Where Am I In This Class?
I feel I am in pretty much the same situation I usually am in when taking a course near the end of the semester. I have a pretty good understanding of the main points of each school of psychology. However, I just got finished looking at the sample multiple choice questions and my test-taking phobia has got me second guessing myself again. I really don't like multiple choice questions that have answers like "none of the above" and especially "a and b, not c, and sometimes d." I feel the same way about the analogies they are finally getting rid of on the SATs. I would spend way too much time debating how the answer I was pretty sure was wrong could be right if you looked at it from a different perspective. I'm aware that I'm going to have to go over some of the readings and my notes before this next class, or I could see a major hit to my grade. One thing that bothers me is that I will probably not remember half the stuff I'm going to "know" by next Friday six months from now. Most of it will be lost along the way. I hope I do not forget some of the things I've learned. Maslow's hierarchy of self-actualization, Skinner's operant conditioning, the precepts of the Humanistic approach are a few of the basics I hope guide me as I continue to teach and raise a family.
