Question #1

I followed the academic integrity policy and did my own work. I did not copy anybody's work and I understand the consequences.

Question #2

The score I got for the self-motivation quiz was 39. I relate my results to Chapter 11 because it talks about self-doubting leading to decreased behavior which is something I need to work on.

Question #3

The score I got for the self-confident quiz was 44. In the MindTools website, it spoke about how having self-confidence helps you improve in other aspects. So when you have self-confidence you are more confident in doing the things you would like to do and be more likely to succeed as you set your mind to it.

Question #4

A defense mechanism I usually use is optimism. I remember one time I was super stressed about classwork and exams and I felt like I did not have enough time to get it done. I kept thinking about the bad outcome and it just made me feel so much worse. I decided to change my mindset and see the good in the situation. Instead of thinking "I am gonna fail" I started thinking "I worked hard enough, I got this." Somehow thinking that way made me feel better and made my situation easier. I was able to manage the time and get all my work done in time and get a good grade on them as well.

Question #5

The best piece of information from chapter 13 in my opinion has to be distress being a common criteria. I think anxiety has a major affect on a person. Without even being told you can see when someone is distressed. You can see it in their emotions and body movements. You will even notice them being different from their usual self. So I think that information is very important to learn about.

Question #6

smehdi6 — 2024-04-20 03:21:23 UTC

The two concepts I found most interesting in this course were physical development and Bandura's theory. I found physical development interesting because I just find it cool how the mind works and how it changes as u get older. I found the Bandura's theory interesting because it takes your person, environment, and behavior to find the personality.

Question #7

What I liked about the course is how easy it was to access the professor when needing help. Being able to email the professor when I felt stuck was a great help. Something I did not like about the course was how fast paced it was. I felt like I had tons of work and the next week would just add more. So I do not feel like we had an assignment where we were able to have longer time. The deadline was very precise. I think the teaching style and getting around to the assignments was great. It was just the fact that it was fast paced. Maybe because I have a full time schedule so with other courses it seemed harder. For those who only had this course this semester this course should have been very easy and normal paced.
