Recommended: benefits of study habits on academic performance

In many instances today you will hear a student state that they only took a class because it was required and that they did not learn anything. That is very sad. I feel that it is important to learn from every class. If I do not take something away from the class then I feel like it was just a waste of my time and money. Why would I want to waste my time and money on something that I am not going to put the effort into learning? This class was no different than any other class that I have taken. I can provide examples of new knowledge and understanding, skills, attitudes and dispositions, personal insights and applications, and future projections that I have obtained through this class session.
Knowledge and Understanding One aspect …show more content…

It is not that I did not learn anything, because I learned a lot in this class; it is more the fact that this course was basically a continuation of Accounting 110. I came into this class with the same attitudes and dispositions that I had when I exited Accounting 110. I do feel that I could do a more professional job due to taking this course. I am more confident in my work, but that is pretty much the only change. I do know that this class definitely affirmed one thing for me; accounting is a whole lot of work. I think that I am happy that I am majoring in …show more content…

I have managed to stay pretty laid back in this course. I am hoping that I can continue on that trend, because it made this course so much more enjoyable than a lot of my other courses. I know that this may not be considered something that I learned from accounting, but in my opinion it is. Accounting is all about the details, and if I am constantly stressing out I will make mistakes. So if I stay relaxed and calmly think things through, I will be more successful in the future. A good example of this would be the journal sheets that we have at work. For years, I had to zero the sheets by hand. It seemed like every time that I did it, I would come out a little off. I would get so frustrated, yet it would not come out right. I finally found that if I just backed off and calmed down, I would usually find the small mistake. I think that taking this class will help remind me to stay calm and think things through

    When looking at not just this class but all of my classes and looking at how I have been approaching them versus how I should approach them it definitely puts my mind in a different perspective because I am a person that “strives for excellence” and if I am able to “ace” a class then I definitely try and do that but a lot of the time that doesn’t mean sitting there and actually learning the information it means

    I learned that I have a control issue and that my OCD gets in the way. I am not going to lie I contemplated several times about quitting online learning. I felt that I was not as smart as others are and when I would not get good feedback, I started to doubt my ability to go on. I am afraid to consult with my instructor for the fact of sounding less intelligent. When you got assignments that did not make sense that was because I was afraid to ask. What I enjoyed most about this class was getting a better understanding of what type of learner I am, and why I do the things I do. I never knew there was even a test that could tell you what type of learner you are. What I would change about this class is nothing. This class made you think about your learning. It did that plus some. My expectations were met because this class had a purpose to show each of us what kind of learners we are. It changed my mindset and it met my expectations

    Over the course of this class I have pieced together many things about my own life that before went unnoticed. I am now able to see things in a bit of a different light. Now that I have been introduced to the realm of psychology I understand some of the reasons for behavior around me. I have learned that there is a reason for most everything and a lot of our behaviors and mental processes can be explained through psychology. Studies have been conducted for many years to try and pinpoint the source of our behavior and it is not something that most people think about every day. Having a better understanding of why we operate the way we do will help me to better understand myself and the others around me.

    In our culture today, there is a huge emphasis on education, especially higher education. Society basically says the more educated you are, the better off you are. That is pretty much true if you live by the means of society.

    Overall, I have learned a lot from this class. I must say there are topics that I am still confused about but only because I am just know understanding life from a different perspective. I am more open to now ask questions about things that I am not used to or even brought up around. For example, sexual libertarianism has views that sex is one of woman greatest power while I was thought that the vagina is one of women greatest power. I guess they both work together in sense of showing that women have a lot of

    Without the discussions that we did in this course, I do not believe I would have gotten as much out of this class as what I have with them. The discussions and simulations have been my two favorite things about this class. It is probably because I love hands-on activities. I have always learned better when interacting with others. The things I have learned in the discussions will always help me in everyday life. For one, I think it has made me more respectful of other people's political views. They have also taught me many things that I had no previous knowledge of before this class. Many of the ideas that my fellow students mentioned I would have never have thought of and probably never would have if they had not mentioned them.

    There was a significant amount of knowledge given in this course, involving concepts that in our teaching career will be extremely important. From this course I have gained a significant amount of learning experiences. I had the pleasure learning about how the educational system has come to be what it is today and who were the important people in the creation of the public education, like Horace Mann. Watching the videos and reading the chapters required has opened my eyes more of how a teacher should respond to different situations involving a student, For example when we read the chapter on the laws that revolve around the educators and the students. I had absolutely no clue that students had rights while in school property. Another learning

    Taking this class this semester has really changed the way that I have viewed myself when it has come to work and the different companies that I have worked before. I have taken a psychology class before but I have never taken one that relates to management and organizations. This class has really helped me answer different questions such as why I was unhappy at some jobs, enjoyed some managers over others, and what motivated me to work hard at jobs. It’s good to learn that there are different terms and definitions for different feeling and things I experienced at jobs to know that their other people experiencing these things also. I will be going into a management position after I graduate, and this class helped me to learn many different ways to go about managing and things to avoid to keep a positive working environment.
