Standard

Postgraduate research and writing assumes an adequate grasp of the technology of scholarship and the attendant stylistic protocols. In any M.A. assessment piece, students must demonstrate:

  1. The ability to think outside a purely ideological or confessional viewpoint as reflected in their writing and choice of bibliographical material;

  2. Evidence of breadth of research, particularly with regard to primary source material;

  3. Evidence of reading across a range of viewpoints and the ability to report empathetically on them;

  4. Evidence of skills of analysis and written communication;

  5. The ability to assess critically (rather than just describe) existing scholarly work;

  6. Independence of thought and judgement in their critique, analysis and conclusions;

  7. The ability to argue for a position or a view rather than just state it as an assumption;

  8. The ability to accurately identify and understand the interconnecting structures of Christian knowledge;

  9. A growing ability to identify and understand the interconnecting structures between Christian knowledge and all knowledge; and

  10. The ability to appropriately synthesise from discrete aspects of knowledge.

Any essay not conforming to requirements will be returned by Administration for the student to rectify.
