For each video:

name the composer/performer of the work/song being featured
explain how the music functions in the scene (is it heard by the characters? does it underscore action? does it add to the mood?)
explain how you knew the music was diegetic or non-diegetic

First read the class notes for this week: Week 2 Christology Notes.

After reading the notes, please answer two of the following 3 questions (answers should be between 200-300 words long):

1. Whether you grew up in a religious environment or not, what do you remember your impression of Jesus being when you were young? What were you taught about Jesus? Were you taught he was God (a part of the Trinity)? Were you taught he was a myth? Or maybe a good, moral teacher? Explain how your were taught this.

2. In our notes, we looked at the evolution of the Christological title “Lord” through Israel’s Hebrew Scripture, the Septuagint (LXX), and the Christian New Testament. Even if you do not accept the claim of divinity for Jesus, do you find the argument that the Christian Church’s use of the title “Lord” indicates a belief in Jesus’ divinity plausible? Why / Why not?

3. In your opinion, what difference does the truth of the divinity of Jesus mean to the message of the Christian Church?

Provide appropriate headings.

Word count for initial post 500-700.

Around 80-85%% of the paper should be the body. Maybe even a bit more. So for every 10 pages, 1.5-2 pages are intro/conclusions, the rest is body. But, the body can contain a first section on Background, so the paper can contain a pretty substantial amount of historical development of the technology. In that case, the “Introduction” is really a summary of the why the topic is important and a brief synopsis of the body and conclusions. I have attached papers that can be used as sources for this paper as well.

Learnign about Qualitative Methods – Artificial Intelligence

To learn together about three different methods to collect qualitative data: Observations, Interviews, and Focus Groups.
To learn by teaching. This is a pedagogical tool that adds to your life skills in addition to knowledge on the subject matter,
To help each other cover the material by providing a helpful summary that everyone can understand.
To prepare you for next week’s activities.
To help you identify key elements to incorporate into your final project.

Pick one of the readings from the list below (there are eight readings. As a team, you don’t need to cover all of the readings; however, you NEED to cover the three topics: Observations, Interviews, and Focus Groups.)
Let your team members know in advance which reading you’ll be summarizing.
Post your summary on the discussion board
Your summary should
Start with a clear identification of the type of work, title, author, and main point in the present tense.
