Sunday School Project
You are to write a 13-week Sunday School lesson for the Epistle to the Romans. You may divide the chapters of the Epistle up in any way you desire for the 13 lessons, but you must include the entire Epistle in the 13 outlines. Each Sunday School lesson will consist of :
- Introduction - expressing your purpose or what you want to accomplish in that particular lesson.
- Outline - this should be somewhat brief and should include a short paragraph under each main point indicating what the emphasis of that point will be.
- Conclusion - this should summarize your lesson, as well as state what kind of specific applications (e.g. changed behaviors, changed outlooks, encouragements, etc.) you would like to see your students make as a result of the lesson.
Each lesson should be typed and 1-2 pages in length. This means the total project should be 13-26 pages. You will also need to indicate on your project what age level you will be designing this project for (children, adults, women, college, etc.).
Project will be graded as follows:
- Lesson includes all components as listed above with clarity.
- The purpose for each lesson is described at the beginning of the lesson.
- Age group for which the lesson is targeted is identified for reader.
- Lesson is appropriate for selected age group.
- Each outline includes a meaningful message(s) from the Epistle.
- Correct grammar, spelling, formatting (see guidelines at bottom of page).
- Meets page requirement.
Synthetic Paper
Synthetic paper: Write an 8 - 10 page synthetic paper on the book of Romans (minimum 8 pages). Analyze the entire book, and develop an outline for it. Synthesize the content of the book around the framework of the outline. Show relationships among the different parts and sections of the book. Identify the main elements in the book, and explain why they are included by the author. Relate each element to the overarching theme and purpose of the book.
Grading standards: Please refer to this rubric.
Reading Reports & Discussions
Assigned reading and your involvement and contribution to the weekly forum discussion make up the grade for this category. Each reading and lecture discussion will be worth 7 points each. Evaluation is based primarily upon the completion of reading and the content, depth, and quality of the student participation in the forum discussions. Participation is mandatory.
Please note that due to the reading load, reading assignments may be assigned ahead of the module in which they will be discussed in order to balance the reading throughout the course.
Instructions
- Start your post by recording how much of the assigned reading you completed. If you do not record your reading, you will not receive credit for assigned reading.
- Read the discussion question posted in the discussion forum and respond with your own thoughts, comments, and/or even questions. Your initial post is due by Friday. The purpose of this assignment is build knowledge and appreciate various perspectives by interacting with fellow students, and by responding by Friday, there is adequate time to do so.
- Please refer to Discussion Guidelines. Your participation in the class discussions are an essential component of your learning. Everyone's contribution is worthy and valuable!
The format for a post is:
"[Your response to the topic question here......"
Example
This example, though from another class (Old Testament Survey #1) will give you an idea of what a post looks like. Notice how the student records the reading completed at the beginning of the post.
Discussions
Discussion forums are an important part of online learning. Though you may feel apprehensive about participating (this is completely normal), you will soon find it to be an engaging and interesting part of the course! You'll find that not only does your knowledge and understanding of the course content deepen, but you will develop and grow in your faith at the same time.
Regular participation is required, and counts towards your participation points/grade. Please respond to the topic with a post of at least 200 words by Friday of the given week. Respond to at least one other student with a reply of at least 50 words by Saturday of the given week to receive full credit.
Guidelines for posting to Discussions
-
Use a subject line that relates to your post; this will help create interest and focus for the discussion.
-
Write clearly and with expression. Communicating online requires careful and concise writing, but also allows your personality to come through! Though humor is effective and at times relevant in discussion, be sure to avoid sarcasm, which does not translate well in the online environment. REMEMBER: other students cannot see your expression when you post, so they do not always have a context for it and may misunderstand your meaning.
-
Be supportive, considerate and constructive when replying to your classmates. Do not use jargon, slang or inappropriate language. No “U” for you; keep your “LOL” to yourself!
-
If you disagree with a classmate please respond in a respectful and tactful manner. Any posts deemed inappropriate by the professor will be removed from the discussion board.
-
Keep your post focused on the topic, relating any class readings and materials from the current module in your post (as applicable).
-
Proofread and review your response before hitting the submit button! You have one hour to edit your response before it is posted, then, it cannot be modified or removed except by the instructor.
-
Participate regularly. Improve your learning by being an active and engaged student. Successful students follow and participate in the assigned discussion throughout the module, logging on consistently each week while reading and participating in forums as assigned in the module.

Research Resources
Resources for the Sunday School Project
- Here is a sample Sunday School Project. Please be aware that not all the material is filled in in the project, but the outline should give you a framework to start from, if you want.
- Middletown Bible Church: A Detailed Analysis of Romans
- Devotional and Pastoral Commentaries
- John MacArthur, Romans 1-8
-
John MacArthur, Romans 9-16
- Douglas Moo, Romans (NIVAC)
- Intermediate Commentaries
- Leon Morris, The Epistle to the Romans (PNTC)
- Robert H. Mounce, Romans (NAC)
- Grant Osborne, Romans (IVPNTC)

Websites to Help with Biblical Interpretation
- General
- International Standard Bible Encyclopedia is an excellent resource to get you started.
- Institute of Biblical Greek is geared more for the biblical scholar, however you still might find some useful resources with a bit of digging.
- Commentaries
- Best Commentaries gives a comprehensive list and rating of commentary resources that you can find in a library, source to purchase and/or even view through Google Books. Quite often Google Books will make available select chapters of a book which you can view for free. Click on the Google icon to search - it's worth a try. You can also sort titles by one of four academic levels, you will most likely find the 'technical' and 'pastoral' categories most helpful.
- Historical Backgrounds
- The Bible Tutor website is an excellent resource for researching historical backgrounds about the Books of the Bible. There are two levels, Basic and Advanced. Each level also includes in-depth sections on: books, people, dates, places and general knowledge. There are even 'self-tests', if you so wish to partake in, that test your Bible knowledge.
- American Bible Society is easy to navigate with a great deal of resources for conducting research into people, nations, journeys, etc.
- Maps
- The images provided with the NET BIBLE are far better than any maps that have ever been included in any Bible.
- About-Jesus.org provides an Interactive Bible Map of Israel.
Resources
- The Anchor Bible Dictionary, Volume 6 of Anchor Bible Dictionary. David Noel Freedman. ISBN 038542583X, 9780385425834

TMC Online Policies
Open Note Academic Dishonesty Policy
-
You may access only your course notes during the exam. You are not allowed to use any electronic devices during the exam, which includes the use of cell phones and e-tablets, except in the case where you are using your electronic device to access your course notes or books.
-
While taking the exam you are not permitted to access outside resources, including but not limited to: friends and family, other students/individuals, websites, chat rooms, social network sites, or other printed materials. Upon completion, you are not permitted to discuss or record the exam questions or exam content with any individual(s).
-
If these guidelines are not followed, you will be in violation of Masters College ‘Academic Dishonesty Policy’ which will result in the exam graded as a 0%. Any subsequent documented offense of academic dishonesty (regardless of whether it occurs in the same or any other course taken by the student at the College) will result in automatic failure of the course and expulsion from the College for a minimum of one academic year.
For more information, see Student Handbook § 4.02
Grade Policy
-
Professors keep record of all student grades for course assignments, participation, quizzes, exams and extra credit as assigned. Check the Gradebook in Canvas for your grades. Note the following:
-
Quiz and exam grades scored by Canvas in some instances need to be adjusted by the professor to account for essay and/or short answer responses or in some rare instances discrepancies within the test itself.
-
This also applies to extra credit or additional assignments [as assigned].
-
- The instructor might also adjust grades within the Canvas grade book calculated inaccurately.
-
The official grade is recorded with the course instructor throughout the course. As a result, students will find their final and official grade for the course in Self-Service which is the same grade students will see on their transcript at course completion. This grade may be different from the grade which appears in Canvas for the reasons outlined above. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your professor.
Student Handbook § 3.06
Late Policy
-
Late assignments (essays, papers, power point assignments, etc.) will be subject to a 20% deduction on the first day an assignment is late and 10% each day thereafter unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor. If you know you will be offline the day an assignment is due, please make sure to post it early. Anytime you feel that you might be falling behind in the course, it is best to contact the instructor before you fall behind to discuss your situation. If you have an assignment completed by the deadline but are unable upload it through Canvas for technical reasons, send the assignment file to the instructor as an attachment via email to demonstrate that it was completed on time.
-
Exams (both proctored and non-proctored) that are not completed by the due date are closed and not available for students to complete. Students will thus receive a ‘0’ on the exam. If you are unable to take the exam by the due date, please contact the instructor prior to the close date to discuss options.
-
Assignments, exam, quiz and test due dates are outlined in the Course Schedule section of the syllabus. Due dates are usually Sunday evenings at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST).
-
Discussion due dates for postings vary; the specific days are outlined in the Discussion Grading Rubric located within the syllabus section of the course. There are no extensions granted for late discussion postings regardless of circumstances. In some instances there may be extensions granted for late recording of completed reading required for a given week, but this does not apply to the discussion/reflection aspect of the posting.

Student Handbook § 4.07
TMC Policies
Academic Dishonesty Policy
It is the responsibility of the faculty member to pursue suspected incidents of academic dishonesty occurring within his/her courses. If a student is found to be guilty of cheating, plagiarism or another form of academic dishonesty, the faculty member is required to document the incident in writing and submit the report to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
The first documented incident of academic dishonesty will result in the student failing the assignment or the course at the instructor’s discretion depending on the severity of the incident. Any subsequent documented offense of academic dishonesty by that student (regardless of whether it occurs in the same or any other course taken by the student at the College) will result in automatic failure of the course and expulsion of the student from the College for a minimum of one academic year.
Academic honor and Christian virtue in your studies is the result of placing your vocational and academic pursuits under the Lordship of Christ (2 Cor 10.5). It is the result of respecting and honoring the faculty and the institution as “one with authority” (1 Pet 2.13). It is the result of modeling academic excellence in one’s academic pursuits before a watching world (Matt 5.16).
For more information, see Student Handbook § 4.02.a
