Psychology 1010

For one of our assignments we were assigned to write a paper about a topic from our textbook. This was an opportunity for us to learn more about a topic of our choice. This helped me because it was a topic that I wanted to write about, not what the teacher assigned. I was more motivated to learn about the subject because I was interested in learning about it. This paper helped me personally because now I am able to control my stress more due to researching information about it. My mother has always had high stress levels and i've never understood why; when writing this paper I was finally able to understand where she is coming from. 

We were also assigned a group project. With online classes you aren't as connected with the classmates. Creating a website with my classmates connected me with people who were able to teach me more about the topic. All of us split up the work but still contributed to the other team members parts. It definitely was done as a team and no one was left on their own. Together we were able to create a website that is now going to be used to help future classes! 

This class helped me learn a lot about myself. Every week we had a social experiment; all of them involved our own lives. I was able to complete every one and learn by personal experience. With doing experiments it was hands on so I was able to connect the course objectives to everyday occasions. I conducted experiences with my family, which helped me learn more about them. I also taught my mom many things about behavior so she could help my brother who has aspergers. The textbook was a necessity for this class. It was published in a very guiding way. It was easy to navigate through and locate information. It didn't bore and caught my attention with the readings. With Professor Campbell instructing this class you will be guided until the end. She responded to emails quickly making it easier to finish assignments on time. The instructions in the syllabus are very clear as for her expectations. I understand why this class is a general education class and advise every future student to apply themselves so they can absorb the most out of this class as they can.

My advice for future students is to really become familiar with the information in the book. The quiz's are timed and can be stressful. Really get a good idea of where the definitions and key terms are in the readings. As far as assignments, submit every single one. Even if you don't know much about something just put effort. The professor is always there to answer questions if you are lost or confused.
