- W256157068 abstract "Reading to the blind, teaching swimming to children with cerebral palsy, being a companion to the elderly, or brightening the lives of AIDS patients may not sound like college projects. But for a number of MiraCosta College students in a wide variety of courses, these and other Service-learning experiences have enhanced their classroom learning and enriched their lives. Nothing compares to going out, hands-on completely, then going through your textbook and notes, thinking about what you observed, and writing a paper on it, says Kate Johnston(1), who as part of her work in Karen Baum's Social Psychology course helped host a social event for adults with Down's syndrome.
