Assignment Stages of Grief Paper
This is a Collaborative Learning Community assignment.
The instructor will divide the class into groups and assign each group a religion other than Christianity to research.
Make a 5-7 slide presentation with speaker notes about other religions’ perspectives on evil and suffering. Your instructor will assign a religion to each group.
Address the following issues after conducting research on your assigned religion:
1- Explain your viewpoint on suffering (source and cause of suffering and solution).
2- Explain the grieving process.
3- Determine how to deal with grief (solution to deal with suffering).
Include a comparison of your assigned religion to Christianity. What sets your assigned religion apart from Christianity?
In addition to the Bible and the textbook, cite at least three to five academic resources to back up your claim (preferably from the GCU
Library). Incorporate the research in a scholarly, appropriate manner into your writing.
Select one team member to post the presentation to the “Suffering and Evil” thread in the Main Forum. Respond to at least one other presentation.

Your paper should be proofread. However, you should not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; doing so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers that contain a large number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, read it aloud and silently to make any necessary changes. It is frequently advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard typeface of 10 to 12 points (10 to 12 characters per inch). Papers with narrow margins or single spacing, as well as smaller or compressed type, are difficult to read. Allowing your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages is preferable to attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such “padding” attempts to lengthen a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be formatted neatly, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. Use white paper and dark ink when submitting hard copies. If your essay is difficult to read, it will be difficult to follow your argument.
