MEMORY WORK:
1.The Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree and the Certificate of

Biblical Studies must complete all memory work for their
respective level of study.
2.The student will write out their verses in front of, or quote them

to, their test administrator. There are verses due with the mid-term
test and final test.
a. If writing your verses, you need to bring your administrator

the Bible out of which you memorized so he can check your
written verses.
b. If quoting, you need to bring your test administrator the Bible

out of which you memorized to allow him to follow along.
He will record your memory work and report it to SIBI on the
Administrator Form.

RECALL:
As a student, you will retain more if you take notes during the class

and compile a notebook. This will also provide you with material for
future use in teaching and will require less relearning.
Learning involves not only understanding but also storing information

which can be recalled later and used. As much as 60% to 80% of the
material we hear during a one or two hour lecture is forgotten by the end
of that period if nothing is done to reinforce that learning. Preconditioning
the mind before studying to pick out certain points helps.

Immediately after a class and before dismissing some form of recall
should be utilized. This could even be a test which the students grade
themselves. (Not part of their SIBI class grade). The advantage is not a
grade, but the result of having to recall this information and hearing again

any part which has already been forgotten.
This recall should be entirely from memory. It would also be helpful
to have an occasional review or pop test over material learned in the

previous class in some form to recall from memory. Each time this is
done, the information will stay with the student longer.
The technique of group discussion is learned and effective

discussion takes time to build up. Members of a new class need time
to get acquainted and to lose their shyness. Because of the differences in
knowledge and personality some will be more outspoken than others. A
