    This is the Bulletin Board for the study of the Greek text of Colossians. This will serve as the main communication link between student and professor outside of the classroom.

    The course is being offered jointly between the Department of Religious Studies and the M. Christopher White School of Divinity. The undergraduate students will be signed up for Greek 496 Independent Study (CRN 21280), Religion 620 (21278) and the divinity school students will be signed up for DSGK205 (CRN 21282) Colossians.

    The assignments between the undergraduate and masters students will be similar. Each student will be required to write and then present in class a research paper in addition to the regular requirements. For the details of requirements for students see Course Requirements in the Course Syllabus, which spells out the requirements in more details.

    This Course Room is currently being developed in anticipation of the spring semester. So check back periodically for more details about various updated aspects of the course, especially to be found in the Schedule page.

    Also helpful would be to complete the Online Student Profile form before the first day of classes. This will help me better understand the level of computer and internet skills among the class members, as well as learn a little more about your background and career aspirations. Five bonus points will be added to the Participation grade, if this online form is completed by the end of the second week of the semester.
     
    For those who do not have easy access to the internet, all these materials as well as everything else on Cranfordville.com can be purchased for $9.95 plus handling and taxes. Just go to the C&L Publications web site and fill out the online order form under Mirrow Copy of Cranfordville.com.
