This subject involves the detailed analysis of a topic in Biblical Studies where skills and knowledge gained in previously completed subjects (including BB502.306 Old Testament Introduction, BB503.306 New Testament Introduction, and BB524.306 Introduction to the Bible) are developed and applied in depth. The detailed shaping of the subject will be based on discussion and planning between each student and the academic appointed as their research project supervisor.
The planning process commences with an initial meeting between the student and the academic. This meeting will decide the broad content of the Biblical Studies topic. Following this meeting the student is to prepare an annotated bibliography related to the agreed topic.
A subsequent meeting between the student and supervising academic will review the annotated bibliography and then finalise the Biblical Studies topic. This meeting shall also confirm the method(s) of presenting the research paper.
The student shall then prepare a research paper on the agreed topic. The student shall then present the written paper in the format previously prescribed.
Teaching Strategies
The teaching method is supervision and support of the student who drives the research and shapes the method(s) of the project in consultation with the appointed supervisor.
