Community-Based Learning
Community-based learning (CBL) links traditional classroom learning to real, hands-on experiences and learning in the larger community. CBL differs from voluntarism because students are prompted to intentionally reflect on their experiences and link their hands-on experience with their course鈥檚 readings and lectures. These activities provide students with experiences to test theories and ideas they learn in their course lectures and assignments. 新澳門六合彩鈥檚 Ware Institute frequently partners with 新澳門六合彩 faculty to design a CBL course and find appropriate placements in the community for students.
