Soul Labor as Course Labor: 

Soul Labor suggests that a student is investing more than just time and energy—they are engaging with the material on a profound level, bringing their creativity, values, and personal growth into the learning process. 

This kind of effort leads to transformative learning experiences, where the student not only gains knowledge but also grows emotionally and intellectually.
