Psych 490: Senior Seminar

Course Objectives:  The goal of this course is to provide experiences that allow you to reflect deeply on a theme.  The theme we will explore this semester is happiness and well-being.  We will explore this using several strategies.  First, you will be allowed to select a more specific topic related to the theme to explore in a brief research paper.  Secondly, we will read texts that serve as contrasting cases related to the theme.  We will explore these cases using discussion questions to guide us.  Finally, we will examine this theme through our experience with a service-learning project.
