After taking exam 1 I can say that I am pleased with my results, but also very curious as to how I missed what I missed. As I reviewed over my incorrect answers I learned that it was a mix of both overthinking/rushing and getting information mixed up. When I was reviewed the information on the study guide for this exam I made sure to take some notes as I went along with the information. Taking notes help me a lot because it gives me not everything said word for word, but summed up in a way that I will understand it. Sometimes I have to put things in my perspective in order to understand them. Reviewing the answers that I got wrong for this exam will help me with material with the next exam. Now I have an idea of what I need to work on in terms of studying

I decided to add the picture above because this is what I mainly used to go off of. This served as the basis of what I needed to review in my own notes from the modules.

After reading the article I can say that I do agree with what it is saying. People do make judgement of other people’s personalities based off of their music taste. I believe that there is a strong connection between music and relationships. For example, my significant other and I have been together for three years now. We both have similar taste in music such as old school R&B. We share similar ideas of what we consider to be ‘good’ music.

My soundtrack:

Significant other – All My Life(Kc and Jojo)

Myself – My First Love(Avant and KeKe Wyatt)

My mom – A Song For Mama(Boyz 2 Men)

Friends – Do It To It(Cherish ft. Sean Paul)

My dad – Proud Mary(Tina and Ike Turner)

I decided to use the picture attached above because it represents how music and relationships have a connection. In the photo one guy is playing the guitar next to two other people. Everyone is seen smiling and what looks to be having a good time. Music has a way of bringing people closer together

I believe that I am a good student. I am more confident in some areas than others when it comes to my work. I believe that there is always room for improvement, but I am happy with my work. I am content with the student that I am . If I had to choose one factor that I believe could possibly increase my confidence level I would have to say not procrastinating. I am a huge procrastinator with so many things. I work well under pressure for some things like essays or papers, but other things not so much. Waiting until the last minute sometimes has me second guessing myself. When I start second guessing myself then I start choosing the wrong answers instead of leaving it with the answer that I knew was right from the beginning.

After taking the General Self-Efficacy Scale I managed to score a 36. I believe that the results are very accurate. I do have a high degree of self-confidence and believe that I can accomplish tasks that I set out to perform on a regular basis. I attached my results down below

I personally love the study of Psychology. It fascinates me how many different branches of psychology there are. My expectations for this course are to come out of this class with a better understanding of Social Psychology primarily. I am hoping to gain some insight on just what Social Psychology really is. I want to become a Forensic Psychologist, but I still want to be able to apply my knowledge from Social Psychology to real life situations. One major strategy that I tend to implement to ensure that I succeed in this course is doing my work in a timely manner. I am know for procrastinating sometimes and that does not always work in my favor. I plan to put some time aside, days before the due date, to get my work done for this course
