Neff & McMinn Paper, Parts A, B, and C
This Neff & McMinn assignment is a large component of your grade for this course (300 points total), and it is done in three parts: A, B, and C. These three parts (a, B, and C) will be completed at the end of Week 4 (Part A), Week 6 (Part B), and Week 7 (Part C). Please keep the following overarching things in mind as you complete this assignment:
- You will significantly interact with the Neff & McMinn (2020) text and the issues that are raised in each chapter.
- Based on the idea that “integration is conversation” from Neff & McMinn (2020), as a graduate student, you will incorporate other concepts and ideas you have encountered in this course, in your faith journey, in your work experience, and in other areas of your life. The goal here is that you will not merely regurgitate issues in a book report form, but that you will think deeply about how what you are reading in Neff & McMinn (2020) relates to other ideas you can bring to the table. Bringing in ideas from Scripture, from the ACA Code of Ethics (latest edition), from previous textbooks and courses, from other materials in this course (such as the Hawkins & Clinton text) and from your personal and work experience are all fair game and highly encouraged. Creativity is encouraged as you engage meaningfully with these ideas. Please bear in mind, however, that this is an academic paper, and not a paper where you use slang, overly religious jargon, etc.
- You will not only have an opportunity to interact intellectually with the concepts that are in the Neff & McMinn (2020) text, but you will have an opportunity at the end of Part C (Week 7) especially to share how your own spiritual formation has been impacted by what you have read in Neff & McMinn and in this course.
So with that backdrop, here and the directions for your assignment in three parts:
