Time constraints (for faculty/instructional staff): How do I fit something entirely new into a course with a full syllabus?
• Academic service-learning is not an add-on to the current requirements of your course. As you begin to incorporate it into your teaching, some of your traditional teaching techniques may be replaced with more dynamic learning activities. Instructors note that additional “prep time” in excess of the norm is generally required for s-l courses; however, the higher levels of student engagement in their courses more than make up for any extra time they spend doing the initial planning. Morgridge Center Service-Learning Fellows can provide assistance with many of the initial administrative tasks associated with developing an academic service-learning component or course.
