Since academic attainment is not a component of WLI Phoenix training units, no grades are given for courses, events, or training experiences. There are no exams. Field research, apprenticeship, mentoring, and ministry experience are deemed as valuable as library research or classroom attendance. Self-evaluation papers are required to earn training units. This follow-up written homework allows students to process and summarize what they have learned and how it applies to their ministry. These papers become a part of the student’s permanent file.
