Every Rockbridge Seminary course has written learning exercises- usually one research paper that is uploaded as a document and one or more written exercises that are submitted through an assignment textbox.
Almost every term, at least one student asks for more clear instructions for the written learning exercises; particularly, form and style guidelines and an idea about how much of the grade should count toward form and style. Faculty have asked for better guidelines from the seminary too.
At their last meeting, the Academic Council approved new writing guidelines for Rockbridge Seminary courses. Beginning with the May Term, these writing guidelines will be attached to each course syllabus.
Rockbridge Seminary believes HOW you write is important- so much so that approximately 30% of your grade for written learning exercises will be determined by it. Here’s why:
Effective ministry depends on effective communication, whether you are writing a ministry training article, constructing an e-mail to the church family, or making an announcement in a worship service. Writing well and clearly will help you learn to speak well and clearly. On the other hand, poorly written communication that contains errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation can reflect poorly on you and your ministry. Worse, unclear communication can cause confusion.
