Teaching Self and Identity to Undergrads Though Active Self-Exploration.

Abstract
This course engages undergraduates by having them participate in assignments that promote active learning through self-exploration. Students journal, practice mindfulness, and complete semester-long self-exploration and self-regulation projects. Self assessments taken at the beginning and end of the class indicate increases in mindfulness, purpose in life, and decreases in depression.
