It offers fundamental familiarity about the American Psychologist Association (herewith called APA) ethical and legal requirements. Plus it directs a student toward comparing the APA’s standard methods used for the research theory process versus bible standards.

In an attempt to gain a position as a psychologist, I will be discussing schizophrenia and the disorder’s casual factors, associated symptoms, the areas of the brain it affects, and the neural basis of the disorder. I will continue on to discuss appropriate drug therapies. In addition I will also be reviewing two separate case studies, each on a different disorder.

The goal of parole is to reduce recidivism and help rehabilitate offenders. That is not always the case; offenders will reoffend anyways and be sent back to prison to finish out their sentence. There are many programs out there that try to help parolees become a part of the community again and stay out of trouble. The programs are out there; it is up to the parolees to join them and stay committed. The programs goals are to help the offenders reintegrate into society by using procedures and community resources.

This week I learned about differe\irente instruction. I also learn how to implement a lesson plan to meet the needs for each students in the classroom. Each child learning style is different one child might understand the problem one way and then another child might solve the problem a whole different way. I learned about exceptional children and how they need intensive learning and individualize learning. That why it is important to observe and know each individual child so you can support them to the bset of their ability. My host teacher used different strategies to help the students understand the problem. When I did my lesson plan if was a challenge and time consumer.I likle how the lesson plan met the needs of the children. The teacher put the students in different groups so they acn help each other learn. Sometimes children learn best and better from other children.My host teachger explain to me that

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.

My experiences upon completing PSY7620 was a combination of positive and negative. To begin with, I have never been good at grasping mathematical concepts. My positive experiences was that I did receive a 100% on one of my assignments but on the other hand, terribly failed another assignment. It was a positive experience to know that I can understand some concepts of statistics. The anxiety of math has not changed over the course of the class, as I still struggled quite a bit with applying the concepts. I was able to clearly express all concepts in our discussions, but the applying of concepts just doesn’t go with the way my mind works. I will never see math as one of my strong points, hence why I am in a field of social work that does

Upon completing the PsyCap self-assessment, I received a feedback of “High level” in all of the categories. Just like the Big Five assessment, I was unsure what the assessments had to do with my efforts in work, until I dug deeper into the reading material; in which, changed my perspective on the assessments. According to Fred Luthans a professor at University of Nebraska, states “those with high levels of positive psychological capital, also known as, “PsyCap”, have higher levels of hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism (HERO) (Kinicki & Fugate, 2016)”. Understanding the qualities on the assessment of your Psycap, has been shown to foretell many of the results in the Integrative Framework, such as, aggregating the job gratification, commitment, organization, and your security; while reducing intentions to quit, anxiety and job stress (Kinicki & Fugate, 2016). These individual qualities will be explain more in depth in the writing, with also providing some examples and details of how each quality will relate to my work place and how they may help me achieve my upcoming career goals.
