Interesting Things I Learned In Class Essay

Improved Essays
The majority interesting thing I learned in class is that the mind can be your best friend or your enemy. The thing is it is not truly the minds fault. Another thing I found interesting is how misguided society is. However, knowing that society has a negative view towards numerous things we talked about in class, for example, depression, certain types of drugs, abnormal behaviors, etc was not surprising. It is startling how I questioned countless things and during class, many of my questions were answered or reflected upon. I found countless things interesting, enough to talk and debate with other people outside of class and research during breaks and lunch time at work. I believe what struck me was when we went over memory. The whole idea of forgetting memory by suppression and repression is what received my attention the most. Reason why is because, as a kid, I went through a lot of bad things, things which …show more content…
Not only do you explain the lesson, you give the students real life experience and that helps a lot of people. The study guide is easy to do and it has all the information we as students need. There is no going around in circles, no information on the notes or study guide that is not needed. I really like this class, and I like you as the person you portray yourself. While you think that I might be b.s.ing this, this is the last thing I may turn in for this class so why not be truthful? I am not sure what other people in class will say about this course, but I know that I liked it a lot and I would not change anything. Now that I think about it, why do people in college not have those games for the study guide? Is it because those are considered as games and since we are now adults in the eyes of the law, that it seems too childish or time consuming? I have been wondering about that and now I wonder what your answer will be

    Law and the Interest that it Holds on People Being able to study the law has always been an interest of mine because there are so many different directions that it can take. People defending a certain law can win but so can a person that is trying to change a tradition, and thus can change the whole way the system works and is looked at by U.S citizens and that includes the rest of the world. I like knowing that the U.S has the power to make laws in our own country and cause and effect somewhere else, which can benefit people from those places as to gain more rights than what they had before. Many of the cases that have been discussed in class, I had at one point hear or read about them. However, I had not been able to go into much detail…

    We watched more movies and had more discussions, even if they were not on topic. For example in my psychology class, my teacher told us all about his life when he was in high school and college, and all of his crazy adventures. He taught us many life lessons in that class, and even though I learned nothing about psychology, I can honestly say that it was my favorite class that year. I took his class twice more before I graduated.…

    The most interesting thing I’ve learned in this course was about change blindness. Change blindness is a situation where you do not notice a change between two scenarios. For example, you may not notice a change in hair length between two scenes during a movie. This makes me wonder exactly how many things from my past that I remember wrongfully. I believe I will remember this in five years, because of all the bad things that could happen due to change blindness.…

    1. For me, the three most important things I learned in this class was to pay more attention to the behaviors obtained and expressed by children, I learned more information on the various ways that a teacher can adapt and accommodate the special needs their students might need in order to be successful in their learning outcomes, and finally I learned how important it is for teachers to take the extra time to learn about the different cultures their students come from, whether it be by participating in cultural events, reading some books, or finding additional ways to immerse themselves in it. 2. To implement the above practices into my classroom, I will be sure to interact constantly with my students and their families, always trying to learn…
