The goal of this final section is to reflect on your learning in a number of areas, and to write in an essay of about 500 words. Your reflection essay should be guided by the following five questions:
1.What have you learned about American history?
2.What have you learned about doing history; that is, about being an historian and dealing with documents and interpretations?
3.What insights have you gained about happiness, and about how it relates to what you have learned about people in different times and places thinking about happiness?
4.How have your own choices, including how your own educational choices are informed by your assumptions about happiness? Especially for those of you also using this study as part of Educational Planning, this is a second opportunity to ask how what you have learned might help you think about your planning your Empire State College education. For example, do any of the ideas about happiness that you have uncovered help you to think about your personal, academic, and/or professional goals? Have you come across others ways to think about happiness (or its absence) that have affected your own way of thinking about your own life? Hopefully you will have already collected some preliminary ideas about these things when you “paused to reflect” during Weeks 6-7. (It could be possible that some of your ideas from this essay are directly applicable to the writing of the Rationale Essay for your degree program.)
5.What new questions or new concerns about happiness as a topic in your life and in our lives today have emerged for you as a result of this study?
