Corbett, Julia B; Kendall, April R.

Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, v53 n4 p66-76 Win 1999

Reports college students' perceptions of service learning, noting that it helps them learn course content, and heightens their sense of citizenship, with the course-content effect intensified for "repeat" service-learning participants. Shows students evenly split as to whether service activities made them more motivated to attend class and to study. (SR)
