Reminders During the Semester

During the First Two Weeks
Consider arranging for a representative from the Office of Academic Service-learning to present in your class.

They will:

  • Explain the Academic Service-learning Program as if applies to your course.
  • Introduce and explain all documentation needed for the Academic Service-Learning   Program (logs, contracts, journal guidelines, etc.).
  • Present a sampling of the Community Service Sites that are available for their Academic Service-Learning Project.
  • Present to your students information concerning the Academic Service-Learning Service Fair.  (See We’re Here to Help You!)

At the Mid Semester Point

  • Remind your students to hand in completed contracts to the Office of Academic Service-learning
  • The Office of Academic Service-Learning will deliver copies of the completed contracts to faculty members along with a “Correction Sheet.”  The “Correction Sheet” should be circulated in your class so that students can document any changes from the original contract.
  • Faculty members are asked to please return the “Correction Sheet” to the Office of Academic Service-Learning so that updates can be made to the semester database.
  • The Office of Academic Service-Learning will utilize the new information on the “Correction Sheet” in order to make follow up phone calls to the Community Service Sites in order to verify student placements.

During the Last Two Weeks of Class

  • Collect the completed time logs from the students participating in Academic Service-Learning.
  • Inform students about the Academic Service-Learning Essay Contest.   Forward student entries to the Office of Academic Service-Learning in Bent Hall Garden Level - Reception area.
  • “Academic Service-Learning Student and Faculty Evaluation Forms”  will be forwarded to you through interoffice mail.  These forms will also be posted on the Web.  Distribute the forms to students for completion.  Complete the faculty evaluation form.  Send all evaluation forms back to the Office of Academic Service-Learning in Bent Hall Garden Level - Reception area.
