...majority of college students is putting assignments aside to get extra hours of sleep. There are times where I have put off assignments just to get a good night sleep and times where I have to crunch up the assignments and put off sleep because of deadlines. I am torn between the two decisions: to sleep or do homework/study. In order to look into this issue, we will have to explore how sleep plays a significant role in one’s life and the process of decision-making and time management in psychology. College was a huge transition from highschool due to the new settings and workload the courses have to offer. As students transition from high school to college, the students’ experiences are still adapted to the high school setting, which they have gained through repetitions throughout their high school career. The learning process perspective of psychology demonstrates this reasoning through classical conditioning. In this aspect, the unconditioned stimulus is that the workload for high school is not overwhelming so the unconditioned response for that would be to just do the homework then go to sleep. But over time, I see that the homework assignments are too simple and I did not look over them, so instead of doing the...

...skills of a student. This week Team D went through two simulations that allowed us to make ethical decisions based on the four lenses, where each had a different perspective in the decision-making process. In this summary, Team D will compare and contrast the usefulness of doing assignments based on simulations as opposed to writing paper s that answer questions. Team D will also make a decision regarding which we prefer as a team and provide the reasons. When comparing the usefulness of doing assignments based on simulations as opposed to writing papers that mostly answer questions, Team D finds there are differences between the two. Doing assignments based on simulations is a structured approach, which gives the opportunity for a more hands learning experience. Writing papers that mostly answer questions is a different approach that externalizes our learning. One needs to find information to answer the questions asked when writing a paper. This may require some research and a different thought process than simulation learning. Therefore, we can say that simulations are an internalized approach to learning and writing papers that mostly answer questions is an approach that externalizes the information. When contrasting the usefulness of doing assignments based on simulations as opposed to writing papers that mostly answer questions, Team D...

...I have a thorough writing process when doing an assignment for class. The very first step that I do, before starting any writing process, is to take notes on what I am writing about. I write down exactly what is expected of me, and any notes that I will need to understand what I am writing. This helps me to remember the information. Then, I lay out my notes in order all around me, so that I can see them if I need them. I am a free-writer, so my second step is to just start writing. At this step, I try not to think about any correction’s that I will need to make. The third step is going over my writing; making any corrections and revising that need to be done. Lastly, I write my final draft that will be turned in as my assignment for class. My writing process is very similar to the writing process outlined in my textbook. My textbook lists the writing process as: prewriting, planning, drafting, revising, and proofreading. (Pages 3 and 4 of Wordsmith) My prewriting is when I am taking notes for my assignment. When I lay out my notes in the order that I want to write my paragraphs, is when I am planning. My drafting process is when I just start writing. When I proofread my assignment that is when I am doing the revising and proofreading process. As you see, my writing process and the writing process outlined in my textbook are very similar.

...UMUC Haircuts Case Study In 1995, UMUC Haircuts was opened by Myra Morningstar in a strip mall near the College campus. UMUC Haircuts started as a barbershop with one chair. Over the years, Myra has expanded her business to include hair styling for both men and women. Her business has grown to three barber chairs, three hair styling stations, and a shampoo station. In response to her customers’ requests, Myra would like to further expand her business by adding two stations for manicures. The small gift shop next door to her has recently come up for sale, and she is thinking about acquiring that area for manicures. When UMUC Haircuts first opened, it was the only barbershop within a ten-mile radius. It was one of the first businesses to open in the strip mall where it is located, and the number of customers has increased each year. Over the years a couple of other barbershops have opened around the area, and there is news that a Hair Cuttery (offering men’s and women’s haircuts and styling only) will open about 5 miles away. In the shopping center across the street, an expensive spa has now opened where hair styling is offered along with manicures. Just around the corner from UMUC Haircuts is a home with a sign offering manicures. While UMUC Haircuts continues to grow and profits are increasing, Myra is sure that she could improve her operation in the areas of scheduling, supply ordering, inventory management, collecting customer information, and marketing.

...Creative Process Michael May PHL/458 June 5, 2013 John Smith Creative Process The creative process is one that people use every day, (Passive voice – suggest “People use the creative process every day, “) whether they realize it or not. The creative process includes four stages: searching for challenges, expressing the problem or issue, investigating the problem or issue, and then producing ideas (Ruggiero, V. R. (2009). (Repeated error – do not include author initials or first names with in-text citations – use “(Ruggiero, 2009)”. In personal experience, I have noticed that I used the creative process while trying to improve conditions at the various places in which I was (word tense – use “have been”) employed. A big thing at Gateway Cold Storage was that the pick path, or the way in which products were arranged on the warehouse floor was not conducive in creating a path that was conducive to generating speed and getting more items loaded in a more efficient manner. (some informal language, vague pronouns, missing commas, and passive voice – try “At Gateway Cold Storage, the pick path, or how products are arranged on the warehouse floor, was not conductive. A quicker and more efficient system for loading items was needed.”) Searching for challenges would be to (passive voice – try “involves”) going out and looking for ways to improve the way you live life. The book states that the first stage of the creative process represents the habit of searching for challenges...

...Observation During the first field visit to Bolich middle school the observation consisted of two different language arts class rooms. The classroom that was observed first was a class of eighth graders. There were Twenty-three students, broken down to thirteen girls and ten boys. As I entered the room it was the middle of their class. The classroom setting had rows of desks facing the front of the room, although the teacher’s desk was in the back of the room facing the student’s backs. The classroom was equipped with a smart board in the front of the room covering up most of the chalkboard. The teacher had the daily class objectives written on the chalkboard along with any homework that was going to be assigned for the day. Posters pertaining to grammar and literature filled the walls all around the room. There were several computers for student use in the back of the room. The teacher said that they were to give the student the option of writing their papers or typing them. (Field notebook, October 4, 2012, p. 1) After the class was over and all of the students left the room, the teacher spoke to us observers and told us that the next class is going to be a little different than the one that was just witnessed. This was the same classroom but according to the teacher half of the students had IEP’s, because of this there was another teacher that came to the room to help with the class. (Field notebook, October 4, 2012, p. 3) During this observation one of the...

...This was my first time doing a group project with this team and I am glad that I am able to blend and work well with them. From the frequent group discussion and interaction with my team, I was able to get to know them better and had created a stronger bonding with them. They had always been cooperative and diligently when coming up with ideas and research for the assignment. I really appreciate the initiatives and effort from them. Regardless of that, there is bound to have difficulties when it comes to doing group assignment. Firstly, as all of us are working adults and each individual had different working hours. Moreover, some of my group mates are also working parents, they may have other commitments to fulfill after work. Therefore, we were often left with very few hours each day for our individual research or group discussion. However, with today advance technology, my team mates suggested to use a sharing drive which we are able to edit and add in our suggestions, points and also engage in active discussion. As a result, instead of scheduling for a meet up, this drive become our main communication channel which is really very useful to all of us. This solves the difficulties that the group faced. I will strongly recommend Google Drive to anyone that is doing group assignment as this Google Drive allows every user to access and modify one similar document concurrently at anywhere that has internet connection. In addition, it also provides a chat log for us to have...

(Stefani) To turn in our assignments on time and to ensure we submit our parts of the individual assignments to the responsible team member for compiling the information at least 12-24 hours in before the assignments are due. B. (Angela) My goal for our team is to be able to communicate with one another and to be able to agree upon who is doing what and to be able to pull together and get the assignment turning in on time. 2. What are potential barriers to the achievement of these goals? A. (Stefani) Team members may not turn in their portion of the work on time. B.

This book has brought to my attention many things that I should be doing, but am not. Since it’s the beginning of a new semester and a new year, I figured that there is no better time to set some new goals than right now. I want to become a better learner. I plan on doing this by focusing on new qualities taught through the process of college, becoming more active in my learning process, and by working on being a more courageous and humble learner. My first goal is to focus on qualities taught through the learning process. Sometimes projects, assignments, or even classes themselves seem unnecessary. For...
