Service-Learning Course Revision Exercise

When redesigning a course to include service-learning, consider the following questions.

1. Overall goals for the course:

 

 

 

 

2. How would a service-learning component contribute to achieving the course's goals?

 

 

 

 

3. Kinds of service projects that would be appropriate to achieving #2? Which community partner(s)?
(Consider location, number of sites needed based on class size, service needed by community agency/reciprocity).

 

 

 

 

4. Type of service-learning component:
(Can choose to be mandatory, optional, long-term, short-term, teams or individual, credit lab, comps, internship)

 

 

 

 

5. Adjustments needed to the course's traditional reading list/requirements to integrate the service component and to help students reflect on their service experience:

 

 

 

6. Strategy to assess and evaluate the outcomes:

 

 

 

7. Logistics to consider: Transportation to get students to sites, agency involvement and supervision of students, how students will be prepared, any funding needed, issues of liability, etc.
