This particular class did not have any discussion boards, or papers to write. That is not to say that the class was easy or un-fullfilling. On the contrary there were around five open book test/worksheets each week, and each one challenged you in a very good way.
In addition the textbook Music of the Bible was very informative, and opened my eyes as to what a major role music played in the Bible. I would recommend the class and the book to anybody.
Although the class was very good, the lack of discussion boards or papers to write, make it hard for me to submit anything here to my portfolio. Therefore, the only thing that I could submit was a worksheet from one of our tests. So here it is, and I'm sure that I don't have to worry about anyone copying my answers in a Bible School :) That would kind of defeat the whole reason for attending a bible college in the first place!!!
