Product Description
In What to Expect in Seminary, Virginia Samuel Cetuk looks at the various facets of theological education -- the call to ministry, classroom learning, community life, field education, financial realities, time-management challenges -- through the lens of spiritual formation. In each chapter she challenges readers to view the particular topic as an avenue to spiritual growth instead of as an obstacle to the same. Offering readers the conceptual tool of reframing, she draws upon psychology, Scripture, and her many years' experiences in theological education to help readers see both the challenges and the rich opportunities of theological education related to ministry and spiritual formation. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Experiencing Seminary Shock?
If you are a new seminary student wondering what you've been hit with, or if you are just considering seminary enrollment, then this book is what you need. It will help you get mentally and emotionally prepared for the demands of seminary study and help you avoid the crash and burn associated with misguided expectations of the demands.

I wish I had read it at the beginning of my first year instead of at the end.

3-0 out of 5 stars Some helpful parts, but mostly common sense
While this book has an admittedly limited audience, Cetuk offers a fairly thorough guide here for prospective seminary students.While much of the issues contained are probably things most people have thought through, there are some helpful suggestions.If you are entering seminary soon or considering applying, it will be worth your time to skim this book and find the parts most relevant to you and your situation.Recommended with the disclaimer that most readers will likely only glean something from one or two sections.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great expectations...
Virginia Samuel Cetuk, an associate dean at Drew Theological School, put together this book in the hope that potential seminarians would gain some insight into what happens in a seminary setting.Cetuk set for herself a difficult task -- there are many different kinds of seminaries, different kinds of programmes at these seminaries, and different kinds of people enrolling in them.

Seminaries strive for community; some succeed better than others, but most have a continuing struggle to maintain a community setting -- in this regard, it matches many church settings, who have to continually work at maintaining community.But often the students feel they are alone (from my own seminary experience, I can testify that many feel this way) -- they feel lost, they question the appropriateness of the tasks of seminary education, they question their vocation and their hierarchies (both church and seminary).There are an increasing number of second-career seminarians, which means the students have been out of school for a time (some as long as twenty to thirty years), so the idea of regular reading, writing, research and study is daunting.

Cetuk looks at many practical issues, from time management and money management to how to approach courses in different disciplines.Being experienced with ATS-accredited seminary curriculum, her guidance here applies broadly -- most every seminary will require courses in Bible, church history, systematic and philosophical theology, culture, ethics, pastoral ministries and practical ministries.Some may have more of a direct applicability than others, but all are important in different ways (which is why the many schools of the Association of Theological Schools agree that these broad topical groupings are important components of the overall curriculum) -- Cetuk explores the different disciplines and relates them to the overall concept of ministry.There are some that could use a bit more development (given the reaction I've had in systematic theology classes I've taught, much more convincing needs to be done to show the worth), but overall it is a good development in the chapter dealing with classroom learning.

Cetuk also looks at the overall issue of call -- what is a call to ministry, and how does seminary help this call become something we call 'ministry'?Students come to seminary for a variety of reasons -- to try to experience God, because they have a desire to serve others, in order to grow spiritually, etc.Some students come for healing (of one sort or another) -- this is not always appropriate, but it is often difficult to determine.Most often, the reasons are a mixture of impulses and desires.Cetuk develops this along with historical ideas (she looks at Luther's idea of faith, vocation and priesthood; she looks at other denominations' ideas of ministry and ordination) as well as her own personal experiences.

Cetuk designed this book so that it might be useful as a course or a primer at the beginning of seminary (or perhaps a summer session orientation).It has some exercises for reflection at the end of the chapters, and includes appropriate prayers -- something any seminary student (and teacher, and administrator) will need!

3-0 out of 5 stars A hollow defense against seminary criticism
As an entering seminarian I was hoping for real advice and insight into the seminary experience.This book was poorly written ad read like a defense against criticism of seminary education.The audience was not entering seminarians in my opinion.In fact, this read more like a doctoral thesis.I bought this book used and still feel that I was ripped off.It offered nothing new or unusual.What a dissapointment.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good reading for prospective seminary students
"Theological education is not about learning, it is about change." This statement, not original with the author of this book, is nevertheless the most important sentence in "What to Expect in Seminary." The goal in moderate-to-liberal mainline seminaries is change, and just how the student will respond makes all the difference. She/he will be challenged with new ways of thinking, which may seem threatening to her/his faith. This book makes an attempt to equip the prospective student with a proper mindset to regard theological education as spiritual formation. Every aspect of seminary life is covered, from classroom to community life to financial and time management. I wish this book had been available when I first attempted seminary 25 years ago, and I'm glad to have it now when I am once again preparing to further my theological education. ... Read more

Product Description
Effective Grading is written for the faculty member who believes the grading process is a valuable measure of student learning. This hands-on guide for evaluating student work offers an in-depth examination of the linkage between teaching and grading. It uses grades not as isolated artifacts, but as part of a process that, when integrated with course objectives, provides rich information about student learning. The authors reveal how the grading process can also be used for broader assessment objectives, such as curriculum and institutional assessment. As practical as it is informative, Effective Grading contains a wealth of special materials, including AAHE's Principles of Good Practice for Assessing Student Learning, types of assignments and tests, and a plan for a faculty workshop on grading and assessment. In addition, the book provides background to the principles of the grading process as well as a wealth of illustrative examples, offering faculty both a sound basis in assessment theory and the practical tools they need to put it to work.

4-0 out of 5 stars Almost a Grade-A Guide to Grading
While it may not seem like it to students, grading is a very complex exercise for teachers and instructors. Anyone hoping to go into that line of work will have to learn about how complex and uncertain the art of grading can be, and this book is a strong compendium of current theory on such matters. An especially valuable aspect of this book is its coverage of the different schools of thought on whether grading is really an accurate assessment tool at all, and how all parties in the education process (students, teachers, administrators, parents, employers) have different conceptions of the usefulness and value of grades. But while this book is hugely informative at the practical level, beware of a few larger theoretical weaknesses. Frequently, certain practices that are currently held in high esteem become overused examples of larger concepts. The most glaring example is the inaccurately-titled chapter "Establishing Criteria and Standards for Grading" which is entirely about just one method, Primary Trait Analysis. At a higher level, this book assumes that all instructors will have the privilege of smaller class sizes, or welcoming administrative environments, in which experimenting with grading methods is possible or practical at all. Meanwhile this book (and many others like it) fails to distinguish between future advancements in theory and the real world in which such theories and practices have yet to be implemented on any appreciable scale.

5-0 out of 5 stars Good resource
A good resource for faculty.Well written with nice integrated examples.I always recommend this book to faculty looking to develop rubrics for their teaching.

5-0 out of 5 stars A book every teacher should read
Do you love to teach but hate the grading process?That's where I was when I picked up this book.Very practically written, "EffectiveGrading" shows you how to choose the proper grading model for a class,how to motivate students through properly communicating your gradingsystem, and how to structure your assignments to increase student learning. All this while drastically reducing the amount of time you need to spendon grading papers.Within a week of reading this book, I've made somedrastic changes in my courses which will benefit both my students andmyself.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for college teachers
I admit I was skeptical when I started this book--so many pedagogically oriented texts seem to sacrifice content and standards for "feel-good" solutions to education. However, I have found thisbook to offer excellent suggestions for every aspect of structuring classesto teach and evaluate what you most want your students to learn. In mycollege English classes, I've used variations of Primary Trait Analyses andGateway Criteria and they have made a big difference in the levels ofthinking and writing in my own students. Giving students specificguidelines allows them to focus on what's important about the assignment,set their priorities appropriately, and makes things much easier for mewhen the time comes for grading. I highly recommend this book. ... Read more
