Final Blog

During this course we discussed many topics including different parts of the human brain and tasks they perform, the development of ones personality, memory, emotions, physiological disorders, and positive psychology.  The few topics that stood out to me where the human brain and physiological disorders.  I enjoyed this first topic because I was able to do the module task with my coaches daughter and I was able to learn a lot from her.  It was great to experience her learning and having fun with the task as well.  She learned what parts of her brain controlled her speaking and movements.  I enjoyed the physiological disorders section because there are so many things that can be going on in someones brain that you don't know about.  During the in class meeting I really enjoyed the second meeting because we were able to talk about positive Psychology and how simple tasks can make a big difference in the mental state of someones life.  Before taking this class I didn't have much prior knowledge about Psychology, but now I have more knowledge on these specific topics.  With all this knew knowledge I with writing blogs I enjoyed writing the one about my Great Grandmother the most because I got to think really deep about her personality.  I also enjoyed reading many of my piers blogs through out this class.  One person who had a blog that really stood out to me was Brandon.  His blog on his character study really good out to me.  I liked this blog because he wrote about his mom and how she has been a great influence in his life.  After writing the blog I really liked receiving the feedback from my piers through the blog comments.  In addition to the blogs there were also a lot of great videos throughout this course.  One of my favorite videos from this course was about positive psychology.  I liked this because there were many different options to help create positive thoughts.  This topic also stand out to me the most on a personal point of view.  Throughout my life I have always been into journaling and being able to get all of my feelings out on paper.  This technique has seemed to really help me get through some hard times.  Overall I had a really fun time in this class learning about different aspects of Psychology.  The online part of this class was very nice, it helped me be able to juggle other stuff in my life but also be able to have the right amount of time to be able to excel in this class.
