Your Philosophy of Life - Assessment
A note about grading: this assessment will be graded, but for most of the questions there are no right or wrong answers (as long as you are taking it seriously).  As long as you put a lot of thought and effort into your answers, you will be fine.  The main purpose of this assessment is to make you think about your life.  You may not skip any questions.  If your response is only a few words, you will probably lose points.

Some of these questions might make you uncomfortable - but that is the point!  We all want to live "examined lives" so that we can be the best person we can.  That means looking at the good and the bad in our lives and trying to make ourselves better.
