The Learning Model / Step 1: Prepare

Students prepare academically and spiritually for each class.

How To Prepare To Learn

Students complete reading assignments, participate in pre-class discussions and bring questions to share. Their preparation, combined with guidance from the instructor, provides an opportunity to develop their ideas and broaden their learning.
