Week 5 (Feb 3rd) – Applying critical analysis to case studies and experience of international engagement participants.
Objective:
By the end of the session, students will be able to apply what they have learned thus far in the course, including ethics and motivation for ISL participation as well as the need for community engagement and project longevity, to critically evaluate case studies and experience of international engagement participants.
Bridge:
From these exercises, the students will develop critical analysis tools for the final project, in which they will unpack the ISL experiences that are currently available.
