KEEP TRACK OF YOUR TIME:
To record Service Learning time you must use the digital timesheet to log and document your service learning activity. This includes time you spend at or online with the service site, researching, gathering information, meeting with fellow students or agency representatives, and executing aspects of your service learning. Time should be recorded daily to log the start and end of each service assignment. Completed time logs are due twice per semester at midterm, October 8, and by the final day of class, December 5 for review and verification. Any time submitted after these dates will not be considered for service learning credit. If you have any problems or questions, please reach out right away to ttjasper@loyno.edu.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Students will engage in a service opportunity that allows them to reflect on it in terms of Christian Ethics praxis, and/or Catholic Social Teaching, and being able to articulate that in regard to specific experiences.
