While making my PSA, for wealth distribution, there were a number of problems that I faced. On my PSA, I intentionally used less words and more graphs. I did this because this is a pretty intense political topic that people would likely want to avoid looking into and this topic requires a lot of information to fully grasp much understanding of it. I chose to use graphs because I felt like it showed more information in a more concise manner. Also, I felt that a visual representation would be easier to understand than a bunch of percentages and statistics. I also chose to leave my poster fairly colorless because I felt that the colorful graphs would attract enough attention to the poster and I didn’t want some background image to distract …show more content…
I really enjoyed how much freedom we got in the class, every assignment was left open ended, we were allowed to do the assignment on pretty much anything we wanted. Since the assignment topics were up to us I really don’t think I was even left stressing out about an assignment because I had the opportunity to choose a topic that I had interest in. One of the only thing I really didn’t like about the course was the use of the textbook because I felt that a lot of the information in it was pretty general information that most college freshmen should already know. I did like that there wasn’t a huge amount of pressure put onto our use of the text book though, so that it wasn’t going to be detrimental to our grade if we missed a reading assignment here or there. Also, I liked that most of the days after we had a reading we would split into groups to discuss the reading so that if there was something that we didn’t understand it could be explained to us by one of the other students in the class. I felt that the powerpoints and presentations could have replaced a lot of the text book because they were much more clear and right to the point, it didn’t have any useless filler like I felt the textbook had. I also liked that we handed in a draft and got it back before out final draft was due. The comments were always clear and showed where I could improve and what I needed to change. I feel like this took away a lot of the stress
I am most nervous that this course is heavy on reading but I am prepared to get past my apprehension. I am very excited that I will be reading different types of literature because
I am amazed at how the reading assignments in this class interest me. I gave up my leisure reading in order to have the time to attend this school, and I find myself losing my self in this reading, just like my "fun" books.
Many examiners of behaviors will say that PSAs are notharitable groups, corporations, and nonprofit organizations usually create public service announcements to change actions, raise awareness, or change the attitude of the public using a televised ad worth the cost of making and have no effect in changing behaviorTV channels will air PSAs for no charge, which is a great help to the group who spends time and money to make the PSAA public service announcement is an ad used to display a message to the public. The goal of the PSA is to raise awareness of a subject, change the attitude of the public, or change actions in regards to The overall goal of the PSA is to be memorable and to change actions.

In our PSA my group and I used anecdotes and theme to show ethos in order to strengthen our message, and to persuade viewers to do their homework.
As for the material covered in this course, I both mostly positive feedback with the occasional critique. The books we have read have been very intriguing, for the most part, they find a way to be informative while still turning that information into a story. The storytelling aspect of each book made them easier to follow and consequently made it so that I could absorb more of the information in the book. Snowball Earth was a perfect example of this and a perfect way to begin this class. To first learn about the origin of complex life from the point of view of a man as entertaining as Paul Hoffman was the way to go and I would recommend keeping this book as a part of the course. As for Remarkable Creatures, this was honestly my least favorite book that we read the entire semester. While I understand that the point of the course is too learn new information, this book was just too informative and dry. It was hard to get through and while it opened my eyes to some of the people behind monumental discoveries
You were not alone in feeling all the mix emotions that this course caused you to have because I too felt the same way. I do agree that this course was not what I expected but do agree that one thing we leave with is having a better understanding of cultural authenticity and being able to question a piece of literature prior to picking it up and sharing without reviewing first. Prior to this course I would never have given any Disney movie like “Brave” a second thought but now our minds will tend to be more aware of those types of things and will give us a great opportunity to have a teachable moment with the audience.
In the first few weeks this class was hard and challenging for me the reason was that I needed to do more reading for To Kill A Mockingbird, and learn how to write an effective writing that could help me in my assignments. When the first month of school was over I realized that the assignments are getting easier for me it was getting easier for me because I know what was going on in class so I could do my best.
I had a difficult time conjuring changes that I’d make to this course. In all honesty, I felt as if this course is near-perfectly constructed as is. If I had to come with a suggestion it would be to find ways use class time to harbor back what we had learned much earlier; particularly from the slides and article reviews. The length of the semester coupled with the sheer magnitude of content covered in this class can make it easy for one to forget about what they’ve learned earlier on. I find myself struggling with this problem now, as I frantically try to reintroduce myself to some of the material in the earlier lectures and article reviews as I prepare for the final
Equipment cost: We pay for annual service equipment to keep the instrument running for free-PSA. We also pay for the monthly lease of equipment, and we occur instrument depreciation.
We worked hard on the difficult project day and night. I felt we accomplished a lot by writing the draft proposal everyday.
I think I did a decent job at explaining the abilities in relation to my artwork. The pieces that best demonstrate that are my condom PSA’s and the book cover project. I used problem solving in both of these assignments. In the book cover assignment, I had to use problem solving to figure out the proportions of my images, what colors would be aesthetically pleasing yet not overwhelming, and I needed to start over the following class period. All of my work on that project had been deleted. Therefore, I had to quickly come up with a similar concept that would work and wasn’t too time consuming. The condom PSA’s used problem solving by figuring out what positions would look best for the condoms, which lighting position would work the best, and
The reading this week was without a doubt the most unique book I’ve ever read, so it was both difficult to read and very interesting. I had an extremely hard time keeping all the names of each of the characters straight because they were such unique names, so I kept having to go back to figure out who was who. This made the reading take me a lot longer than I thought it would. However, I did actually enjoy reading the book because it was organized as just a story. This was very refreshing to me because I feel like all I ever read are informational books for classes, so being able to sit back and read a story was very relaxing. I also really enjoyed having the past knowledge from Pal’s book because it allowed me to interpret
I really liked our “forum posts.” Before this class, I had never used posts as a part of class assignments. Giving my opinion on the topic discussed in class was the most fascinating thing I experienced. I had never given my opinion is such a manner, that is letting everyone know what I think. Whereas, while replying I sometimes realized those things which never came in my mind. I got to learn the fact that people have different viewpoints on the same subject matter.
I completely love this class. It is rare that I enroll in a class that discusses current life issues that are affecting my community and my identity. Before this class, I had never heard of epistemic violence or anti-black racism, but now I know what these concepts mean and how I can identify it. This class gives me an opportunity to talk about issues that I always wanted to talk about or bring awareness to. It is like therapy where each person can speak their mind without feeling as though other people will judge them. In addition to this I love that we are divided into groups and in those groups, we discuss the book reading together and try to come up with possible solutions of addressing the issues.
APRA was established following the Wallis Committee’s recommendation in 1 July 1998 under Australian Prudential Regulation Authority Act. In the amended Banking Act 1959(Cth), responsibility for the conduct of prudential supervision and depositor protection moves from the Reserve Bank to APRA. Its intention is to provide for a ‘more consistent, competitively neutral and efficient approach to the regulation of financial institutions, while enhancing overall depositor protection and financial system stability’1. This paper will thus find out about ARPA’s responsibilities related to banking in traditional sense of the term.
