Certificate of Completion

All Corinne True Center courses are open to all people who can access the online courses and materials. We are very happy to have you in this course, and you should know that you are welcome to engage with the course to the extent you wish, as all levels of engagement are welcome.

However, if you want a certificate of completion, the Corinne True Center for Baha’i History has decided that its students need to complete a project (research paper or PowerPoint), in addition to completing the readings and forum posts, and participating in the Zoom meetings. This involves the following steps:

1. Email your mentor (usually assigned in the first or second week of the course) and indicate that you plan to work towards a certificate of completion. You should propose your project within two weeks of the assignment of a mentor.
2. The project can be either a PowerPoint or a research paper about the subject of the course or some aspect of it.
3. The research paper should be 10 pages in length, including a cover page and a bibliography page. For more advanced courses (“300 level”) the paper should be 10-20 pages. If the paper will be more than 20 pages long, the mentor needs to approve (as s/he may not wish to read something longer). It should cite its sources using author, date, and page number in parentheses. For Baha’i authoritative texts it should cite the author, title, and page number or (preferred) the web link at https://www.bahai.org/library/authoritative-texts/.
4. The PowerPoint should have a cover slide, cite sources, if any are used, and include a Bibliography slide at the end. The slide length should be 15 to 30 slides inclusive (for “300 level” courses, 30 slides or more).
5. The project should be proof read and spell checked. Proper Baha’i transliteration should be used.
6. The project should be submitted to the mentor by the end of the course. S/he will offer comments and notify the Director of the Corinne True Center by email that the student should receive a certificate of completion. Particularly good projects may receive the designation “outstanding.”

In addition we request that all students complete the participant survey at the end of the course. The survey is anonymous. The Corinne True Center will issue the Certificate of Completion at the end of the grace period,
