If you are using this course site, you are in a class that includes eitherÉ

á      A special assignment called a Òcourse embedded assessment.Ó Although the assignment is a regular part of the class, it is also used as a sample assignment to help Dallas Christian College assess how we are doing. The assignment will be graded like any other course assignment according to the standards of the class. After it is graded, your instructor or an assigned assessor will evaluate the assignment based on a rubric that helps us know whether we are accomplishing our program objectives. This information helps us continually improve our program and give you the best education possible. It is important that you submit the assignment here rather than giving the assignment directly to the instructor.

ÉORÉ

á      A set of journal assignments that will guide you through a process of learning, doing, and reflecting on a specific spiritual discipline. This group of journals is a part of the spiritual formation and mentoring emphasis of DCC. This work is graded, with the main requirement being that you truly engage in the exercise. This grade will impact your course grade (see your syllabus). Be sure to watch the feedback your instructor gives on these journals. If you are willing to share transparently through your reflections on this experience, you may find your instructor will use the feedback area to actively walk beside you in the process. (These journals are used only in Quest and Online classes.)

 

Some Quest and Online classes will include both course-embedded assessments and a spiritual disciplines journal series. Contact Bruce Long blong@dallas.edu if you have any questions or comments.
