SOC 273H Honors Service Learning
(Contact Hours: 3) This course will expose students to the pedagogy of service learning while actively engaging in community service. Through reflective journal writing, class discussions, and critical incident reports, the students will explore their own reactions to service work and their future vocational goals. Through films, books, papers, and discussion, they will identify deeper social issues which are raised by the work and engage in various cultures which make up our community. By participating in the process of service learning, they will help create a caring community and learn how to replicate that process in other settings. This is a KVCC Honors Program course. It provides qualified and highly motivated students with an enriched academic environment through high-impact educational practices and experiential learning in a community of scholarly minded peers. Honors course sections facilitate additional academic challenge and lively interaction with peers and faculty members in small classes. PREREQUISITE: Writing and Reading -- minimum benchmarks will be enforced.
