submit a 4–5 page paper in which they describe their experience with these disciplines.
  1. Throughout the course, the students will be reading David Mathis’ Habits of Grace: Enjoying Jesus Through the Spiritual Disciplines. This book outlines different spiritual disciplines (called habits) that foster spiritual growth. As they read the book, the students will attempt to participate in 6 of these spiritual disciplines, with at least one from each of the main categories described in the book (Word, Prayer, and Fellowship).

    The students will submit a 4–5 page paper in which they describe their experience with these disciplines. The paper will consist of an introduction, 6 sections (one for each of the disciplines the students participated in (half-page minimum)), and a conclusion. Each section will a.) describe what the discipline is (according to Mathis) and b.) reflect on the students’ own experience in practicing the discipline.

    The paper should be double-spaced, in Times New Roman 12 pt. font, and with 1” margins all around.

Explain IT project management and how that information can aid you in your current or future career.

1.  Summarize strategic planning in your own words. Illustrate your summary by using real-world examples of tools you have seen used effectively in strategic planning.

2.  Imagine you are an information technology (IT) project manager in your city. Explain IT project management and how that information can aid you in your current or future career.

3.  Consider the scenario below.

A lively discussion is under way at Sunrise Software, where you are a project manager. The main question is whether the person-days concept has limitations. In other words, if a task will require 100 person-days, does it matter whether two people in 50 days, five people in 20 days, 10 people in 10 days, or some other combination that adds up to 100 performs the work?

Two programmers on the project seem to think it doesn’t matter. On the other hand, one of the project’s systems analysts says it is ridiculous to think that any combination would work. To support his point, this extreme example was offered: Could 100 people accomplish a task estimated at 100 person-days in one day? (Tilley, 2020, p. 80)

write a creed on the Christian faith.

Critical Assignment: Personal Creed (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

For the Critical Assignment the students will write a creed on the Christian faith. A creed (from the Latin, credo, “I believe”) is simply a statement of belief, or a doctrinal summary. The creed in this case will include two components: it will express the beliefs of evangelical Christianity as presented in the course material (lectures and readings), but it will also express the students’ own personal beliefs and reflections on the course material. The lectures and the Morgan book will be important resources for this assignment.

The creed should be divided into 8 sections:

  1. Scripture and Truth
  2. God, the Holy Trinity
  3. Humanity and Sin
  4. The Person of Christ
  5. The Work of Christ
  6. Soteriology
  7. Ecclesiology
  8. Eschatology

For each of these 8 sections, the students will include 2 sub-sections:

1.) 1–2 paragraphs on the beliefs of evangelical Christianity on the doctrine in question. By “Evangelical Christianity,” I simply mean conservative, gospel-believing Protestantism, that is, the viewpoint expressed in the lectures. This section is more objective, and you will be graded on the accuracy and thoroughness of your presentation of the evangelical view. For each section, be sure to include a minimum of three scripture references in parentheses that support the beliefs in question.

2.) 1–2 paragraphs on your own personal beliefs and reflections on the doctrine in question. If you are in fundamental agreement with the course material, you may choose to reflect on the significance of the doctrine for your own personal faith and practice. Or you may choose to register some disagreement with the doctrine in question or to interact critically with the course material. This is your chance to reflect upon what you believe and why you believe it. As such, this section is more subjective. Disagreement will not be penalized, but you will be graded on the thoughtfulness of your interaction.

All Scripture citations should include book name, chapter, and verse(s) (e.g. John 3:16; Genesis 1:1–12, etc.). If citing a book, please include last name and page number (e.g. Morgan, 30). You do not need to cite any sources beyond the Morgan book, but if you do use other academic sources (in print or online), be sure to cite them. Plagiarism is taken very seriously in higher education; so do not use any material that is not your own without proper citation.

Use the template provided in week 8 (there is no need to make this assignment conform to MLA or APA style). Be sure to add a title page the document with relevant information. See the rubric attached to the assignment in week 8 for more details on how the creed will be assessed
