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.
