Redemptive Poverty Work Student Workbook

The memorized Word is a central priority for your life and ministry as a believer and leader in the Church of Jesus Christ. There are relatively few verses, but they are significant in their content. Each class session you will be expected to recite (orally or in writing) the assigned verses to your Mentor. (See the Appendix for a sample Scripture Memory Grading Form. Your Mentor will provide this form for you.)* After each lesson there will be five discussion questions that your mentor will provide. If you are meeting online, you will discuss these questions in the forum with your classmates in WIU. If your class is in person, your Mentor will decide how/when the discussion will happen in your class. Classwork and homework of various types may be given during class by your Mentor or be written in your Student Workbook. If you have any questions about what is required by these or when they are due, please ask your Mentor. It is important that the student read the assigned readings from the text and from the Scriptures in order to be prepared for class discussion. Please turn in the “Reading Completion Sheet” on a weekly basis. There will be an option to receive extra credit for extended readings. (See the Appendix for an example of the Reading Completion Sheet. Your Mentor will provide this form for you.)* At the end of each unit, your Mentor will give you a unit exam (closed book) to be completed at home. You will be asked a question that helps you reflect on what you have learned in the unit and how it affects the way you think about or practice ministry. Your Mentor will give you due dates and other information when the Unit Exam is handed out. Grading Redemptive Poverty Work course is Pass/Fail, where passing is 70%. Unexcused late work or failure to turn in assignments will affect your grade, so please plan ahead and communicate conflicts with your instructor.
