Assignments and Evaluation

1. Group work:

a. An Agreement on Methodology and Timeline (AMT), due Thursday, 2/11;

b. Additional group-generated readings for the project, due Thursday 2/18;

c. An updated AMT, due Tuesday, 3/30;

d. A methodology section, due Tuesday, 4/6;

e A literature review, due Thursday, 4/8;

f. An outline of your report, due Tuesday, 4/13;

g. A first draft of your group report, due Friday, 4/23 (AFWP, FSCC) or Monday 4/26 (MARC, RVS), 10% of grade;

g. The final report, due Friday, 5/14, 30% of grade.


2. Individual work:

a. Field notes/journal entries and Journal Summaries: You are expected to make field notes (called “journal entries” in some of the readings) each time you do any kind of work related to the course: readings, meetings, primary research, thinking about the issues, etc. We will discuss the finer points of field notes and journal writing in class.

A copy of your notes from the week will be handed in every Tuesday beginning February 2 (except as noted on the syllabus). Please type these; you may want to keep a copy for yourself (though they will generally be returned the following class).

You will exchange your field notes of the week with other members of the class on February 16 (so, on the day only, don’t write anything you don’t want others to read).

Your February 23 entry must be an analysis of group process within your group; these will serve as the basis for our discussions on February 25 (but anything you write will be confidential; unlike the February 16th exchange of notes, only I will see these).

Field notes form the basis for your Journal Summaries. Journal Summaries are 5-8 page papers in which you look back at your field notes and analyze the major issues in light of the literature we’ve read on Community Research. They will be handed in twice: Friday, 3/5, and Friday, 5/7. Each will count for 15% of your grade.

Journal summary 2 must include a section in which you discuss the social roots of the issue, problem, or situation your group has investigated, and how your group work affects (or doesn’t affect) those roots. You may find Eyler & Giles’ discussion of the “What?/So What?/Now What?” progression helpful here.
b. A self-evaluation of your work, 10% of grade;
c. Peer evaluation, 20% of grade.
