HONR 22300 - Community Engagement
Credit Hours: 1.00 to 3.00. This course provides motivated students with the opportunity to earn academic credit for meaningful, sustained community-engaged extracurricular activities. Students enrolled in the course will draw on ongoing commitments such as service-learning projects, nonprofit partnerships, civic engagement initiatives, mentoring programs, advocacy work, or community-based research. The course emphasizes intentional learning through guided reflection, critical inquiry, and integrative thinking. Throughout the semester, students will situate their community engagement within broader social, cultural, ethical, and institutional contexts through engaging with frameworks for ethical community engagement, reciprocity, positionality, and impact assessment. Students will participate in structured reflection activities that connect their experiences to academic knowledge, personal values, and professional development. The course culminates in a substantial reflective essay in which students critically analyze their engagement, articulate learning gains, and assess the significance of their work for both them and the community.
Learning Outcomes
1. Analyze their community-engaged experiences using ethical, social, and civic engagement frameworks, as demonstrated in the final reflective essay. 2. Articulate personal and intellectual growth, including changes in perspective, skills, and values, through structured reflection culminating in the final essay. 3. Evaluate community impact and reciprocity, assessing both contributions and limitations of their engagement in the final reflective essay. 4. Analyze how they make decisions about complex choices in the community engagement process, and how theory and practice inform those decisions.
