Select Learning no longer provides a reader for final papers. Select Learning does provide certificates of completion for those who have successfully completed locally held courses.

Programs desiring a certificate of completion for courses that are hosted locally, should have the course facilitator/teacher read and the students paper or designate a reader for the program. Once the papers are graded (Pass/Fail), the reader can contact Maria Rodas, maria@selectlearning.org, to indicate the course that has been completed, the program it is for, and the students names and email addresses. Maria will provide certificates of completion for those identified students.

The guidelines for a final paper are:

Participants who use Select Learning courses to meet requirements for certification processes, must write a paper for each course. In this paper the participant must be able to articulate an understanding and integration of the course material including the lectures, reading and discussion. The participant should use the following questions to guide preparation of the paper:

   1. What are the key ideas of the course? Which were most significant, provocative or challenging for you? With which of the key ideas and concepts did you agree, disagree or struggle?

   2. What impact has this course had? How might it have relevance for your life? How might it affect your ministry?

   3. As you complete this course, about what are you interested in knowing more?

   4. What was missing from this course? What do you wish had been included to make it an even richer learning experience?

 

The paper should be about 10 pages in length, double-spaced.
