Religious Studies Club
The Religious Studies Club is chartered to enhance the learning, recreational, and social opportunities for Religious Studies Students in particular and for the HSU community in general.
About the Club
You have found the RS web site. As you can see, this is mostly introductory information. RS Club ‘work’ takes place in the Tuesday meetings and on the RS Club Moodle site. All members — both voting and non-voting — have full access to these sites. In addition to the RS Club Moodle site, the RS Club also has two other Moodle sites.
The two other RS Moodle sites are dedicated to language learning using content-sequenced language discussions. One site is for Latin; the other site is for Biblical Hebrew.
If you want to join one or both of the no-credit, no-cost, language discussion(s), you simply need to attend a meeting and to register. You do not need to be a member of the RS Club. Once registered, you can then participate in any on-going language discussion. Or, you may initiate a new language learning discussion.
Everyone in the HSU community has ‘read’ access to all the RS Club Moodle sites.
HSU Community access process: The portal to these sites is at http://learn.humboldt.edu. When you are in the Moodle log-in page — the portal — do not attempt to log-in to the system. Instead, look for “login as a guest” below the login button. Click on “login as a guest”. A page containing a search function — Search courses — will appear. To access hyperlinks to the content-sequenced language discussions, Latin and Biblical Hebrew, type ‘content-sequence’ (without the apostrophes) into the search function box. Click on Enter. The two discussion groups will appear. Click on either. To access the Religious Studies Club Moodle site, type in ‘Religious Studies’ (without the apostrophes). The Religius Studies Club site will appear along with several other sites. Click on the Religous Studies Club. Once you are in the site of your choice, you will have full read privileges. As a non-member, you will not be able to comment on an ongoing discussion, or to start a new discussion.
Of course — as the Religious Studies Club is an academic club — civility in expression is an expectation; to be able to engage in respectful, thoughtful exchanges of ideas is a skill to be honed.
The social network — HSU RS Club on http://www.MySpace.com — is offered as a venue wherein the affective and the cognitive may embrace and dance their dance of congruence, their dance of uninhibited passion. It is also ‘off-campus’.
