Does CBL take too much class time?
You are still in charge of how class time is used. Students can reflect on the experience outside of class through journals, on Blackboard, in chat rooms, or in more formal papers. Research, however, indicates that devoting time in class to discussing experiences that emerge from the service will increase student learning and satisfaction with the course. If students experiences become a text for the class, participants will integrate what they are learning, make connections to course material, and listen to the experiences of others.
