In order to sustain and build a growing awareness of community-based learning beyond general education, we began the practice of noting with a special icon in the class schedule those courses that have a community-based learning component. Students in each of these classes as well as faculty who teach them, and their community partners complete a questionnaire that provides a self-assessed view of course effects on student learning and on the achievement of the goals mutually defined by the community partner and the faculty member.
