The culmination of this course will be your writing a 6 page research paper applying class discussion, expertise on interviewing, data from 4 interviews, research from at least 3 supplemental scholarly research articles as well as at least 3 pop culture sources and all the work from your happiness activities over the term. You will conduct an interview study with 4 people in which you ask them questions about the areas of happiness you focused on for your project—and analyze how their experience differs from your own and how this all relates to the empirical research. In the paper, do 1-5 from above in more detail than what will be summarized in the presentation. Strong papers relate experiences and the interviews to empirical research associated with communication and happiness. Furthermore, they are well organized, beautifully written, engaging, provide strong support for claims made and uphold all aspects of academic integrity.
