1. Students will visit a church of another race/ethnic tradition several times during the summer and write a 2000 word paper analyzing this community in light of the church worksheet. Due at beginning of class, February 9th(30%). Late papers will receive a 50% deduction.

2. Students will write a paragraph per chapter read. Student need not write more than 500 words per book, but must reflect on each chapter read nonetheless. Students are encouraged to read in light of final paper, thus these reflections may serve as notes for the term paper as well (15%). Students may read the six books in any order. The six book reports are due on January 12th, January 26th, February 9th, February 23rd, March 8th, and March 16th. Each of these are due at beginning of class in hard copy or on your personal blog (except the last one, which may be turned in with the final paper). Late papers will receive a 50% deduction.

3. For class participation, students will write, on average, 75 words for each class session attended. These 75 words are due at the start of the next day of class in hard copy or on your personal blog (please notify the TA of its web address by e-mailing cbronzan@fuller.edu by Tuesday, January 10th). There will be no makeups or acceptance of late work, but of the ten assignments, only nine will be counted. So, students may miss one without a penalty. The topic will be, "My thoughts on the last class session." During the course of the quarter, students, in small groups, will be creating their own version of the perfect church. They will submit this template with the final paper. For the last class reflection, students may turn that in with the final paper (15%).

4. Using the church worksheet, students will write a 3000 word term paper, comparing their own tradition to other church traditions, both from the lectures and from the reading. In each section, students will analyze how their own tradition might learn or adopt various practices from these other traditions (40%). Due March 16th at 5pm in 250 North Madison or postmarked on the due date. Late papers will not be accepted for the final paper. If student would like preliminary feedback on the final paper, student may turn in partial work (outline or rough draft) by March 1st and receive feedback by the TA by March 8th.
