School/Course# SS 138               

 Title      Attitude Change

 Instructor     Don Poe
I took this class because it is the subject of my Division 11 and therefore I gained a lot from the class itself as a way to be introduced to a variety of new concepts. I really liked this class, and although I did not participate as often as I usually do, I did participate more than I usually do in classes of this size (40-50 students). While it was a level 100 class, I often did not find it as challenging as I would have liked-which instead of creating apathy on my part, it created a drive to do further research and reading outside of class assignments. At the very least, I did all of the reading on time (and except for the first writing assignment) spent a great deal of time researching and composing my written work. What I still need to desperately work on (as was made clear to me this semester through this and my other classes) is the proofreading stage in my writing process. I handed in a lot of assignments that I realized (once I got them back) had embarrassing errors that would have been unnecessary if I had only spent more time proofreading. I found reading and critically analyzing social psychology experiments for this class to be very challenging ... it never fails that I miss some major aspect in my analysis ... obviously yet another skill to work on. All in all I found this class very enjoyable and I gained a broad basis of knowledge for which I can now choose from in deciding the direction of my Div II.
