Thinking back on blog 1, my initial expectations from this class were that we were going to study things social psychology questions in why we react to different social situations, social personality disorders, and the ways of interaction as a society and the conflicts of interests that it introduces. To be quite honest, I had a very basic idea of what was going on in the class and what we were going to learn, but this class really opened my thoughts and explained some things that I had always wondered about! My expectations were met, and I was able to get a deeper understanding of where they root from and how they were caused. We also had class discussions that were dependent upon us being able to respond with situations we may have been through or seen someone else to to help us understand the overall lesson. From what was described in the course syllabus, I think that Ive achieved a basic understanding of what we would be learning about by the week with some areas I was able to relate to more than others.

My attitude about the class had always come from a positive perspective, I really enjoyed learning in this class and the many deep discussions they lead to. If I took the class again, I think I would put more time into figuring out what I could not understand and making sure that I will be able to apply it on the next test. This class has definitely helped me to grow academically as it helped me to get a better understanding in psychological objectives that I go through everyday! I know I talked about the discussions a lot in this post, but they were really helpful beyond measures and I think that in my professional life, I will utilize deep discussions to the best of my ability because that is one of the best ways to get to know somebody and understand them because you really do not know a person until you know what they have been through and why they act the way they do!
