Again, the quotes in the margins and interspersed throughout this lesson ought to be referred to in your review of the material in this section. The ideas by Young and Hurty are important, and even more significant given their background and past devotion to more scientific, grammatical-historical forms of exegetical theology. Look carefully at the quotes with the students after the video teaching segment. By the end of the second class session, you ought to emphasize with the students the need for them to have done the spadework and thought out precisely how they intend on carrying out their Ministry Project. Also, by this time, you should have emphasized their selection of the passage they will study for their Exegetical Project. Both will be done with far better thought and excellence the earlier the students begin to think through them and decide what they want to do. Do not fail to emphasize this, for, as in all study, at the end of the course many things become due, and the students will begin to feel the pressure of getting a number of assignments in at the same time. Any way that you can remind them of the need for advanced planning will be wonderfully helpful for them, whether they realize it immediately or not. Because of this, we advocate that you consider docking a modest amount of points for late papers, exams, and projects. While the amount may be nominal, your enforcement of your rules will help them to learn to be efficient and on time as they continue in their studies.
