While most students were learning from lectures and books, students in social studies learned through active involvement. Some Ameri- can government students, were required to do a semester project. Although some did reports, most opted for ‘‘on the spot” involve- ment. Projects undertaken were ride-alongs with police and search and rescue teams. Other activities included attending trials, shadow- ing lawyers and working on cam- paign slates. At the end of the eight hour projects, students wrote a mandatory evaluation.
