Requirements for Participation

Teaching Biblical Studies in an Undergraduate Liberal Arts Context


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We invite proposals for a session discussing the ways biblical studies, as a humanities field, remains an appropriate field of study in a higher education system that is increasingly focused on maximizing the career potential of its undergraduates. How can we move beyond the default argument that biblical studies and the other humanities fields are relevant because they teach students “critical thinking”? What more can we offer? We also invite proposals for an open session, especially proposals suggesting various creative ways instructors of biblical studies courses might assess the full range of student performance. What techniques might best gauge and evaluate improvement in student skills and abilities beyond mastery of the subject content of the course?
