Weekly gratitude journalEach week students were assigned a 1 point graded survey in Canvas with the following prompt: "There are many things in our lives, both large and small, to be grateful for. Think back over the past week and write down five things in your life that you are thankful for." (adapted from Froh et al 2008)

letters of gratitudeDuring Weeks 3, 8, and 12 students were assigned a 2 point graded survey in Canvas with the following prompt: "Call to mind someone who did something for you for which you are extremely grateful but to whom you never expressed your gratitude. Write a one page letter of gratitude to this individual to express appreciation for them. In your letter describe 1) what this person did, 2) why you are grateful to this person, and 3) how this person’s behavior affected your life." (adapted from Toepfer et al 2012)
