FIELD ASSIGNMENT 1 DEFINING HAPPINESS
Goals and Skills: Students are asked to apply specific concepts, happiness theories, or research findings
they have learned in class to life experiences and specific out-of-class activities. Using a concept in a new
circumstance as well as connecting sociology to other relevant material in students’ lives allows for
greater student understanding.
Specific Instructions: In this assignment, you should discuss happiness as you define it for yourself.
What does it mean to be happy? What makes someone happier than someone else? What has been
the happiest time in your life? Ask around to see what others think happiness is. Why does their
definition work for them? Are there other definitions that you think would also work? By using class
sources, other resources, friends, family, etc., you should come up with a definition of happiness and
defend it.
Substantive Discussion/Debriefing: On the class day after the assignment is due, there will be an in-class
discussion about this assignment. Students should be prepared to talk about their paper.
DUE: A digital copy should be uploaded to D2L into correct folder by 12:59pm on the due date (exact
dates are noted on the syllabus under Course Calendar and Assignments).
Feedback: Students will be given numerical grades using the rubric below:
