After the 1st group dynamics test

Permanent Linkby xod_s on Tue Feb 11, 2014 8:38 pm

I just finished my group dynamics test @3 without doing a full check over of my scantron and on paper responses to the multiple choice test.Love the class,like the language of the test even though that is what makes it tricky.There are answers that are more alluring to me b/c of how I know (or at least "think) them to be true.I work thru it okay but there some some ambiguity with the answers.

Better than the "soch"^1 where my first mark on test I got back was almost 66% =_= .I personally am a bit angry at myself.For one I LOVE sociology^2 but on the other hand I can see how I screwed up with the English homework I was mediocrely rushing thru last week ^3 which reminded me that my soch test was that week in the class straight after group dynamics but I was "overconfident"/ underestimating it enough that I didn't study for it esp.in the face of other hefty work. :| H-- I even got 3/4 on my first developmental psych test when the rest of class apparently got a 65 average range and that test (b/c of the units) had some harder stuff like on embryonic development.

I'm not in soch right now b/c I came outta the group dynamics test which takes an hour while the soch class is at 4.I'd describe the group dynamics test as a variant of sociology which with it's orientation of purpose of small groups and interpreting small groups is sorta like soch from an wholly (symbolic interactionist?) perspective with bits of psych^4 .

Thinking back to yesterday's posting I thought the name "unsolved problems in philosophy" in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems_in_philosophy link makes me laugh b/c in my mind..

"unsolved problems in philosophy :mrgreen: ?.EVERYTHING xD !."

and thinking back to having skimmed thru an earlier blog entry of my mine when I said it was a sham how the computer/info tech programs here accept anyone openly?.The general arts and science program doesn't.It's no sham to how open and accepting they are of ppl who come into to it and pick from the fun stuff they have to offer^5 .

I swear.Even though "diminishing returns" comes to mind there's a concept from economics that's socially analogous to spending your time doing something else when you can spend your time doing something more useful (doing what homework I can in an hour rather than blogging for ex. :roll: ) .
It's like rolling around my head.I know it's there but the letters that makes the word that encapsulate it aren't there.

There's also a specific word for a belief in Christianity for when you think that stuff like miracles ,divine epiphanies to prophets and holy ppl and such only happened in a specific era as well.I saw it once while wondering on Wikipedia ^6 .I don't personally *believe* that to be the case even with the slight nudging in my mind that,that might be the case though I can see how other ppl might think so in that idea.

Being introspective on how your "lazy in your own way" so to speak isn't a good way to spend time,eh ^_^ ?. :roll: Oh paradoxes and paradoxes on ppl's actions and thoughts.

^1 shortened phonetic (?) of "socio" from sociology

^2 Oh the things circling around me head delightfully when I think of it and related topics :roll:

^3 I was "scoring" a soundtrack/playlist for one of the short stories we've read in class already."The book of sand" by Jorge Luis Borges is the one I choose but there's still something left to say about the (quality =_= -~- ) of the written part where I was suppose to describe why I choose the songs I did.

Thinking on my treatment of homework yesterday those are instances of my overconfidence.*MY KIND* of overconfidence.Not the more typical thought of kind of some cocky chatter saying gloating about how he always get's top mark and no one can top him.My overconfidence is a kind of underestimation of how pressing I've got to be from the start in dedicating to homework even if it's old hattish topics to me like writing an essay of treatment of Japanese Canadians in World War II interment camps and even if I do know which "routes" (websites) to go for,for information and even if I got a little bit an outline.When I got doen to it I filled in the outline until it became a "fleshy" but it so d---n prosaic and underwhelming in the face of the great sources I found.To have used those sources better would've taken at least 3 days of serious thought prior not 2 days of planning a "crunch time" like I did.H--- I even actually handed in a lousily done bibliography and formatting things to APA format is a pain in the a--- >_< !.A tedious time consuming pain >~< :| .

^4 The teacher has an undergrad in psych and did Master's stuff on neurosci and teach's the enviro sustainability class I'm in.

^5 God I sound so corny but is it any more when you actually love,like and have fun in the classes available :roll: ?

^6 As usual -u- :roll: '' ^_^
