Project Goals
By adding reflective practices on student experience in the course, this project enhanced course content and learning activities as well as the impact on students’ personal and professional values.
Project Activities
Students aligned their learning, skill development, and behavioral decisions with their professed values. They used various surveys and assignments to explore their emotions, values, and attitudes toward persistent inequality, climate change, and other critical economic policy issues. This reflective exercise helped them address conflicts between their internal values and external realities.
