Plus, I was so close to having my gold status, that I just had to try and get the class included.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Integrative Learning in Psychology was not a normal class. I actually took it in conjunction with three other classes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cross-Cultural Psychology (Psychology 420)<\/li>\n<li>Psychology of Adolescence (Psychology 322)<\/li>\n<li>Research Methods in Psychology (Psychology 318)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The goal of these four classes was to create a more well-rounded class experience. Since they were all 300+ psychology classes, they complimented each other. But the uniqueness came from the fact that my assignments in 395 pulled from what I learned in the other three. For example, we had a journal assignment due roughly every week. They were all done in APA format with title pages, running heads, references, etc., which of course pulled from what I was learning in 318. My journal #6 was titled &#8211;&nbsp;How Culture and Development Influences Personality and Social Media Usage &#8211; which tied all of my classes together nicely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as if the class wasn&#8217;t already valuable enough, I completed a semester-long research (group) project. While we didn&#8217;t actually run an experiment or do interviews, we did everything else: choosing our topic, researching literature, creating a design, selecting a sample, data analysis (the data was provided), and discussions. Then after this was done, a couple of our groups members did a poster presentation on campus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2020\/04\/Journal-6.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">Journal-6<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2020\/04\/Final-Research-Paper.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">Final-Research-Paper<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h6><span style=\"color: #712a46\"><a style=\"color: #712a46\" href=\"http:\/\/www.naceweb.org\/\">Skills that employers are seeking&nbsp;<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">Work in a team structure<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">Plan, organize, and prioritize work<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><span style=\"background-color: #8fb9ff\">Make decisions and solve problems<\/span><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><span style=\"background-color: #8fb9ff\">Obtain and process information<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">Communicate verbally<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">Demonstrate computer software proficiency<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><span style=\"background-color: #8fb9ff\">Analyze quantitative data<\/span><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><span style=\"background-color: #8fb9ff\">Create and\/or edit reports<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">Demonstrate technical knowledge<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<p>Influence\/sell to others<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Make decisions and solve problems &#8211; working as a team in an online class<\/p>\n<p>Obtain and process information &#8211; taking information from others classes and applying it to this classes assignments<\/p>\n<p>Analyze quantitative data &#8211; analyzing our table of data using SPSS<\/p>\n<p>Create and\/or edit reports &#8211; final project<\/p>\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #712a46\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Reflection &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/span>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<p>This class was a fantastic experience.
