Overview
Textbook Summary submissions must be 11-20 pages in length. The narrative paper should begin with an introductory paragraph. The majority of the paper should be a summary of the content of the text written in the Student's own words.
In addition, a statement or paragraph concerning what was learned and how it is applicable to the Student’s life and/or ministry should be included. The Student should briefly summarize each chapter of the text as it is reviewed.
Requirements for all types of submissions:
- Each submission must be received in Microsoft Word or compatible software. PDF/Protected View/Read Only files are not acceptable.
- Each submission must be typed.
- Each submission must be double-spaced.
- Each submission should be typed using the Times New Roman or similar font style in a font size no smaller than 11 and no larger than 12 with 1 inch margins.
