Mentoring + Collaboration: The
community-based writing group has a successful history
in mentoring undergraduate
students
to conduct their own research on service learning.
We have developed a system in which faculty
mentor graduate students, who then mentor undergraduate students,
often those from their composition classes who wish to continue
volunteering in a service site and studying the effects of
community-based learning.
The student projects described on
the following pages following illustrate our mentoring
relationships.
