Group Project in Community Development and Change II

Catalog description

The Group Project constitutes three terms, each of which is worth four semester hour credits. Working together in groups of two to five members, learners identify a problem in a given community and design an action research plan to address it. The Group Project provides the opportunity to be directly involved in grass roots work to impact a community’s social dynamics and to practice the methodological skills acquired in HUSB 305. Learners’ responsibilities include needs assessment and analysis, history of the issue and of the community, group development, problem framing and solving, formative and summative evaluation, and the practice skills needed to implement the project.
