Summative Evaluation Exam
To provide students in bachelor of missiology program with an opportunity to review and draw into a comprehensive unity the material of the different courses in the curriculum, there will be a concluding examination that allows for a summative evaluation of the student’s total program. This will involve an “open book” take-home examination to be completed within 48 hours in the spring semester of a student’s final year. Students finishing their course work by the end of December or January, prior to May graduation, will take the exam in the fall semester.
The examination will usually involve FOUR questions, ONE in biblical studies (New Testament, Old Testament), ONE in theological studies (Systematic Theology, Church History), and TWO in missiological studies. The examination must be typed (double-spaced) and each question answered separately in two to four pages. The examinations will be distributed on Wednesday of the tenth week of the spring or fall semester and are to be returned by the end of the two days (5:00 p.m. on Friday of the tenth week). Note that late submissions will result in a failure.
This summative examination will count for three semester hour of credit. It will be graded on a Pass/Fail basis. If a student should fail, a petition for a retake examination within a three-week period may be considered. The questions of the summative examination aim at giving students the opportunity to demonstrate that they can apply the knowledge acquired in the B.Miss. programs. Research will not be necessary for answering these questions. Rather, the questions will be designed to allow the student to draw upon the course work here. Given that it is an “open book” examination, students may make use of any research materials that they see fit.
Program Length and Time Limit
The B.Miss. degree is designed as a four-year program. If no credits are transferred from another institution, four years of full-time study is the minimum amount of time it will take to complete the degree. Students who are taking courses on a part-time basis due to employment or other reasons should adjust their course work plans and extend their program length accordingly. The Registrar and Dean of Students are available for counsel concerning individual student needs.
The maximum time limit to complete the B.Miss. degree is 8 years (not including any leave of absence or withdrawal period). Courses taken more than eight years prior to the completion of this degree may be credited toward the degree only by specific faculty approval. Such approval may include instructions for re-examination or additional study. Petitions for an extension due to unusual circumstances or hardship must be granted by the Faculty Committee of Three.
