Summary

    Although there are only six chapters in the textbook there are eight sections of study when we include the Introduction and the Summary.

• STUDY:  Study only one section of the textbook at a time.  The link to the textbook is at the bottom of this page.  You may not proceed to the next section until you have fulfilled the required attendance for the current section.  You will then begin your attendance for the next section on or after the next day. 
• ATTENDANCE:
  Each section of the course requires a minimum of 1 week attendance. Some sections may take two weeks to complete; but, for lesson attendance purposes this is considered a one week minimum attendance per section course.
  Minimum attendance overall for the entire course is 11 weeks even though there are only eight sections.  This is to give you ample time for those sections that may take two weeks to complete.  The course is worth 1.5 credits.
• Please submit a Begin Sign In form to officially begin your attendance for this course.

ATTENTION: We have noticed a tendency, actually 1 out of 6 new students which amounts to hundreds of students total, to rush through this course because it is so basic.  Therefore, we have included the following explanation to clarify study and testing matters:

• Attendance for the entire course is 11 weeks minimum.

• Attendance per section is 1 week minimum.

• Under no circumstances can you complete more than 1 section in any one week.  The next section cannot be started until the following week begins.

• All attendance is figured from the date that you submit your Sign In form for the course.  If you submit a Sign In form with incorrect information on it then you will be instructed to submit an "Amended" Sign In with the correct information.  In that case your attendance will be figured from the date of your submission of the Amended form.
     The most common mistakes on the Sign In form are to submit the wrong Required Attendance per Lesson or the wrong Required Attendance for the course overall.  You will find both of those attendance requirements on each course main page.  It is given on those pages as required minimum attendance per lesson and required minimum attendance for the course overall.  It is not the same for all courses.  Each course main page will plainly give both of those requirements for that course.  There are no maximum attendance requirements.
  
  In plain terms:

• If you submit your Final Test before completing the entire 11 weeks of attendance, that Final Test will also be disallowed and you will have to retake it at the proper time.

• These are college courses and following instructions is part of what is being taught.  Therefore, exact adherence to all instructions is required of all students at all times.  The instructions given on the website are specifically designed to help the student have the best chance at a quality education in the Word and Ways of God and they are also designed to facilitate the operation of the college in an effective manner.

• Failure to follow instructions is the biggest problem among not only the unsaved, but it is also the biggest problem among God's people and one of the main reasons that the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, is blasphemed among the nations.  Failure to follow the instructions of the earthly authority that God has placed over a person, not only in this area of education but also in every other facet of their Christian life, is a sure indication that they will also neglect to follow the instructions of God as given in His Word, the Bible.    
     Therefore, to facilitate the necessary and in-depth training of the students, SLBC requires complete adherence to the instructions given in each course.  This will help facilitate the students best opportunity to obtain an good education in the Word and Ways of God.

    If you proceed faster than the required pace, then you will not retain the information in the text nor will you be able to locate the information to score in the passing range on the open book Final Test.

• TESTING:  Make sure you read and submit the Testing Instructions Agreement if you have not already done so.  On that agreement you will receive instructions concerning what to enter for your User Name and User ID.  Without reading that form you will not know how to correctly enter those two pieces of information on the test opening page.  Only one such form is required for each student's file.
  - Name entry on tests:  Students are required to use proper letter-case when inputting their names on all submissions to the college.  Example: If your name is John Smith, then input John Smith, not john smith or JOHN SMITH.  If you do not use proper letter-case when you input your name on a test, then the test will be Disallowed and discarded.
  ATTENTION:  If you fail the Final Test, you MAY NOT attempt that test again on the same day.
  
• RESULTS PAGE of tests:  Students must send a copy of the Results Page to the college to be placed in your file.  Failure to do so will result in loss of credits for that course because there is nothing on file showing your score for the Final Test for that course.
      You can click HERE for instructions for saving a copy of the Results Page to your computer.  You may want to print out a copy of those instructions or else you can save an electronic copy to your computer.
  
• LESSON TESTS: 
  ATTENTION: ignore all test links in the textbook and return to this page to take ALL TESTS INCLUDING your Final Test.  Be sure to send a copy of the Results page OF EVERY TEST to SLBC so that your score can be registered to your file.

• FINAL TEST
  - You may not take the Final Test until you have met the attendance for the entire course which is 11 weeks.  You may take the Final Test after 11 full weeks of attendance which will place your Final Test on or after the first day of the 12th week from your Sign In to "Begin" date.
  - Once you have completed all sections of the textbook, meeting the required attendance for each section, you may then take the Final Test for the course.
  - Once you pass the final test do not take it again.
  - If you fail the Final Test then you need to restudy both the textbook and then retake the Final Test no sooner than the next day after failing it. Repeat this process, after the one day required wait between each retake, until you pass the Final Test.
  - If you miss any questions on the Final Test, even though you receive a passing score, then you need to review the textbook and all of the section tests and find the correct answers to the questions you missed.  This is required for every course and every test.
