The Tco that relates to the chapter is Number one “given status as a new college student in a diverse and rigorous learning environment, identify effective study and time management habits, distinguish between multiple intelligences and learning styles, and identify new learning processes within the framework of personal responsibility and accountability”.
The main points of the chapter include managing emotional information, and how to use critical thinking skills. Managing information and critical thinking means your emotions have to be just right to make the right decisions if your mind is not right than your decisions will be the same. The chapter has vital information on steps how to manage the emotional information, one side of your emotions is the dark side “negative thoughts” and the other side is the light side “very optimistic thinker”. If you find out where you stand either dark or light than look at the emotional spectrum and find out which side of the pole you are on. There is very few light side options and way more dark side options this is due to the fact that negativity is far my common than optimism.
How I would apply these tips to my life? Well for starters I am already a very optimistic person I see the good in every bad situation I have always been that way. Sometimes emotions do get in the way but I usually just say something about it so that it’s not bottling up inside me until I explode like most people nowadays. All and all the chapter had some good information for me to use if I ever fall to the dark side and turn into a sith lord… star wars
