Ethics, Education and Change
Name _______Ashley Ridgeway__________ Subject (Major) Area: __Clinical Psychology________________ Graduate Yr: ___Sophomore___
This section of the assessment asks you to look at yourself, your background, and your approach to learning and to ethics.

1. Educational background, high school/college, degrees, training, area of emphasis, universities attended: I first attended Hereford High school (Monkton, MD, 1954).After graduating from high school I then …show more content…
What do you intend to gain from this course?
I would like to gain better writing skills and I hope that once I learn about Ethics that it will help me in my decision making skills. I intend to gain time management skills that I will enjoy following.
7. What is your discipline/area of major study? How would you characterize your approach to ethics? My major is Clinical Psychology. I would characterize my approach to ethics as using my mental abilities to weigh the good and bad of situations by looking at the consequences and what others would think. However, I feel risks that aren’t dangerous may be needed to open up people’s minds.
8. What has formed your current awareness and use of ethics, please summarize and characterize?
My family and school experience has formed my current awareness and use of ethics. I would also say my religion of being a Christian has also influenced when I think about certain situations. 9. What is your level of expertise in working with the Internet …show more content…
Describe and rate your current level of experience with learning and your self-direction of learning. I would say very good, but I wouldn’t mind improving my level of experience with learning. I learn better when I am interested in a topic versus when I am told to do a topic that I don’t find interesting. I don’t exhibit a lot of initiative in setting my goals. I usually set them later and then do not follow through with them until the last minute which I would like to change.
2. What do you find exciting about learning?
I find learning new things exciting and if I can learn something new about technology then I would be happy to learn that. I find group work is a very useful tool when learning because you form ideas and get to hear everyone else’s thoughts. 3. What would you prefer to avoid/what do you already know?
Honestly, I do not know anything about ethics except for the definition of ethics because I have never taken an ethics course.
4. What things define the boundaries of your current state of knowledge and skills in enabling your success? (This is a difficult question. Give it some thought.)
I believe when I don’t test myself or take the time to read or write then I am lessening the strength of my learning
