Grades Are Done

I just submitted my grades for my online English 101 summer session course. The research paper topic was "Spirituality" and there were interesting papers- "The Catholic Church and the Bible," "Mixed Marriages of Different Faiths," "Pope Paul's Ministry to the Catholic Youth of the World," "Scientific Evidence That Prayer Works," "The Media's Inaccurate Portrayal of Islam," "Sports and Religion," etc.

I chose the topic because I wanted to give students the opportunity to discuss their questions and beliefs and learn about the faith of others. At secular colleges, there isn't much opportunity since a great many instructors purposely stay away from the topic of personal faith.
