Often the course is taught in adeductive style where the general theories are presented and then applications of the theories areexplored. Until they study the applications, many students find it difficult to follow themathematical presentation of the theory

At some institutions, students completed service-learning projects in farawaycountries, while others tackled projects in local communities.Workshop attendees reiterated the importance of conveying the message to students that“developing communities” are not just “over there.” Students need to realize that a large numberof people struggle to meet their basic needs even in the largest cities in the United States.In fact, according to Anthony Cortese11, President and Co-Founder of Second Nature, 90% of theU.S. economy focuses on meeting people's wants, not their needs.
