- Grading Guidelines:
- No prescribed length.
- The criteria of (1) thoroughness, (2) adherence to test guidelines below, and (3) level of reflection will determine the grade.
- Each individual MUST work independently on this. This is not a group project! It's okay to discuss the issues with fellow classmates, but you must do your own work and draw you own conclusions.
- This is to be your reflection, not what you think mine is.
- The expectation is how well you understand NT theology up to this point, in light of the materials we have been studying in unit 1.

- Just make sure the component elements called for in the test guidelines below are clearly displayed with your answer underneath.
- No title page!
- Staple sheets together; no folders or binders. They cost you money and waste my time in grading!
