Student Writing Seminar
This seminar is designed for new students to assist them in understanding expectations for graduate research papers as they begin seminary studies. We will cover basic information on research methodologies, proper documentation of sources, writing quality papers, and how to access library resources. The seminar is taught by three professors – Fortson, Cara and McMullen, who bring expertise from their respective fields of study – historical/theological studies, biblical studies, and library science.
