What is the difference between a certificate
and an enrichment student?
Certificate and Credit
students are responsible to turn in a weekly take-home quiz
based on their reading in the text—approximately 30 pages weekly.
Every few weeks they also turn in a personal feedback sheet
which we refer to as a journal sheet. This page allows for
personal integration of reading, the speakers, experiences, etc. in
a way that the coordinator can interact with the students to try to
be an encourager and a resource. [These items, including the
reading, can take an average of 4-5 hours a week to complete.
These students will also do a project (4 - 6 pages, longer for
credit students)] There will be two take-home tests
(mid-term and
final) which are largely multiple-choice based on the
reading and weekly assignments.
Enrichment students
are committed to doing as much of the weekly reading as
they can, but have no assignments required of them.

What if I have to
miss a class? |
Certificate/Credit students are restricted to two unexcused absences.
However, if you need to miss additional classes, it may be
possible. Please see class coordinator regarding your
situation. Audio tapes of the lecture will be available for purchase
for those who miss a class.
Can I receive college credit?
The
Perspectives course is a credit-bearing course. If you
would like to receive credit, talk to the registrar at your school
about the transferability of the credits which will be issued by
Trinity
International
University.
Course syllabus is available with pertinent information to assist
you in this process. See Contact Us page to request syllabus, if
needed, before start of class.
What does a typical evening in class look
like?
The
evening begins with some type of devotional or worship experience to
prepare our hearts and minds for what God will have
for us. We will review some key aspects from the previous week,
often through small group interactions. Our guest instructor will
present their material for approximately 50 minutes, followed by a
15 minute break. The instructor will continue with another 50 minute
presentation and the class coordinator will conclude the evening.
Our goal is to always begin and end on schedule: 6:15
PM -
9:15 PM

Is
Perspectives only for people who are interested in
"Full-Time Overseas Missions"
work?
|
No. Perspectives is a relevant course for the
whole church, designed to equip the Body of Christ for effectively
answering God's call, whether it be as a missionary, a
mobilizer, or a sender/supporter.
Yes. We have a 100 student limit and therefore
encourage you to pre-register to be assured of a
place. |
