Please describe any specific course procedures which you may wish students to keep in mind (teaching style, testing principles, priority material, etc.). List all assignments with due dates and provide the grade value of each one. Total points for classes taught as a part of a composite course should total the number of class hours multiplied by ten (10 class hours * 10 = 100 points). There is no total point requirement for standalone courses. 6. Recommended bibliography Please include a bibliography of books that would make good additions to the student’s library for further research. Please include the following disclaimer: “The presence of a book in our library does not necessarily indicate our agreement with the contents.”

Sample Syllabus GENESIS 1–11

Pottersville, NY Professor: Mr. Mark Strout

BIBL170 Fall 2017

Course Description Ten hours will be spent studying the first 11 chapters of the book of Genesis. Topics that will be covered include creation, the fall, the worldwide flood, and the origin of nations. Particular emphasis will be placed on the many theological and historical realities that find their source in the opening pages of God’s Word. Rationale This course is included in the curriculum of Word of Life Bible Institute because Genesis 1–11 lays the foundation of a biblical worldview both historically as well as theologically and sets the stage for the founding of the nation of Israel. Of particular significance are the accounts of creation and subsequent catastrophe resulting from man’s rebellion against his Creator. Course Objectives After completing this course, students will be able to: 1. State the outline of the first 11 chapters of Genesis. 2. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the details related to the events of creation, the fall of man into sin, the global flood, the origin of the nations of the world, and key persons in early human history. 3. Provide evidence of a “recent” supernatural creation in seven literal days. 4. Provide evidence of a worldwide flood and its critical impact in human history and experience. 5. Identify key theological and practical concepts which find their source in Genesis 1–11.

Course Requirements and Grading 1. Read Genesis 1–11 twice before the first period of the final day of Genesis classes. 2. Reading the text for the purposes of another course cannot be counted for this course. 3. Read The World That Perished by John C. Whitcomb before the final exam.
