Humanities Final Essay Prompts
Considering what you have learned and accomplished over the duration of the course, write on 3-4 of these topics. Show the breadth and depth of your understanding and engagement in the topics.
How has your appreciation of the relationship between critical thinking, imagination and creativity grown? Consider their roles in our inner, social, and work lives. Discuss examples.
How did the course succeed in illuminating the complexity, beauty, and mysteries of the human condition for you?
What from the arts and ideas we covered do you think was inspiring, and helpful for making sense of and navigating life’s challenges?
Comment on new experiences, skills, and other meaningful knowledge you gained from the course, and questions that remain for you.
Plan on discussing 3 or 4 major points with specific examples from the course and your experiences of it that are meaningful to you and could be to others. Discuss what you think best represents the breadth and depth of your understanding and engagement with the humanities. Imagine your reader as someone who is intelligent and interested, but may not know what you mean, and who may not agree with you right away. Comment on both insights and interpretive questions you are left with.
I’m looking for your original first person (“I”) reflections, not a research or expository essay, or a synthetic product.

An organized middle: 3-4 points with your own explanations of key ideas you drew from the course, supported with examples, your reasoned views, and citations;
A thoughtful conclusion. Be expansive: comment on progress you made, wisdom you gained, what you struggled or are still struggling with (articulation of problems and issues is a great skill!). Include a meaningful question you may explore further for yourself . . .
Citations.

Comment in your own words on what you want to point out about the material.
