General Assignment Guidelines

Formatting Your Assignments (not including the class presentation handout)

Papers should be typed, double-spaced and follow the appropriate formatting guidelines

(e.g. 1 inch margins).

Use Times New Roman font only.

Use italics rather than underlining (including in the footnotes and bibliography).

Employ gender-inclusive language wherever possible and appropriate.

Papers that exceed the maximum length may not be graded and will receive a grade

reduction.

Failure to follow these simple guidelines warrants a grade reduction.

Submitting Assignments

Assignments should be submitted via Populi. This video explains how to submit assignments on

Populi (the link to the video is also available on the info tab of the Populi course page). I will

accept submissions in either MSWord format (doc or docx is fine), Rich Text format (rtf), or

as PDF files. When you submit electronic files, please name the file as follows:

Example: Tim Brown – Pentecostal Identity

Late assignments will receive only a letter grade (without comments). In addition, a late penalty

will be assessed for all overdue assignments (see above for the late penalties for online

discussion assignments): 1-3 days late, penalty of 10%; 4-6 days late, penalty of 20%; after six

days late, an assignment receives a grade of 0. No assignments will be accepted after October 31.

1. Class Presentation – 20% * Due date varies

During a class session you will make a presentation on one of the following topics. The

professor will assign reading material for each of the topics below.

PCC, Syllabus (Fall 2014), p. 3 of 12

Your presentation should:

Primarily report on what you have read.

Give some evaluation of the significance of the topic about which you are presenting.

Note how understanding your topic informs one’s understanding of Pentecostal identity.

For your presentation:

Aim for 10-15 minutes in length

Do not read your presentation. Rather, aim to present as though you are teaching the class.

Include a maximum one-page, single-spaced handout for everyone in the class (point

form). No PowerPoint please.

Please note page numbers from the reading in brackets (no footnotes for this assignment).

Include the bibliographic information for the source(s) you read on the back of your

handout.

As I grade your presentation I will be looking to make sure that you understand the material, that

you are able to pick out the important points, that you are able to give some evaluation of the

significance of the discussion, and that you give us a good sense of the big picture, but supporting

it adequately with details (without getting lost in the details). Also, be sure your handout is

sufficient for students to remember your points without having to add material.

Students may e-mail the professor before the course begins to request to present on a specific

topic, so that they can prepare in advance. The presentation topics include:

-Global Pentecostalism: A Region outside North America (listed below):

-Europe

-Africa

-Latin America and the Caribbean

-Asia, Australia, and the Pacific

-The Hebden’s and the Hebden Mission: Canada’s First Family of Pentecost

-The New Order of the Latter Rain

-Pentecostals and the Ecumenical Movement

PCC, Syllabus (Fall 2014), p. 4 of 12

2. Journal Reflections – 15% * Due each Monday

Each Monday you will submit a ½ page journal entry. In your entries you will describe how

aspects of our study of the history of the Pentecostal-charismatic movement are inspiring or

motivating for contemporary Christian life and ministry. Your journaling can be based on any

aspect of this course, including the lectures and other written assignments. Some of your journal

entries should indicate where your feelings and reflections are directing you. That is, you should

indicate decisions that you are making regarding your present or future ministry. For example,

you might indicate places you should go, people to meet, or specific things to do. This

assignment will be evaluated based on your level of engagement of the course material and how

specific and clearly you communicate your affections.

3. Diagrams – 20%

As you complete the textbook readings, create an historical diagram of key events and people

that you read about. Your diagram must be based on your textbook reading. Therefore, you will

indicate what page and source each point on your diagram is drawn from. With each diagram

you will also include a statement indicating what percentage of the reading that you completed.

This must be included in order for you to receive a grade for the diagrams. This assignment will

be graded based on accuracy and thoroughness.

*Note: Your reading for these diagrams will also contribute to your Pentecostal identity paper

(assignment 3).

Diagram 1: History of North American Pentecostalism * Due Thurs, Oct 2

For the first diagram you will read the following:

a) Anderson, An Introduction to Pentecostalism, chs 1-3 + 8 + 15.

b) NIDPCM articles:

-“Introduction”

-“Azusa Street Revival”

-“Classical Pentecostalism”

-“Missions, Overseas (N. American Pentecostal)”

Diagram 2: Canadian Pentecostalism Report * Due Wed, Oct 15 For the second diagram you will read the following:

a) NIDPCM articles:

-“Canada” (found in “Part I: Global Survey”)

-“Latter Rain Movement”

-“Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada”

-“Pentecostal Assemblies of Newfoundland”

b) Wilkinson, ed., Canadian Pentecostalism, Intro + chs 1-2 + 12-13

4. Pentecostal Identity Paper – 25% * Due Oct 21

For this assignment you will engage both in-class material as well as all of the reading you

completed for assignment 3 (the diagrams). You will write a 3-page paper describing Pentecostal

identity globally and within the Canadian context. Answering the question: What does it mean to

be Pentecostal? You may discuss any aspect of this course that helps you answer this question,

including things such as: Pentecostal theology and key emphases, Pentecostal practices, how

Pentecostalism has changed over time, signs of maturity within Pentecostalism, good things from

early Pentecostalism that were lost in later developments, and aspects distinct to Pentecostalism

PCC, Syllabus (Fall 2014), p. 5 of 12

but also identity markers that might be shared with other groups. Your paper will be evaluated

based on the HCS grading system (p. 12 in this syllabus). For your paper:

Follow the general assignment guidelines on page 2 above.

Follow the “Chicago Style” of formatting.

Use footnotes only, not endnotes.

A bibliography is not needed for this assignment.

5. Contemporary Church Issue Project – 30% * Due Oct 24

Possible project topics are listed on Populi, in the lesson “Notes Regarding Your Research

Project” (under the files section on the right). Your project will be evaluated based on your

demonstration that you have interpreted and analyzed the topic with historical awareness, how

well you structure your presentation of the topic, and the depth of research displayed. Regardless

of which option you choose, your assignment should be the equivalent of a 7-8 page paper. There

are many possibilities of how you will present your research, including:

1) Present your research to me in a one-on-one mock discussion regarding the topic (as

though you were out for coffee with someone).

2) Create a documentary.

3) Class Presentation (in whatever format works for you).

4) Write a blog entry regarding the topic.

5) Write a typical research paper regarding the topic.

*) I would be happy to discuss other options with you.

Options 1, 2 & 3:

Keep a record of the amount of time you spent on your project and submit this with the

project.

Submit notes from your research and note your sources.

Use a minimum of 7 scholarly1 sources, including at least one journal article2 and one

web page (dictionary definitions do not count as sources).

Submit a bibliography.

Options 3 & 4:

Follow the general assignment guidelines on page 2 above.

Use a minimum of 7 scholarly1 sources, including at least one journal article2 and one

web page (dictionary definitions do not count as sources).

Use footnotes only, not endnotes.

Include a bibliography.

Write about 2100 words [2300 max], (not including your footnotes and bibliography).

Record the word count for your papers after your conclusions.

Follow the “Chicago Style” of formatting.

Note the document “Common Pitfalls When Writing a Research Paper” (on Populi, in

the lesson “Notes Regarding Your Research Project,” under files).

1 “Scholarly” sources generally include articles published in academic journals and academic books (a book

is often not ‘academic’ if it does not have footnotes or endnotes). You are welcome to use magazine articles and web

pages, but these will often not count as scholarly sources. 2 There are a number of excellent databases available for searching the contents of many journals at one

time. If you request a password from the Horizon librarian, you can access many journals online through the

electronic search databases once you login to the STU Library page (see this video). An internet search can help you

as well (although this would not be as helpful).

PCC, Syllabus (Fall 2014), p. 6 of 12

Failure to follow these simple guidelines warrants a grade reduction.

6. Class Attendance

Since illness or other unforeseen circumstances may arise, a student may miss four days of class

without academic penalty. A student must be present for the full duration of a class (you should

not leave early and should not be late!) in order to be registered as present for the full class

period. Three lates will be regarded as one class absence. Students who are absent for more than

four classes or the equivalent (regardless of reason) will automatically fail the course. Students

wishing to be exempted from this policy due to extenuating circumstances must meet with the

Academic Dean to document and verify those circumstances. If you are going to miss a class,

you are responsible to arrange to get any missed notes/handouts from another student, rather than

from the instructor. You can view your attendance history in the class on Populi by clicking

“detail” next to your attendance percentage on the course dashboard.

Horizon College/University of Saskatchewan Assessment of Student Work

Grading System The College employs the percentage system for marking tests and final examinations. Letter grade equivalents, according to the following scale, may be used in grading assignments. The student’s final grades are given in percentages. A mark of less than 50% is a failing grade. 90-100 A+ 4.0 85-89 A 4.0 80-84 A- 3.7 77-79 B+ 3.3 73-76 B 3.0 70-72 B- 2.7 67-69 C+ 2.3 63-66 C 2.0 60-62 C- 1.7 57-59 D+ 1.3 53-56 D 1.0 50-52 D- 0.7 0-49 F 0.0
