The exact number of hours will depend on the particular service students perform. After gaining some experience with their particular service organization, students will give an oral report and make a written or visual contribution to the class scrapbook. I will make contact with the various service organizations. Students must attend the lecture in which I explain the responsibilities of service-learning in order to participate in this portion of the course. If a student cannot attend the lecture, he or she must come to my office for a private orientation.
Many students find service-learning to be a valuable and enjoyable part of their education.
I hope at least half of the class will be able to participate in the service-learning component of the course. These books are unavailable at this time. There is a possibility the books will arrive later in the semester. I will make copies of readings for students. I must charge my own cost, since I must pay for the copies from my pocket.
