Brainstorm possible choices

/in /by

In Chapter 8 of the webtext, you’ll read Demystifying Decision-Making, an article by Maud Purcell (2016) that offers four steps in the decision making process:

1. Clearly define the problem

2. Brainstorm possible choices

3. List the pros and cons of each choice

4. Engage your feelings as well as your intellect

In this discussion, we want you to engage in the decision making process as it relates to earning your degree. In your post, focus on step 1 (clearly defining the problem) and step 2 (brainstorm possible choices) of the decision making process.

Answer these questions in your discussion post:

· What problem will earning your degree solve?

· Brainstorm three things that you can do today to start to prepare yourself for your future goals.

For example, maybe you are earning your degree at Strayer to change your career from retail to accounting. The problem that you are working to solve is how to gain the knowledge, skills, and credentials that will allow you to get a job as an entry-level accountant.

Similarly, three things that you can do today to help with your goal might be:

· Create a profile on LinkedIn

· Network with accounting firms in my area to find out what they look for in new hires

· Research and join a professional association for accounting

If you need help brainstorming activities, check out our Career Services through iCampus.

To receive full credit, remember to write 2 posts in the discussion: one original and a response to another student. Your original should be at least 7 sentences, and your reply should be 4 sentences.

Students: How to Write Your Paper:

First:

Read the chapters in your textbook on: Sensation and Perception from Learning Unit #3

Second:

Eventually, when you start to write your paper, you will need to create two (2) groups of facts or items.

Group One:

The first group will be made up of “Critical Thinking Questions” (CTQ’s):

A.) Select five (5) different facts or items and type up one question (Critical Thinking Question “CTQ”) about each fact or item. The question should ask one of the following CTQ’s: “Who,” “What,” “Where,” “How,” “Why,” “When,” or “Which” about the fact or item you have selected. Type these questions in bold black ink followed by the correct answer to your question and type that answer in italicized black ink.

Group Two:

The second group will be made up of “Critical Thinking Descriptors” (CTD’s):

B.) Select five (5) different facts or items and type up one statement (Critical Thinking Descriptor “CTD”) about each fact or item. These descriptors should address one of the following CTD’s: “State,” “Describe,” “Explain,” “Define,” “Compare,” “Contrast,” and “List” about what you have selected. Type these questions in bold black ink followed by the correct answer to your question and type that answer in italicized black ink.

Third:

Begin each question or statement with one of the CTQ’s or CTD’s you have chosen from the list but never use the same CTQ or CTD more than once.

Fourth:

Write the CTQ’s first; number each of them 1 through 5 so they stand alone as separate one from another.

Fifth:

Write the CTD’s second; number each of them 6 through 10 so they stand alone as separate one from another.

Social Psychology Essay

/in /by

Students should select one or two central topics discussed during the semester and write about how the topic(s) is relevant to you and your life.  For example, for the chapter on prejudice, you might write about a time you directly or indirectly experienced some form of prejudice. Alternatively, you could analyze a television commercial with an eye toward the material covering the use of persuasion to increase compliance.  Remember, this assignment is intended to help you recognize how the material covered in class is personally relevant, as well as to encourage you to think critically about the concepts presented instead of passively accepting them as truths.  Thus it is acceptable (and commendable) to include in your paper a discussion of the reasons why you agree/disagree with what the author is saying.  To reiterate, each paper must have the following two components: a review (including proper citation) of the concept from the text to be discussed; and second, your thoughts/feelings on this topic and a discussion of how it applies to your life including whether you agree/disagree with what the author has said.

The topics are Hindsight Bias  and Fundamental Attribution Error( internal and external), you can use both or write just about fundamental attribution
