Student Expectations
LeTourneau University strives to provide an educational setting that is distinctive. In addition to academic pursuits, LeTourneau University is committed to the total development of its students. Standards have been established to provide the framework for an environment that is conducive to personal, social, and spiritual growth.
A student’s enrollment at LeTourneau University involves a moral agreement with the university that the behavioral guidelines will be followed as a matter of each student’s personal honor. The administration, faculty, and staff have a deep sense of responsibility and desire that significant personal and spiritual growth will occur in the life of each student.
The student should budget sufficient time and attention to the course so that each completed assignment reflects his/her best effort.
The student will indicate his/her agreement with the terms and requirements of the course by participating in the first week's assignments.
Written assignments should conform to the University's required style guide. (NOTE: your instructor may require a specific format for submitted materials, so be sure to confirm with your instructor what is required for written assignments.) The guide required by the university is taken from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. It is known as the APA Style Guide. (Here is a reference source for it and a checklist to use as a review of your work before you submit it. These were prepared by M. Plonsky, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point) In addition, spelling and grammar should be carefully checked before submitting written assignments.
Postings in the Discussion Board each week are an important learning activity of the course.
Two types of posts are required each week. The two types are Spiritual Life Discussion Topic(s) and the content-related Discussion Topic(s)/Question(s). The student is expected to contribute actively to both discussions.
The textbook- and course-related notes may be used as resources for all assignments. The student is expected to monitor and submit all assigned work on or before the time it is due.
