This course will inspire students to “awaken the goodness within themselves.” Students who take this class will have many opportunities to reflect upon their lives and to reassess the various choices that they make in their day-to-day encounters. Through various in-class activities and assignments, students will learn the importance of being authentic in their life choices and keeping an open, honest, and positive outlook no matter the circumstance.
If there is a problem with your weekly TASK submissions, the professor will contact you.
