Learning & Assessment Skills
It is very important for high school juniors and seniors -- including students from a diversity of ethnic and cultural backgrounds -- to be immersed in exercises and scholarly challenges that help them gain mastery on the English Language. Whether they seek careers as surgeons or professional truck drivers, they should leave high school with language skills -- including pronunciation, comprehension, and the ability to apply the language -- that will be the foundation of their competencies when it comes to communication. What they learn and how they are able to apply their knowledge will be assessed in this lesson.
Assessment and Lesson Plan -- AP World Hinduism
This class focuses on Advanced Placement World Religion, but in its revised format it will incorporate learning assessment features that are part of the class work and course expectations.

They will be assessed as to their grasp of the materials on a daily basis.
Objectives
Students will be asked to write creative essays -- using fictional characters but factual materials based on their understanding of Hinduism -- as part of the assessment that the instructor must assign.

It seems agreed on "universally" among Unitarians that

Christians believe at increasing the followers of their faith such that everyone in the world would have one religion.
