of oral communication. You will sharpen your skills by using the
methods learned in this class while speaking before groups as well as
exercising your one on one communication techniques in regular
conversation. (1.5 credits)
INSTRUCTIONS
Textbook:
The textbook is divided into nine sections. Not more than one section
may be completed
each week. At the end of each section you
will stop and take the Section Test that corresponds with the section
you just finished studying. All Section Tests are “open book,” which means you may use your textbook
while taking the tests. You may not go on to study the next section until
you have completed and submitted your homework for the current section,
if any, and passed the current section test.
Attendance:
The attendance
for this course is nine weeks. Because of the homework
requirements, no less than nine weeks attendance is allowed.
Homework:
All homework assignments must be completed and
turned in before taking the Section Test or the Final Test. If you
do not complete the homework assignments for a particular week, then you
may not take that week's Section Test nor go on to study the next lesson
until you have completed the assignments for the current week.
Once you have completed the homework and taken, and passed, the Section
Test, then you may go on to study the next section starting on the
following day.
Testing:
Read and submit the Testing
Instructions form if you have not already done so.
- At the end of each section you will stop and
take the Section Test.
- If you
fail the test then you must restudy that entire section and then retake the test.
Repeat this process until you finally pass the test. You cannot go
on to the next section until you have passed the test for the current one.
That means that you cannot read the entire text and then come back and take all
of the tests at once. You must study one section of the text and then take
and pass the test for that section before going on to study the next section.
ATTENTION:
You
MAY NOT
take
any test more than once on any one day but must wait until the next day
to repeat the test.
- If you missed any of the questions on any test, then you must review the section
corresponding to that test and look up the correct answers to any questions answered incorrectly.
Once you have found all of the correct answers, then you may continue on to the next section
of the textbook.
Note:
Homework assignments must be completed and those that are to be turned-in
need to be submitted before taking the section test. You will be
asked on each test for any sections requiring homework, if you have
completed your homework and submitted the necessary parts of it.
If you have not, then you will fail the test because you will have to
answer those questions "no" and the points lost for a
"no" answer to either one of those two questions will make it
impossible to attain a passing score. If you lie on the test about
whether you have completed and/or submitted your homework, then you will
not be allowed to continue taking courses and all credits accrued at
SLBC will be declared null and void. In addition, your file will
be marked, "Expelled for lying and cheating." The only
way you will again be accepted as a student at SLBC is if you undergo a
set time of counseling and rehabilitation under your pastor or his
appointed representative.
FINAL TEST
-
Once you have completed all sections of the textbook and passed all of the corresponding
tests, and found the correct answers to any questions missed on any test, then you may Retrieve
the Password and, upon receiving the Password, take the Final Test for the
course.
Final Test is "open book."
-
Once you have passed the final test, do not take it again.
- If you fail the final test then you need to restudy both the textbook and all of the section tests
and then retake the final test. Repeat this process until you pass the Final
Test; but, you may not
take the final test, or any other test more than once on any one day.
-
If you miss any questions on the Final Test,
even though you passed it, then you need to review the textbook and all of
the section tests and find the correct answers in the textbook to the questions you missed.
A copy of each of your section tests was sent to you and they will have all of the correct answers on it for comparison
purposes to make sure you have found the correct answer in the textbook.
