SLRN 295 - Problem-Based/Project-Based Service Learning

Description:Students participating in this model of service learning relate to the "community" somewhat like "consultants" working for a "client" for the purposes of addressing a specific problem or participating in or completing a service project. Under supervision and direction of the instructor who develops the course in consultation with appropriate stakeholders from the community or from a social service agency, students work collaboratively and in teams throughout the semester or for a designated period to understand the scope of the problem or need and to develop strategies and activities appropriate for addressing the problem or need. Students are expected to maintain logs of all project- or problem-related activities, to practice reflective learning through journaling, to develop and present to stakeholders a formal proposal or action plan for addressing the problem or need, and/or to complete a service learning project. Repeatable - 3 times.
