For these courses service learning is an option, not required. Students must complete 20 hours of volunteer service to receive full credit for the project.  Students are required to write journal entries each time they volunteer and a reflection paper on their overall experience.  I only teach 1 or 2 Social Problems courses each year, and since it is optional in my classes I don't have real large numbers involved. Those that do it, however, seem to get a lot out of the experience.
