This course is taken after completion of all coursework for the MA in Theology and Educational Ministry. It consists of two parts. The first part is a two-question comprehensive exam designed to demonstrate the student’s ability to synthesize and apply general concepts learned in more than one course. Students include knowledge and understanding they have acquired from elective coursework, as well as the core requirements. In preparing for the comprehensive exams, students see the pool of questions from which the ones they write on during the exam are selected. Questions are worded as they appear on the exam and course modules provide outlines of topics and reference documents from which the student develops a personal study guide. Pre-recorded video conferences hosted by faculty members provide additional guidance for students. The second part of the course is a theological reflection paper based on the student’s intellectual and spiritual growth and progress towards their degree as evidenced by artifacts assembled in their MAThEM ePortfolio.
