  • METHOD OF STUDY:
     1. Student is required to read the text, "The Great Doctrines of the Bible" by Dr. William Evans and the companion workbook by Dr. T.E. VanBuskirk, looking up and reading all scriptures in your Bible that are referenced in the workbook and the textbook, and complete the tests as you complete each of the ten sections in those books.
    2.     Student may not complete more than one section per week.
    Even one section every two weeks is reasonable, given the depth of the material.
    3.     If any questions are missed on a test, even if the test has a passing score, then the student must restudy that section of the text and find all of the correct answers to the questions missed.
    4.     There will be a final test at the end of the course.  All tests will be open book.

  • ATTENDANCE:  Minimum attendance for the course is 10 weeks.

  • TESTING:  Make sure you read the testing instructions if you have not already done so.
    -  You may not take more than one test in one subject on any one day.  Once you finish the last section and taken and passed that section test, you may not take the Final on that same day.  You should review all of the section tests, noting questions you had missed and the correct answers which you were required to look up in the textbook/workbook, and then take the Final Test not sooner than the following day.
     ATTENTION:  If you fail a test, you MAY NOT attempt that test again on the same day.  You must restudy the textbook/workbook and find all of the correct answers to the questions missed and then retake the test no sooner than the next day.
