character strength

content plus the development of some of those characters strengths discussed in the course will certainly be much more problematic than presented; also the evaluation of character strengths will certainly be problematic for some time to come, but the course is till worth taking.

I am really enjoying the in-depth analysis of personal traits and character strengths in this course.

I understand what it means by zest and character strength.

I learnt a important aspect of classroom i.e knowing and appreciating character strength of students.

I know more about character strength and how to develop them.
