• How to complete this class.

  1. Read the textbook and look up all scripture references in your Bible.
  a. If the scripture reference is quoted in the textbook, you must still look up that scripture in your Bible.
  b. Reading it in the lesson does not excuse you from looking up the reference in your Bible.

  2. As you finish each Lesson in the textbook, keep track of your Responses concerning that lesson's Character Trait for the next two weeks.  There is a chart included, with instructions, as the last page of each lesson.
  a. Download and print that page/chart and use it to keep track of your progress for two weeks.
    At the end of the two week required attendance for each lesson you will then scan that page/chart and attach it to an email and submit it to the college.  This is required "homework" for each lesson.
  b. Click the name to submit your CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM
       RETURN TO THIS CURRENT PAGE AFTER EACH LESSON TO SUBMIT YOUR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM 
  
  WARNING: If you do not submit the CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT REPORT forms at the end of each lesson, then you will not receive credit for this course!  If you fail to submit those forms, then, in order to receive credit for the course, you will have to submit a new Begin Sign In form and start the course over from the beginning.

  3. After finishing all required reading and submitting the homework/chart for every lesson via the CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM, you can then take the Final Test.
