- For Community Partners: Obtain feedback on student contributions, the quality of work performed, and the overall impact on the community or organization. Focus on how well the students’ efforts aligned with the community’s needs.
- Survey Examples:
- Student Survey Questions: “What skills did you gain from this experience?” “How did this project affect your understanding of community service?” “In what ways did this experience align with your academic or career goals?”
