NOTE: High School students taking this class will have higher reading loads.

Writing is an integral part of demonstrating both the assimilation of knowledge and the articulation thereof. Therefore, students will be guided through the process of writing a short (1- to 2-page, double-spaced) review of a book of their choice relevant to the subject matter.

NOTE: High School students taking this class must instead write a 3- to a 5-page book report.

NOTE: Parents may contact the professor to excuse their students from the written assignments.

Weekly, optional review quizzes based on classroom lectures and discussions. Worth bonus points.

OUR PRAYER BEFORE CLASS MEETINGS:

Grant me the grace, O merciful God,
to desire ardently all that is pleasing to Thee,
to examine it prudently,
to acknowledge it truthfully,
and to accomplish it perfectly,
for the praise and glory of Thy name.

Amen.
