  • I took this course with the special topic of: Happiness. I can't believe it was a one time offering. I hope for the sake of other students it comes back. The prof (Dr. Brian Orend) had written a book on the topic and is one of the best at UW. It's a privilege that he teaches online courses. We need happiness more than ever and this course takes a deep look into the topic. If it was up to me I'd make it a mandatory course for all. If it ever comes back, take it for sure. If it's not back, message the PHIL department and ask for it to be back. It's that good.
