Service Learning Component (Optional)

"Service learning is a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs (defined by the community) together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote student learning and development. Reflection and reciprocity are key concepts of service-learning."
                                                                Barbara Jacoby, 1996.

This class gives you the opportunity to do Service Learning by assisting in the UI Tutxinmipu Pow  Wow, the UI Jazz Festival, or tutoring students on the Coeur d'Alene Reservation. Students who participate will produce a Reflective essay illustrating what meaning they gained from the experience as connected to our course. If you participate in the SL component of the course your Final Project Paper will be 4-6 pages in length, rather than 8-10 pages. Please speak to me if you are interested.
