E-Tutorials use email as the sole mechanism for communication between the student and the Graduate Theological Foundation faculty. Each course is taught as a one-on-one tutorial between the student and the faculty person offering the course. This curriculum is offered exclusively by our own faculty. The faculty evaluation of student performance will be linked to the degree level of the student. A complete roster of E-Tutorial courses are available on the GTF’s website here. New courses are regularly added to this roster.
New courses are regularly added to the E-Tutorial course list.
The student reads the assigned textual materials and emails a 500-1000 word response to the GTF for each of six sessions. The faculty person sends a personal critique and comment on each of the student’s response papers, and, at the end of the six sessions, the student submits a final paper which is essentially the six combined 500-1000 word papers which the student has edited in light of the faculty person’s critical comments during the course. The final paper must include a bibliography.
Students may take a maximum of two E-Tutorials concurrently.
