Reid Lefler's Presentation Analysis

Over all I learned a lot more in both of these meetings that I didn’t know before. It made realize the importance of having an open mind. I also know I will need a lot more knowledge to be helpful to families I will be helping

It shows the thought process of someone who has ADHD very clearly which makes it effective but the audience can easily lose track as to what the topic of the moment is. He jumps around from topic to topic and back again which can be expected from someone who lives with ADHD. Once the audience is able to catch up on what is being discussed he makes very valid points on how this disorder should be handled to best benefit the child who is living with it. His personal stories in which he compares to his roommates stories show how drastically different a child’s life can be based on how a teacher/parent/principle/etc. handles the disability. Had he not shared that comparison I do not believe his speech would have made such an impact on the way people can view

Overall I think are presentation was good the reason why I think that is. Are presentation was about the apollo missions one through eleven and what each objective was for each mission. Each mission was an important role for nasa because they learned many things like the mistakes they made and the new things they discovered throughout the missions. It's fascinating how much they were able to achieve in a short period of time.

I found the videos this week to be fascinating and thought that they were very informational. I learned a lot about the brain and how it affected by Alzheimer’s and Dementia. When comparing the brain of someone who had Alzheimer’s, to someone who did not you could see a huge difference.

Give the title of the presentation, name of the presenter, and when and where you attended the presentation (2 points).

In Chapter One, it discussed psychology’s roots and big ideas. In the first section of the power point that explained about how psychology came to be, Sigmund Freud’s contribution to Psychological Science sparked my interest. I have conducted my own research on him just two years ago for a project in the eighth grade and learned much about his personal life. I also recall in your last lecture, you mentioned how he interpreted dreams as representations of what our sexual desires and urges were. The slide on psychology’s current perspectives attracted my attention as well, more specifically the perspectives on behavior genetics, social-cultural psychology, and psychodynamics. Psychodynamics’ focus is how behavior comes from unconscious urges,

I found Dr. William Deresiewicz’s presentation extremely interesting. His point was smart and he had certainly done the research to back it up. William himself was a good speaker who knew his audience fairly well. While many audience members seemed offended by some of Deresiewicz opinions, I felt he may have been misunderstood. I thought what he had to say was extremely valuable and I felt lucky that I got to hear him speak.

Over the course of this class I have pieced together many things about my own life that before went unnoticed. I am now able to see things in a bit of a different light. Now that I have been introduced to the realm of psychology I understand some of the reasons for behavior around me. I have learned that there is a reason for most everything and a lot of our behaviors and mental processes can be explained through psychology. Studies have been conducted for many years to try and pinpoint the source of our behavior and it is not something that most people think about every day. Having a better understanding of why we operate the way we do will help me to better understand myself and the others around me.

Curtis Hill’s presentation was a presentation that was full of compassion and love. He was so kind enough to share the personal story of his daughter with the whole student body in the auditorium. His daughter was a very successful student when she started her first years in college. She received top tier grades and before you knew It she pledged into a sorority on campus. It seemed like everything was going well for her but then she felt like she did not want to continue with school anymore . She started having thoughts of suicide, but soon she overcame them through the help of her family. His daughter showed resilience and came back to school and graduated!

The presentation of Kathleen Pena on How to Change a Disposable Diaper was actually pretty interesting. She included her thesis in her introduction which also had a great hook, in which she made a connection with the audience. The body paragraphs gave good explanation on the procedures on how to change a diaper, and on the tips. Which was explained clearly so that the audience could understand. Her conclusion ended with another connection with the audience, her whole speech had enough visual aids showing the procedures on changing a diaper. Overall she did a good job, but one thing that I noticed that she moved a

I found all of our simulations very interesting today. I gained an enormous amount of information which I am sure will enhance my skill performance. Our instructor was very helpful in explaining fetal monitoring and how to interpret the strips. I thought that she did an amazing job explaining how to read the strips and answering the questions we all had. I feel more confident about this material than I did prior to coming to clinical. I would have to say that learning more about this is one of

Gutman really engages with the audience and provides strong main points when he discusses a study that British researchers

To me, listening to this Ted Talk was very emotional and personal. I have been incredible blessed with parents in my life that love and accept me the way I am. However, I have not, or at least not much, challenged them in

This semester in Child Development has helped me a great deal. I came into this class wanting to be a Child Development teacher at the high school level. I am leaving this class with the same ambition to become a Child Development teacher. I have learned so much by taking this class and I know it will all be helpful in the future once I am standing at the front of a classroom. Also, just by watching the way Mary teaches the class, I have learned things that I want to take into my own style of teaching.

I learned a great deal about the classroom environment, classroom administration, and classroom procedures in the special education. There is a great deal of preparation and training for professionals in special education. I got a closer examination and engagement with these kinds of
