Extra Credit

For some reason 1st year students are receiving EXTRA CREDIT in Old Testament (Dear Dr. Strawn, we loved you, why didn’t you love us?) for attending chapel service. That’s like first year law students getting extra credit for going to a keg party, or first year medical students getting extra credit for driving a Lexus. Anywho, here are some activities other professors might consider for Extra Credit.

History of Christian Thought: Watch Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Better yet, write a sequel (because we all know Bogus Journey was, indeed, bogus) that involves run-ins with Augustine and Pseudo-Dionysius.

Ethics: Say something nice behind someone’s back.

Systematics: Bring up Process Theology at a dinner party without being instantly unfriended on Facebook by all others in attendance.

TTTE: Name 95 reasons why this is part of the curriculum.

Preaching: Use at least 3 Lady Gaga songs as sermon illustrations.

New Testament: Dress more casually than Dr. Johnson.

Con Ed: Work for free. Oh, wait…
