What is the purpose of this course?

Completing this course will help you become a better disciple of Jesus Christ. Along the way, these lessons and activities can help you:

explain distinct teachings of the Book of Mormon,
experience a change of heart in your own discipleship, and
gain new skills to learn, live, and share the gospel.

How will I know if I'm making progress?

An Assess Your Learning lesson

Every few weeks there will be an Assess Your Learning activity to help you evaluate your progress. These activities use an online quiz tool, but they are not tests. These activities can help you reflect on what you have learned during the last few weeks. I will see your responses so I can guide your learning but no peers will ever see your responses.

What will we do each week?

A typical Canvas module containing a week's learning activities

Each week begins with a Class Community space. There you can get to know me and your peers and talk about whatever you like throughout the week.

At least once each week, we'll hold a Class Gathering outside of Canvas. For those lessons, there won't be anything to do in Canvas. Follow the directions on the home page to attend the class gathering.

For the rest of the week, open and complete the lessons in Canvas. In some lessons you will get to post a comment to a class-wide discussion board. See what your peers share! In other lessons you will get to share your thoughts with only me, your teacher. Each lesson contains all the instructions you need to complete it.

How do I complete this course?

There are four things you need to do to complete this course:

attend at least 75 percent of the class gatherings,
complete at least 75 percent of the lessons and activities in Canvas,
read the required scripture passages, and
complete the Doctrinal Mastery Assessment.

But any time you spend studying the scripture can help you become a better disciple of Jesus Christ!
