Like volunteering? How does that work? How much time will this take?" Excellent questions! A central idea behind service learning and community engagement is something called "reciprocity". In other words, everyone contributes and everyone receives something of comparable value."Volunteering" is often one-sided: it's usually time given to someone or something to address a perceiveddeficiency, and volunteering rarelyexamines systemic issues or complexities within social systems.Service-learning is a form of knowledgemaking that attempts to examine complexities through experiential learning and community involvement.We want to learn from and with the community. This requires us to be outin the community. Some of these community outings will be guided. Most, however, will be self-directed. During the first couple of weeks, we'll catalog personal interests and then explore possiblecommunity partners basedupon those interests. As far as how much time this will require... while much of that depends on the ideas you choose to pursue and which community organizations you choose to partner with, I'll be honest: service learning takes a little more time than non-servicelearning courses. BUT! We'll have waysto compensate for the time commitments (like having servicedays instead of class meetings). However, plan on 10-20 hours OUTSIDE of class. The Course Schedule is posted on Canvas. Look at it often! Readings and assignmentsshould be completed before class on the duedate. The Writing Center islocated in Clare Hall,Room 021. Do you want to visit them? Heck yes you do! Things best to avoid: -Missing class-Plagiarism -Unprofessionalism You'll be given a handout& rubric for each major assignment. Generally, all assignmentsshould be submittedthrough Canvas.

A Word About Attendance: ! Look-- you gotta come to class. Missing three classes for unexcused reasons WILL result in a grade reduction. 6 or moreunexcused absences WILL result in an F. First Three Weeks' Schedule 101-E: MWF 101-L: T&R The key word here is "unexcused." Unexpectedly abducted by aliens? A once-in-life-timeopportunity arises to drive cross-country in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile? A scheduled academic or athletic trip? We've all been there. Come talk to me and we'll work it out. Since we're talking about attendance:Please, please, please... if you tell acommunity partner you'll be there, thenbe there when you said you would be(seriously, pretty please?).

More details will follow... M 9/1: WEEK 3: This question always seems to come up:"How hard do you grade?" It's a fair question I suppose, but I hope one of the things you learn by the end of this class is that it's the wrong question. You've probably had enough writing intensive classes to maybe develop a give-the-teacher-what-the-teacher-wants approach to graded writing, yeah? I don't want us to do that in this class. Instead, I want you to compose based on series of choices and decisions-- what do you want to accomplish? What does the audience expect? Oh, and also, I'm an extremely unmerciful grader. Haha, just kidding. (or am I?)
