signature assignment and other course work? Be specific.
What was your biggest accomplishment in the course? If relevant, how did the
signature assignment and other course elements help you reach it? Be specific.

Honestly I highly enjoyed this course. Psychology is a fun subject to study and I

had a down-to-earth professor to help me with the course. In regards to mastering a skill

there is a tie between to different acquired skills. The first skill being that I was able to

prioritize my work and was able to finish some of my assignments days before their due

date (sometimes). With everything I was trying to do this summer it was difficult at first to

get the bearings of my online classes like this one; nevertheless I eventually to get my

work done in a proficient habit and was able to maintain that habit till the end of the

semester.

The second skill was getting a better understand oh how people work and who I

am. This skill became simpler and simpler because during the course we went over how

people think and the outcomes of how people think and behave (because thats what

psychology is mainly about).

These skills are reflected from my signature assignment because not only did I

submit the assignment days in advance but I talked about all the knowledge I gained

from working on the course to not only further the horizon of my knowledge but to also

finding how who I am and how I think. More specifically I talked about acquiring

knowledge about the central nervous system and limbic system to understand the

physiology and anatomy of the brain and then mirroring that over my behavioral traits.
 One more assignment I think reflect my coursework is the assignment requiring

us to watch Ted Talk videos and then elaborating with posted classmate responses to

the questions about the video. Not only did I finish the assignment on time but it was

great to listen to other peoples notions and compare them to my own.

Overall, the assignments I spoke about helped me master my skills of better

understanding who I am and obtaining a good habit of submitting assignments. The

assignments Ive worked on show this not only because they were submitted on time but

they contained a lot of passionate words that werent impetuous. They are coherent,

valid, and genuine. Not to mention, it does more than enough to reflect the skills Ive

acquired.

One more thing Id like to mention is how Ive made huge accomplishments

during this course. I was able to break the habit of procrastinating for assignments, able

to turn in assignments on time (for the assignments I remembered to work on), and how

Im retaining the information about psychology. Besides the brain anatomy and a handful

of popular old psychology experiments I had no other knowledge about psych and Im

more than satisfied with the fact that Im well knowledged for the material Ive been

exposed to.
