How can service-learning
be incorporated in student grades?
Reflection
Reflection is typically graded by
completion. Faculty feedback indicated that a check,
check plus, check minus grading system works well.
Grades are based on completeness, the level of
thought portrayed in the writing and detail about
the service-learning experience.
Service Participation
At minimum, a verification of student
participation should be required to give students
participation credit. Community partners are able to
verify student service hours. Some faculty also
incorporate feedback from community partners about
individual student performance in final grades.
While
community partners should not directly grade student
work, their feedback can be incorporated by the
faculty member in determining student grades for the
service-learning project.
