Psy/270 Week 1 Reflection

Counseling uses two types of assessment to get a better understanding of their clients which are testing and diagnosis. Clients have the privilege to understand the purpose of what an assessment process involves and counselors are responsible to maintain the security test that they use and the proper supervision for the test-taking process (Remley & Herlihy, 2014, p.289). Chapter 11 discusses the dynamics of using psychological tests when assisting to resolve clients’ problems.

Knowing that this book is very "wordy", I was excited to determine the readability of the text. To determine this I used a website created by Brian Scott. The site allows users to copy and paste passages from the textbook to be analyzed. From my textbook, I copied and pasted two separate sections. I copied from the introduction of

This week’s assignment started by directing us to complete a self-assessment, which I felt was a well laid out chart with established skills and a level in which to rate yourself from 1 being poor up to 5 being good. I think it was a good exercise, giving us a better insight to our strengths and weaknesses. I do in fact think that I learned something new about myself and could more easily answer the question of “tell me your strengths and weaknesses”, which is often asked at interviews or promotion boards.

Your patient voices concern about her upcoming visit. Explain how her memory could be affecting the concern. Also, explain how conditioning can affect attitudes toward healthcare. Describe some major strategies that contribute to memory retention, and give an example of each.

One of the important things that I learned from Demo and Fine chapter 4 and 5 is about the societal views of marriage and divorce. By reading chapter 4, it has been clear to me that marriage still reserved as the highest desired institution. However, I also shocked with the fact that marriage rates are higher for more educated men and women compared to prior generations that are lower for more educated individuals. About divorce, it is good to hear that the negative stigma associated with divorce is reduced over time even though it does not seem that it has become positive in the recent years.

According to Gleason and Ratner (2013), “In the United States, the proportion of children who are raised learning more than one language is estimated to be about 20 percent, with Spanish becoming the most common second language (Gleason & Ratner, 2013, p. 75). My interview this week was with a teacher, Mrs. T, who teaches young English learners. Mrs. T teaches children who are in the first grade. Because the school has a growing Hispanic population, the native language of the children she teaches is Spanish. The interview took place in her classroom during the last hour of the school day. I observed as she worked with one of her students in particular who seems to

The four testing categories used to verify the above lists are; Unit Testing, Integration Testing, System Testing, and Acceptance Testing.

During this initial session, the client stated she is seeking counseling to "help find herself" due to some concerns she is dealing with in her personal life. When asked "to describe what does finding herself mean" the client was unable to answer. The client struggled to provide her view or a meaning to certain issues she identified as concerns. The counselor then assesses the client's family and her interactions with her family to find a correlation in her family interaction and what changes she wants to make in her personal life. Initial impression from the counselor is the client is aware of herself and her family and what she views as a positive and negative interaction which has or could impact the way she views things now. The client

Drafting a final paper allows you to put together all the research you have conducted into one form and analyze it. Until I took this class, I honestly did not know half of the element involved in a proper research paper. I only knew the very basic components and not the fine details. I have learned that the fine details are the most important. Those details are what separates your paper from good to being great.

Week nine at Wild Dunes Resort consisted of 5 mid shifts: 10:00AM – 6:30AM again. This scheduled compiled with the capstone course and the project requirements has been a challenge as I have no off days and am not allowed to ask for any until April 10th which marks the end of the official spring break season. Juggling and organizing and obtaining very little sleep has become the norm for this last semester at Trident. I am definitely anticipating the end of this semester so life can return to some form of normalcy.

When I first heard that this assignment would require for is to log the meals that you consumed during a two day period I thought that may I should push it to two weeks. The reasons why I choose two weeks is because it would force me to become more dedicated to the task at hand forcing me to track a week's worth of meals. I would then during the second week force myself to eat from all of the required food groups/ eat the recommend intake and keep track of the proper of all of for a week.

I did not speak up. I kept quiet. Yet still, I recall memories of this event and say, had I known.

I Miressa brown, was absent from EDUC 7703 social, cultural, and ethical perspectives on June 25, 2015. A few years back my dad was diagnosed with 100% kidney failure. So the morning before class he informed me and my family that he has been urinating blood and was told by the VA hospital that he can't been seen until June, 25. So we make the trip to Augusta and have tons of test done. We were told that they would be getting in touch with us. A week goes by, and we still didn’t hear anything, finally we get a call saying that all the tests were negative and that they really didn’t know what was causing it. Being the responsible person that I am, I informed my job and professors of the issue to determine what I should do about missing that day. On This week in class the focus was gender.

Last semester I took PSY-P 211 class, which is method of experimental psychology class. In that class, I learned how to design and run an experiment and how to collect data. Besides, I also learned about the p-value. However, it is not detailed enough as I am not so understand about the p-value and the 95% confidence interval. When I am taking this K300 class this semester, now I know the real meaning of the p-value and the confidence interval in the experiment. Hence, I think this class really helped me to fully understand almost all of the basic stuff about experiment and writing research paper—about the 95% confidence interval, p-value, types of experiments and many more. I also love the fact that it is a statistic class that based on running simulation and not too much involved mathematics because I think this kind of class is more helpful especially for psychology major because it is so related to what we will do in the higher level psychology class, especially if someone is joining lab as we will use this knowledge on writing research paper and do analysis.

I picked this book because I’ve had it when I was very interested in psychology last year, but I never got around finishing it, and this was a great opportunity to do so. I have heard about this book online, and also in school when I took the Psychology course. The title was very intriguing to me, and I was even more intrigued
