There are three points I want to make that differ slightly from the syllabus:

1. 10-15 verses is not a fixed number. If the passage you choose to reflect on is somewhat shorter (say, 5-10 verses) that is okay. The point of the exercise is not to fill 4 pages of a journal on a single passage but to reflect carefully on your selection. 2-3 verses may be too few, but I am not against anyone choosing less than 10 verses, so long as you demostrate careful reflection.

2. The syllabus/expectation is that you are doing these for every day you have a scripture reading, and the process will no doubt lead to careful reflection on the passage, but I will only ask you to submit one example of your choosing for each week that the Illuminated Manuscript is due. That is, you choose which day/passage in Romans for which you want to submit an illuminated manuscript for assesment, I will not be checking all of them or checking them at random.

3. Use the assessment at the end of the instructions as a guideline, but again, for where it states "I expect that you will have at least 4 contributions from each author" I find that to be too high a number. 4-8 total would certainly be enough for full credit, the goal here is showing engagement with the textbooks.
