I would say compared to the beginning of the semester I learned the things I was expecting to learn in this course. By going module by module and having the jeopardy reviews I was able to learn the material and understand the different concepts and how they apply to real life. Learning this material helped me understand how people view things the way they do. This could be with themselves or others.

I would put more time into this course if I took it over again. I would really try to apply the things I learned to real life. However, using this as insight has helped me with my relationships with different people. I picked a cap and diploma picture to show I “graduated” from the course. I am ready to take this knowledge I learned and apply it to my everyday life. I will take my knowledge of stereotyping and help give me insight into when I become a doctor. Anything from this course however will help me succeed at my future job and interact with people the proper way.

The article talked about how men and woman have their conflicts due to their difference in certain situations. Due to the different way men and woman think about things this can cause conflicts. Another thing in relationships is men and women will expect something from the other which causes problems. Men can get upset when women are more in touch with their emotions for certain situations or think they will address an issue when in reality the woman may think the man can read her mind. Meanwhile sometimes a woman can think there is an issue and expect the man to address it when he may think there is no issue. It is small things like these that can upset men and woman in a relationship.

I chose this image to represent difference between men and women in terms of relationships. It shows well the difference in how they can clash in a relationship. One main example is how logic is used with men and emotions are used more with women in terms of thinking and experiencing things. In a cliche way, men speak with their minds and woman speak with their hearts which can not always go the right way.

Self-Regulation and Emotional Intelligence have a tie and people should have a great understanding of one for the other. To have self-regulation you should have a good understanding of your emotions and how to control them in situations. This can be done in many ways by knowing how to express them or repress them. To me, emotional intelligence is understanding your emotions and knowing how to express them. Some people do not understand how to control their emotions for situations. People may react the wrong way due to their lower emotional intelligence

These are my results for an EQ test I took. I would say it is pretty accurate. I do control my emotions well and I know how to handle them. When I am freaking out I will take a second to calm down and go on with whatever. I was expecting it to be a little lower because sometimes I overreact or underreact to things and don’t realize right away.

The TED talk went on about how women are stereotyped and looked down upon. Some ads sexualize women and some just can’t appreciate women for who they are. They are always being compared or shown how they “should be”. The first one is all about sexualizing women, especially with the words placed with the image. The second, third, and fifth all have something to do with body image. This isn’t the best when people who are younger view them and think they need to be skinny to be good. In addition, photos are edited to fit the standards which makes it worse. The fourth picture is telling how a woman should be instead of saying something like think, act, and be a woman. Instead, it is telling a woman how to be. These ads harm women in thinking they need to act and be a certain way to be accepted by society.

NASA is a pretty credible source because they are well known. This first source is an ad where it is from a credible source along with a convincing look. No one is going to question if it is true with NASA’s logo on the ad. The second ad has no credibility but does get people questioning and taking a second look. Although there is a similar logo and at first glance, someone may think it is a NASA ad, someone needs to check again to actually read and realize it is not one. It is saying negative things about NASA but using the logo to draw you in. The third ad draws you in by having people on it as well as mentioning NASA in Hollywood. It grabs your attention and is effective in making you want to look more into it. You’ll wonder who the people are and how it relates to Hollywood.

To prepare for the exam I went and read through the textbook chapter once and made some notes based on those chapters. I then went and reviewed the jeopardy video to see the material applied in the question form. Once the review sheet was posted I went section by section and wrote down the answers that I knew. The ones I was not sure on I would go and look up and review those consistently. This study method worked for me and I ended up doing well on the exam. Therefore, I will be using this method for future exams in this class. The only thing I would change is getting a head start on the material.

I picked this image because it shows an accurate representation of me as a student doing my work. Once I am by myself and have my material together I can focus and get some studying done for any class but especially this class.

Music is a thing that links people together and can always find a common ground. It is a thing most people bring up in conversation. Even if someone doesn’t like the same music it is usually the one thing people are open to listening to and exploring. Everyone always finds at least one song that they all know and can listen to together. It either brings them together due to nostalgia or just having a common ground which can be important when forming relationships with other people.

  1. Beastie Boys- “Intergalactic”
This song reminds me of my roommate. Whenever we are hanging out we both blast this song and have a good time.

2. Ateez-“Pirate King”

This song reminds me of my best friend Eliza. Kpop is the main genre of music she listens to and Ateez is one of her favorite K-pop groups and she always talks about it with me.

3. Stray Kids- “God’s menu”

This song was the song that got my sister into k-pop. She would always play the song on repeat and dance to it so I will always think of her when I hear the song.

4. Red Jumpsuit Apparatus- “Face Down”

This song is very nostalgic for me and reminds me of when I was a kid. I used to always listen to this song when I was younger.

5. Kenny Chesney- “I Go Back”

This song specifically reminds me of when my dad used to go on runs during the day and would take me along. I would be sitting in the jogger with my iPod and headphones listening to this song.

6. Linkin Park- “Crawling”

This song specifically reminds me of playing a PC game with my dad when I was young. While playing this game my dad and I would listen to Linkin Park but specifically this song.

I like to think I am a very organized student and manage my time well. Of course, I have some situations where I could be better with my time and studying. However, I do get my work done on time and stay on top of things. I make lists for my school work so I know exactly what I need to do and things that are coming up. The one thing I could do to help me be more confident is to improve my study techniques and study early on. Even though I do study for exams and quizzes, I do not study as much and as long as I would like. This would boost my confidence in school and make me feel as though I can be more successful than I am now. My score for the self-efficacy test was 3.3, which is a pretty high score. This seems accurate given how seriously I take schoolwork. Above is a screenshot of an online planner I use to track my classes, exams, and homework I have coming up. Although I procrastinate on things, this website helps me be a better student. If a due date is coming up I take on the challenge and it helps me work harder than if something is due in 2 weeks.
