For example, is there a connection between mindfulness and creativity, attention, memory? We will engage in contemplative practices to consider mindful learning from a personal perspective and review research in the fields of education and psychology that suggests a positive correlation between contemplative practices and the intellectual, emotional, and psychological growth of students.

Professor Hammerle is very enthusiastic and engaging in this class which is contagious. This course, like most First Year Seminars, was very writing intensive. As a result, I would highly recommend staying on top of your assignments and planning ahead at the beginning of the semester.
