ATTENDANCE Attendance is expected at each and every class session.  You will indicate your attendance at the beginning of each class on an attendance sheet.  Any unexcused absence will result in grade deduction of one grade increment (e.g., B to B-) per class hour.  (Note: One class session equals three class hours.)  Students will be permitted one excused absence.  Any student absent during six class hours for any reason will not be eligible for a passing grade.  FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES IN HEBREW 1.  OT501 Concise and Comprehensive I Hebrew is the prerequisite for OT502 Comprehensive II Hebrew.  OT502 provides students with an even stronger foundation in Hebrew.  OT502 is the prerequisite for any Hebrew exegesis course or any other Semitic language (e.g., Biblical Aramaic). 2.  OT501 is a prerequisite for 700 level OT IBS courses. 3.  Asbury Seminary has a Hebrew Honor Society, Eta Beta Rho.  Students who earn a 3.0 or higher average in OT501 and 502 and intend to complete either a Hebrew exegesis or 700 level OT IBS course are eligible for membership. 4.  Hebrew reading groups meet regularly during the fall, spring and sometimes summer terms.  All skill levels are welcome. 5.  Anyone completing this course may read daily from the Hebrew Scriptures.
