Preparation

During this course, you will complete at least 14 journal activities (4-6 per assessment) on your own and record your personal reflections (thoughts) and insights (things learned or relearned) in a Word document that will serve as your journal.

You will use this record of your journal activities as a resource to help you complete the written assessments.

The journal activities are provided in the Positive Psychology Journal media piece, which is linked in the Resources.

For this assessment, complete at least six journal activities, two from each of Sections 1-3 in the media piece:

From Section 1, complete journal activity 1.1 PERMA Assessment. Choose from the remaining activities in this section for your second activity.

From Section 2, complete journal activity 2.1 VIA Survey of Character Strengths. Choose from the remaining activities in this section for your second activity.
