THIRD YEAR CLASSES

If you are taking classes for credit, please SIGN IN when you first start the course and then sign in again when you finish the course.

If you are only monitoring classes and not taking them for credit, please SIGN IN when you first start the course but it is not necessary for you to sign in again when you finish the course.

After signing in, then click on a class and that will take you to that class page where you will find specific instructions on how to take the class. Please read and follow all instructions.

You must meet minimum attendance requirements for each course if you are taking the course for credit toward a degree.

Unless otherwise indicated, the following attendance guidelines are to be followed.
Any classes with less than 7 lessons are still considered to be one-quarter classes.
A one-quarter (7-8 weeks) class requires a minimum of 5 weeks attendance.
A one-semester (14-16 weeks) class requires a minimum of 12 weeks attendance.
A three quarter (21-24 weeks) class requires a minimum of 17 weeks attendance.
A one school-year (28-32 weeks) class requires a minimum of 26 weeks attendance.
A one year (52 weeks) class requires a minimum of 46 weeks attendance.

GENERAL STUDY INSTRUCTIONS

Each section requires 1 week (minimum of 5 days) study.
You may NOT take more than one test in any one subject on one day.
Look up every scripture referenced in the textbook/workbook.
At the end of each section, stop and take the section test if there is one.
You may NOT go on to the next section until you have passed the test for the current section and found all of the answers in the textbook to any questions missed on the current test, whether you passed it or not.
TESTING: Make sure you read the Testing Instructions if you have not already done so.
ATTENTION: You may NOT take more than one test in any one subject on one day.
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.
CAUTION: Some times the tests do not open when you first download them. This is an unavoidable quirk in the test writing program. If you get a blank page, please refresh the page and the tests will open. Either click the refresh icon or press F5 to refresh the page and open the test.

Attention: Some of the courses allow 2 short sections to be completed in one week. Because of a tendency by new students to rush through some of the first courses because they are so basic, the following explanation is given to clarify study and testing matters.

If you are allowed in a particular course to take 2 short sections in one week, the tests need to be taken a minimum of 2-3 days apart. Study the first section for 2-3 days and then take the first test and then study another section for 2-3 days and then take the test for that section.

Even in the courses that do have some short lessons, taking 2 sections in one week should be the exception and not the rule. Do not complete more than 2 sections in any one week.

In all courses you must meet the minimum attendance requirement before taking your first test.

Example: If the requirement is that you can not do more than one lesson per week in a course, then your first test cannot be submitted until at least the last day of that first week of attendance. Attendance will be figured from the day that you turned in your sign in form for that course.

If a test is not submitted according to the attendance requirement, then that test will be disallowed and the student will have to repeat it when the attendance requirement has been met.

If you proceed faster than the required pace, then you will not retain the information in the text.
Minimum attendance for each course must be met. Tests must be spaced at least the minimum required weekly attendance apart.
If a course is marked "(This course is not yet available.)" then proceed to the next course in the list.

Third Year Classes are being prepared at this time.
The classes with active links are available for study.

The Temple and the Tabernacle
This course will help solidify the connection between the Old Covenant, symbolized by the Tabernacle and the Temple, and the New Covenant, symbolized by the cross and the modern Temple of God. It will also help expand on the groundwork established by your study of the book of Hebrews. Included in this study will be the histories of both the Tabernacle and the Temple(s) from both biblical and external sources as well as comparisons and explanations of their surroundings and contents. Comparisons to both the person and the work of Jesus Christ will be shown from the tabernacle and from the ancient and modern Temples of God. (2 credit quarters)

First John
In this class we will examine the letter's origins, author, purpose, and a verse by verse study of its contents. Refutations of Gnostic teachings are keyed throughout the study. (1 credit quarter)

Beginning Greek
(This course is not yet available for use.)
In this course you will get a primer in the original language of the New Testament, Koine Greek. (3 credit quarters.)

Practical Christian Ministry
If you are actively involved in a ministry in your local church on a regular basis, then you are eligible for 1 credit per quarter (6 credits per year) for practical Christian ministry. "Actively involved" is defined as at least 1 or 2 days per week of some type of church ministry.
