Credible Ad

This is a credible ad because it provides statistics that will help inform the viewers of the content presented as well as help them evaluate it. The source is also from a trusted agency. The ad’s goal is to inform, but mainly to persuade viewers of the ad to get vaccinated.

Non-credible Ad

This is a non-credible ad because 1) it seems like the picture used for this ad had been edited (that in itself is untrustworthy — deception!) 2) I do not see that it is FDA approved 3) they may have used a doctor to make the ad credible but, we don’t know who this doctor is, what he does — only that he is also a “hydroxy cut success story”

Attractive Ad

This is an attractive ad for a skin care line because the source used a beautiful model, with a porcelain skin. The colors and the way the ad is set up looks clean and luxurious. It is also printed that it is a #1 brand Asia. If I were to see this ad while shopping for a new skincare regimen, I would probably be attracted to this. It looks elegant and legit!

Last week was our first exam for this class. Although I thought that I was prepared enough for it, I ended up not getting the grade that I wanted or expected. Going over through the exam once again, seeing which questions I had missed, I realized that these go under the topics or chapters that I only skimmed over. I may have overestimated myself, but there is definitely a lesson learned. For the next exam, I will space out my studying and not cram within only two days (like I did for this exam). I will also make use of any and all the review materials offered to me. It’s not too late to get a good grade in this class! 🙂

According to the article “Soul Meets Body” — How Music and Relationship are Connected, it talks about the connection between music and relationships. I agree that music leads to increased social attraction and not just in a romantic way. For example, just last night I was talking to a co-worker of mine whom I barely know (I had just started this job last month) and our main topic was the kind of music we both listen to. After that conversation, I realized that we both have similarity in our music preferences and I just liked her even more. We talked about how music is more than just the rhythms, notes, lyrics –they have stories behind them in which we can learn from! Anyway, I think music is a universal language. It connects people, and it is awesome!

What Kind of Student am I?

I believe myself to be a hardworking student. I believe that I accomplish my tasks accordingly and in a timely manner. According to the graph above which a result of a self-efficacy questionnaire, I have a pretty high self-efficacy overall. This result is a little surprising to me because if I were to rate my confidence level I would say that I am about 80%. I think that, even though I am a hardworking student and I enjoy learning new things everyday, I can still improve in some areas. For example, I could make more effort in joining a study group to further improve my grades or get to know my peers. I could also attend or be more active on campus to really enjoy my college life. These are just some examples that I think will help boost my confidence levels, and I think these are attainable if I do not let other things get in the way or talk myself out of them.
