Thursday the 7th was a double teaching session day. We covered Genesis chapters 1-4 in the morning from 9:00-11:00 and then discussed Genesis chapters 5-11 in the evening from 7:00-9:00. This year the Genesis class has 37 students including 22 on Guam, 4 in Palau and 11 at the Chuuk Teaching Facility. I teach eight two-hour sessions at each of the three sites. The rest of the class is done on the internet by web research and resources, and threaded discussion. I think it is very positive for the students to have interaction with students from other islands and for the generally younger on-campus students to be involved in discussion with older non-resident students who are already working in regular jobs and ministry. Students also do their homework by email and take their quizzes on line. As the internet on the islands improves (still only dial-up internet on Chuuk, Yap and Palau) we plan to expand our on line offerings.
