چکیده
Author Dan Berrett Journal The Chronicle of Higher Education June 2, 2014 Abstract Students seldom relish required courses. They are often seen as a burden that everyone would rather get out of the way—a bit like flossing. Some colleges think they’ve found a solution: They have adopted a curricular approach fit for a generation of oversharers and made the courses all about the students.

Dozens of colleges list courses in "the good life"—helping students recognize, realize, and maximize it. Database The Chronicle of Higher Education
