Library Resources
If you have not taken Advanced Theological Research (5990) or took it more than a year ago, go to the HST Web
site (www.hst.edu) for information concerning library services to students. Under the “library” tab you will find a
link to and instructions for searching the HST online catalog (called Quest). There are also instructions for using the
following databases available through the library: OCLC FirstSearch, EBSCOhost,Infotrac, and Religious and
Theological Abstracts. Contact the library for passwords to these databases. Also available are the research guides
distributed in 5990. These annotated bibliographies list basic tools you will find helpful in your research.
Academic Honesty:
Academic honesty is expected of all students at HST. Any form of cheating, copying, or dishonesty is unacceptable.
Plagiarism is another form of academic dishonesty that can be problematic because students are not always sure
what this involves. For a brief explanation with examples see: www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml

Credit Hour Workload
For every course credit hour, the typical student should expect to spend at least three clock hours
per week of concentrated attention on course-related work, including but not limited to time
attending class, as well as out-of-class time spent reading, reviewing, organizing notes, preparing
for upcoming quizzes/exams, problem solving, developing and completing projects, and other
activities that enhance learning. Thus, for a semester long three-hour course, a typical student
should expect to spend at least nine hours per week dedicated to the course. For intensive courses
like the present one, each week incorporates 36 hours in class. Thus, the student should prepare a
minimum of 108 hours prior to the weeklong session.
