PSY 337 - Service Learning in the Behavioral Sciences
Credit(s): 3
This course provides a unique opportunity for students to examine various factors (i.e. parenting, social connections, poverty) that either promote or inhibit optimal development. Students will learn through rigorous classroom preparation (readings of empirical literature, seminar discussion, and written reflection) and community engagement (spending two hours per week at an organization in the Saint Louis community). Students will be exposed to fundamental theories and articles and learn to become conscientious consumers of research and understand risk and resilience in the context of the entire lifespan. This 3-credit hour course involves both community-based learning and service learning. This course is scheduled to meet twice a week. Students will attend weekly class sessions during which they will critically discuss major social issues and empirical articles. During the second class session of each week students will commit to volunteering two hours. SP
