Sometimes we get a group of students that just do a fantastic job on a project. They go above and beyond our expectations, and remind us how great it is to be a teacher. Scott Cloutier, PhD taught an online course on the Biology of Happiness this summer, and just had to share the final project from his students. His assignment was open-ended, and allowed students the freedom to create something meaningful and creative. Below is his blog post.
"Have you ever wondered why we feel the way we do in the spaces we occupy? How about connections between relationships and our happiness? We live in an overwhelming world of endless choices and options, yet, we are driven by biological factors to survive and reproduce.
I recently asked my online students to develop interventions to help people realize the connections between their own happiness and some of these biological factors. You can see my assignment guidelines by clicking here.
I want to share one website in particular - an excellent effort surrounding the topic and concepts of the course. Perhaps it can help someone you know!"
