verses written out are not to be counted as fulfilling the requirements for a certain number of words or pages for an answer: thus, if an answer calls for two hundred words, it would be appropriate to use Bible verses to substantiate the answer, but not count the number of words of those verses to fulfill the two hundred word requirement.

SCRIPTURE MEMORISATION: Scripture memorization is an integral part of any Bible study course. Two pertinent verses will be assigned for each module. It is recommended that you begin at once to memorize these verses and continue to review them throughout the course of study. At the completion of all written assignments it will be required that each student meet with a College tutor or administrator and write out correctly each of the verses.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Each submission must include a coversheet with the formatting as of the example given. This coversheet will be the source of record keeping for the College and for the student.

Before you submit your work please check the following:

1. I have reviewed and followed the course submission instructions as given.

2. I have numbered each page except the coversheet and the bibliography.

3. I have typed out and underlined the instructions for the module. This should be the first item on each submission.

4. I have attached a completed coversheet to my submission. A separate coversheet is needed for each module or for each part of a module.

5. I have included a self-addressed, stamped envelope of sufficient size. Make sure the envelope is large enough to return your evaluated material. Charges for postage and envelopes, if not included as instructed, will be added to your College bill.

All papers are to be typewritten and double spaced, using correct grammar and spelling. Plain text (New Times Romans, size 12) is the accepted font. Work must be neatly presented and in accordance with the submission requirements of each class. If a student does not have access to a computer or typewriter, permission must be gained from the tutor before the first submission of handwritten work is made.

METHOD OF EVALUATION: Grading is based upon following the requirements set out in the modules for each course: a logical approach to the material, answering of all questions, adequate use of text book and additional resource material, ability to make application of and use the material studied, proper summarization of material, cohesiveness of thought in presenting the material and conformity to the standard rules of grammar and punctuation.

Grades will be awarded as: Pass, Merit and Distinction.

Please be sure to make duplicates of all work submitted for your own protection. Baptist Bible College will not be held responsible for lost or mutilated work.

CONTINUING WORK: The student MAY NOT submit the second module until the first module has been returned by the Tutor so that the student can take note of any mistakes in the preparation of the first module. After that modules can be completed and sent to the Tutor as quickly as the student desires.
