You will be tested on the material that we have covered by the exam date. You will have four multiple choice exams. You may NOT drop your final exam grade. You could design a placement of your own, subject to my approval. The purpose of your 10 hours of community service is to expose you to some of the problems that non-middle class people confront.
Students report that their participation is extremely rewarding.
Be very clear about the time you are willing to give and follow through on it. If you are the kind of person who enthusiastically starts more projects than you can handle, please don't add field work for this course to your list of partially-done activities. You will have a much easier time writing it if you take some short notes after each visit. Attach your supervisor-signed sheet of paper declaring your hours, along with a telephone number for your supervisor so that I can randomly verify placements. In the beginning of the paper convey some basic information about what you did and the people you did it with.
