DON’T FORGET THE
LINKED-CREDIT OPPORTUNITY!!!!!!!!
IT’S
NOT TOO LATE FOR Fall 07
Linked-Credit Program Description
What is it?
A one-credit,
Linked-Credit service-learning experience is ‘linked’ to a three-
or four-credit host course. Student and faculty of the host course
co-create the Linked-Credit course. Students apply course learning
in a real world setting.
Content:
-
15-20 hours of
service in an off campus, non-profit agency such as a school,
nature preserve, youth group, court, hospital, Y, recreation
program
-
A presentation,
paper, or another method in which students demonstrate what they
have learned
Service Definition:
By service Lasell
intends that a student provides activities, programs, and/or support
which directly benefits the non-profit agency. Generally
speaking, interviews and observations are not considered to be
direct service to the agency. (Please consult with Sharyn Lowenstein
for further clarification and ideas about Linked-credit
opportunities.)
Mechanics:
-
Student and
Faculty co-develop a one-page course syllabus; they agree upon a
service site and a method in which the student will demonstrate
his/her learning.
-
Student and
Faculty complete the Linked-credit Agreement form to which is
attached the one-page syllabus.
-
The syllabus and
Agreement Form are submitted by October 10, 2007 to Sharyn
Lowenstein, Center for Community-Based Learning, (Potter Hall)
in the box outside Professor Lowenstein’s office.
-
Professor
Lowenstein will expedite paperwork and the Registrar will assign
a course designation number.
-
The course is
added to the student’s course record for the Fall 07 semester.
-
The Linked-credit
course will receive its own grade as long as the student passes
the host course. The grade will be A through F.
