2 What is Service-Learning? This is a way of learning that engages students with course objectives while addressing community needs.

3 Service-Learning at MCC  Professors decide to include Service- Learning as one of their methods for teaching the course.  The Service-Learning project is NOT in addition to the coursework, but rather it is part of the process. No additional work is added by this project.

4 Service-Learning Projects  These vary – they are designed by your Professor.  The number of hours for your project are determined by your Professor and are dependent on the amount of work you will be doing.  Your Professor will provide details on the Service- Learning project for your class.  This course is either Dedicated (all students participate) or Option (students give name to Professor if they want to co the Service-Learning project.)

5 CRJ Internship/HUM Fieldwork Forms  You will decide by a date determined at the beginning of the semester IF you want your internship/fieldwork to be considered Service-Learning. A Service-Learning Internship/Fieldwork form must be completed and submitted to the Center for Service-Learning by this date.  Note: CRJ Pac-Tac students just need to write Pac-Tac on the forms, it is not necessary to have the Site Supervisor fill out this form.  The Service-Learning internship/fieldwork forms were either issued to you at registration (along with your course contract, if applicable).  A form MUST be filled out each semester (even if you are serving at the same place).
