Appendix 20 Scripture Memory Grading Form

A pdf version of this document can be found at www.tumi.org . This form is to be used for the Scripture Memory assignments for each module or course. There are 45 total possible points for Scripture memory for each Capstone module. The “Memory Verse Review” section on each Final Exam is for review only. Students have already completed their Scripture Memory assignments from the course and will not receive additional points for this review.

Name: __________________________________________ Credit: ___________

Translation: ________________________ Passage Memorized: ___________

In most situations, it is the student’s responsibility to grade his/her own Scripture Memory work.* As a reminder, please memorize Scripture only from a translation (ex. ESV, NIV, NASB, RSV, KJV, etc.) and not a paraphrase (ex. The Living Bible , The Message ). Please follow the process below in order to grade your work: 1. Put away any helps you may have (including your Bible), and on a blank sheet of paper, write out your Scripture Memory passage in its entirety.
