Service Learning Project

Project Summary:

For this assignment, student groups will produce a set of promotional materials for the UNCW English Department under the guidance of the departmental Student Outreach Committee and Publications Committee. The purpose of these materials is to persuade students to take classes in the English Department. The committees will select one group's set of materials to use during major fairs. Client feedback about each group's materials will have a direct impact on the corresponding grades.

Each student group is required to create at least two specific materials: a three-panel poster and an informational pamphlet. The department has existing examples of these materials that groups will redesign. Groups may create additional materials to supplement these (and are encouraged to do so).

During the course of this project, students will practice working collaboratively to produce real professional materials for an authentic client. In so doing, students will demonstrate their understanding of audience awareness, research, ethos, professionalism, and document design.

DISCLAIMER: All materials created for this project become the exclusive property of the English Department. The English Department retains the right to reproduce, modify, and publicly show all materials created for this project. If the client is unable to provide project assessment within the appropriate timeframe, the instructor will make all project grading decisions. The instructor retains final authority over all project and course grading issues.
