I myself am a very deep thinker; a passionate person in every aspect. This class has been helpful to me on so many levels. Whether it be the understanding that thinking in reason explains only a very small aspect of the causes of our emotions and behavior, or the understanding of the brain and its learning process, the things I have learned are invaluable to me when looking upon my future life and career.
Not only has this class helped me to understand myself, it has helped to understanding others and enhanced my ability to be a leader in my future; and even further it has helped me to be an effective and valuable member to whatever corporation or company I become a part of in my future.
An Invaluable Learning Experience
I've always found psychology interesting and taking this class has only increased this. I'm always happy when I can apply something I've learned in a class to my everyday life, and not just learning something for the sake of the one test. A majority of the topics we've covered this semester, I'm just like "whoa" that makes sense. One example of this is when we watched a clip of the Big Bang Theory in discussion. I was first surprised that these concepts are used on television shows that are for enjoyment and I was also surprised when I watched later episodes that I understood the majority of their references. The second one was the two factor theory, which still surprises me how present it is in our everyday life.
I came into this class not knowing that much about psychology but what I have learned will be so valuable to me throughout my lifetime no matter what career I pursue. It has helped me to learn about myself and about others. The mind is a mystery but this course has helped me to understand it a little better.
I feel the same exact way. I've always loved pyschology growing up and when I took it in High School I loved it even more. It helped me not only just look at things and people in different ways but made it possible for me to understand those different ways of looking at people. Like why they did what they did in a certain situation. Humans and the brain is a wonderful and mysterious thing and taking pyschology has opened my eyes to so many new things but also made it known that I know only a fraction there is to know out there.
