PAF 101 Community Service
Opportunities
Director:
As a requirement for PAF 101, you must complete
5
hours of worthwhile off-campus community service.
The service must be performed after the first day of class and
must be done off campus in the Syracuse area,
and may not be a fundraising event.
The deadline for completing the service and handing in the
assignment on the next page is
Monday, November 3rd at 12:50 pm
(Click here for the
form).
Late submissions will be treated the same way as the late paper policy
for the course.
If you fail to complete the required five hours, you will lose 35
points from your Module 4 grade.

in which you can take part.

If you volunteer at a site not
listed, please fill out a
Community Service Approval Form. Please contact the site director 48 hours in
advance to doing your service.
-
Your best bet is to sign up for
PAF 110: Public Service Practicum.
You do 35 hours community service, attend four classes and
receive one credit. It
automatically takes care of your community service requirement for PAF
101, you get 10 extra credit points for community service, and helps you get admitted to the major.
*
Note: If a student has
previously taken and completed PAF110 before taking this course the
student will still have to complete the 5
hour community service
requirement for PAF 101 this semester. However the student may
receive 5 extra credit points if he/she writes a paragraph on what
community service project they worked on. Also the student may only
receive up to 10 more extra credit points for completing any extra
community service after the 5
hour
requirement.
-
Community
service required in other classes or student organizations (e.g. WRT 105, APO) may fulfill the 5 hour requirement,
but please fill out
the
Community Service Approval Form to be sure. However, you may
not use community service hours required in other classes or
organizations for extra credit points. To receive extra credit
points, you must go outside that class or organization and volunteer
elsewhere.
-
As soon as you have completed your service,
complete the Community Service Form, and write a page on the
experience. The page should relate one principle from Chapter 1-3
and one principle from Chapter 4 of Professor Coplin's book, How You
Can Help, to your community experience. IF YOU DO NOT WRITE A
SATISFACTORY PARAGRAPH, YOU WILL LOSE UP TO 10 POINTS FROM YOUR
MODULE 4 GRADE.-
If you
complete more than 5 hours, you can earn up to 10 points extra
credit points at the rate of 1 credit for every 2 extra hours of
community service. To get the extra credit, fill out the
Community Service Extra Credit Form and give it to
your TA who will inform the Community Service Director. This is due
by Monday December 1st, at 12:50
PM.
