A  journal  is a personal record of learning experiences including notes, observations, thoughts, and ideas reflective of the materials presented in class. You will keep a journal recording your thoughts and application of concepts discussed in class. The purpose of the Course Reflection Journal is: To lock-in and deepen your understanding of each lesson’s learning outcomes. To explore how positive psychology practices inspire self-reflection on the role of happiness in your own life. To help students conceptualize how happiness is practiced differently across cultures and borders.
