What kind of assignments or reflection projects would work best with a service learning based course?
Robin Kolodny of Temple University suggests asking students to write a journal about their experience. Their journals will encourage students to regularly reflect on their service-learning experience and its application to the coursework. In addition, faculty can more easily and quickly identify problems with a particular service project or student. Their journal will be a useful tool in writing an in-depth final research paper. In addition to readings, team projects, case studies, and oral presentations would be appropriate assignments for this type of course as they would encourage students to demonstrate to the instructor and to share with rest of the class the conceptual connections they made between their service experiences and the course.
