Professor Matthews is clearly dedicated to this topic, and loves sharing this unique world of the study of happiness with his students. Every class is a look into a new paper or idea in happiness with weekly readings that serve as the backbone for class discussion. Class time could have been more organized and less spontaneous, however, it was a part of the class that I enjoyed a lot. Though I don't know if we were supposed to learn as much about regression analysis as we did, it is certainly not a bad tool to take a deep dive into.

Professor Matthews is clearly very passionate about this field. Classes could be more interesting but he often tends to spend too much time explaining simple concepts, which can make the classes boring. Overall, he’s genuine and understanding, but the course didn’t provide a lot of value in my opinion. Take this if you want an easy fyse.

I had a good experience in this class. I was taught how to think critically about problems going on in our economy today and was able to connect the content well to other areas of academics. I highly recommend the class.
