In this article, the teacher reevaluated her teaching techniques and objectives for the general biology course for the nonscience major. In doing so, she felt a change in content, format, and emphasis was necessary. To inspire students to be open to the idea of learning science as an everyday occurrence and life-long process, and to help students know they are people who make a difference in the community, she developed a pilot program for students to do community service as part of their course grade. Developing a sense of responsibility and accomplishment was the objective along with students being involved and learning biology at the same time.
