Teaching General Biology for Nonmajors through Community Service Projects.
Phillips, Mary Wells
Journal of College Science Teaching, v26 n4 p253-57 Feb 1997
Describes the creation of a community-service option for biology nonmajors as part of the course requirements. The student had to relate the project to some aspect of biology. The goal was to teach students that learning science is an everyday occurrence, and that they can make a difference in their community. Program instructions and student journal entries are included.
