QEP Goals for DBMM

March 6, 2011

Drs. Rodney Ashlock, Chris Hutson, & Jeanene Reese

1.       Third Year Greek: A goal for third year Greek is to actively engage students in scholarly research that leads to possible publication. An excellent example of meeting this goal is demonstrated by third year students from 2009-10 who chose to continue their research over the summer and published an article in a peer-reviewed journal: Curt Niccum, Joel Brown, Benjamin Covington, Eric Gentry, Jacob Lollar, and Joshua White, “Objects of Worship: Wallace’s Case for Proskynein,” Restoration Quarterly 51 (2009) 115-119.

2.       Senior Capstone Experience: A goal for this course/experience, currently awaiting discussion and vote by the DBMM faculty, is for students to do an independent research project based on personal interest or future ministry. This project is intended to be both research based and solution oriented. Excellent papers could possibly be presented at conferences and published in any number of journals depending on the area of ministry investigated.

3.       Upper Level Majors: A goal for upper level majors is to expose them to scholarly research by encouraging them to attend various conferences that represent disciplines taught with in the department. Two possibilities are the regional or national meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature or the American Academy of Religion.
