- Martin Lampert
- Course Size: 23 students
- Course Schedule: Tuesday and Thursday, 3:00 - 4:15 PM
- Description: (This is not a CBL Course – It’s a course with an optional service learning element to it) The students generally do three projects which involve short interviews or observations with two children. For the service component, the thought was that the students could work/tutor with elementary school children for one hour per week and as part of their tutoring work interview the children for their class projects. As part of their work with the elementary school child, they would do the basic interview projects plus reflections on how the material discussed in class applies to their interactions with the children tutored. As the students must interview two children for their term projects, the requirement may be that they can work with one or two children at the elementary school as possible. If they only work with one child at the elementary school, the second child that they use for their interview projects could be the child of a friend or a relative.
