Because this course involves working with a real community organization that has real needs for the research/information students in this course will provide, it is important that all students who register are committed to actively participating in this course. Students will be expected to devote approximately 18 hours per week to this course. Students should be prepared to engage in course activities for the full time commitment, including time spent reading, viewing content, completing assignments, meeting with community partners, communicating (e.g., checking/responding to email and course communication daily), and more. This will ensure that we have sufficient opportunities to learn, explore, and collaborate (peer-peer, student-instructor), advancing our research efficiently and effectively. *
