Paragraph 1
I was born in Tiffin Ohio but have lived all over America because I am working on academic research projects. I have lived in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, California, and WA State. I have a research think tank, which takes up a huge amount of my time.
My interests include researching history, physics, anthropology/archaeology, mathematics, ancient cultures, etc. to name a few.
The goals of this course are to obtain a firm grasp of the fundamentals of the subject. What is the subject to find out what the working portions and in effect gears of this subject are. The goals and expectations of the subject are to finish this class with a solid foundation of what the subject is, in order to progress forward in your future education to build on what you learned in this class.
However, once a solid foundation of the subject is achieved, how that subject applies to you and your future career in substantive posts is encouraged (Stallman, H. M. (2010). The foundation of the subject and brief examples how it applies to your life is acceptable.
In the field of Psychology, what is the definition of the word. In about 20 of the 50 versions of Greek from Proto through classic to part Greek Latin the definition is actually the “stuff” which allows for cognitive thoughts. Which is actually electricity and the quantum field. But that is the definition of the first word. The second word ology is Latin for the study of. So Latin first is last, last is first, mind the study of become, the study of the mind.
Paragraph 2
In a classroom I would be teaching in, my goal would be to have a generalized application of the topic of each classroom but be open to where the discussions go. Of course, have a recording of the lecture in order to be able to follow up on some of the ideas presented in the class.
To have information and expressions of the topic brought up but stick on topic. But not be so ridged that my understanding of “on topic” does not mean everyone has the same definition of “on topic”. Which is where many militant teachers have torturous classrooms, they want their students to only talk about what they want to talk about in class and not deviate one letter from what they have decided is the topic. Break the trust of the class and it becomes close to impossible to win the trust back. Build an academically friendly classroom.
Different people need different aspects of the following applications (Ambrose, S. A., Bridges, M. W., DiPietro, M., Lovett, M. C., & Norman, M. K. (2010). Each word and meaning per culture have different meanings. It is in part the teacher’s job to find out how to interact with each student. How do they need the following applied to them.
Patient, caring, and kind personality
Knowledge of learners
Dedication to teaching
Engaging students in learning
My introduction fosters my classroom by my own struggles with academics and my understanding of struggles any student may have.
