In general, to complete this cohort, you'll need to do the following each week:

• Watch the week's lecture from Dale Stoffer
• Watch any supplemental videos included
• Complete the required reading from the texts
• Participate in the week's discussion and (if applicable) live video chat

To complete the course, you'll be required to complete a final paper.

Write a 5-7 page paper that tells the Brethren story. Make sure to include key people and events, from the beginning of the Brethren movement to today. You may also include a section on the influences of the early Brethren but please keep this to no more than a page. As you include people and events in the story, make sure the rationale for inclusion. You may use outside resources if necessary but base most of the paper off information gleaned from course lectures, readings, and discussions.  

All assignments must show a blending of the course readings and the writer's experience of the readings and conversations with the larger cohort. The goal is to show that you can coherently articulate Brethren history.
