Juliet Baptista Psy 459 G11
Reason For Juliet's Report
Juliet's name looked familiar when I was browsing through the index for
all generation. I thought I knew her But I actually don't have any
Idea who she is. I just went to her page and I started to have an
interest in what I see.
Steps That Lead Me to Juliet's
Report
I was browsing through all of the homepages of the past generations and
I thought that it would be best if I start to the one that is closest to
our generation. Juliet's name was first to appear when I clicked
at G11 homepages of Psychology 459. I thought that I would start
from the top and work on my way down the line if I was not interested in
what I read and see.
Summary
Juliets' report on tailgating behavior started the definition of tailgating
from other students from the past generations. She then included
her interpretation on what tailgating means and related it to the meanings
that was described by other students from the past generations. She
also mentioned that from a moral and ethical aspects tailgaters think that
they are not doing anything wrong. Furthermore, she also stated that
tailgaters may feel that they have the right to do whatever they want because
they only care about themselves. Juliet mentioned that she never
tailgates because she did not want to be the cause of any trouble or accident
that might happen while she is driving. Finally, Juliet again expressed
how she feels about tailgating on her conclusion and she also went ahead
and described her feelings and knowledge that she has gained in doing this
report.
My Reactions on Juliet's Report
I enjoyed reading juliet's report and browsing through her webpage as well.
I like the way she did her report because it is very simple yet it is very
informative. I enjoyed looking at the beautiful designs that Juliet
had on her page. The report is simple yet it covers a lot of information
and facts about tailgating.
Comparison to Other Reports
Juliet's report seems to be similar to the other reports that were done
by her peers. I thought that this report was very clear and straight
to the point. The looks of the page were simple yet when I started
to read the report, I gained more knowledge and gave me an idea on how
I should do my report.
by
Jason Thompson Psychology 459 G11
Reason For Jason's Report
I was interested in Jason's opinion about this music and driving.
I wanted to know what his thoughts are and how he feels about the combination
of music and driving. I thought that Jason had some interesting thoughts
and I made the assumption that I could get a lot of ideas about how music
and driving affects our societies today.
Steps That Lead Me To Jason's
Report
After looking at Juliet Baptista's webpage, I went back to the G11 webpage
of the 459. It is there that I saw Jason's nameon the list as one
of the G11 students. I thought that jason's webpage deserves to be
looked upon in hope that I may get something out of it.
Summary
Jason's report was about music and driving. Jason started his report
by summarizing all of the emails that was from G7 in regards to music and
driving. According to Jason, all of the email postings talk about
the issue of music and driving and how it affects their lives in different
ways. Jason expressed his thoughts about music and driving.
He stated that he agree with the fact that rock music wiht a strong beat
can have a stimulating effect on some people. Then Jason talked about
the typed of music he listens to. He said that it depends on what
kind of mood he is in because he believes that music can affect the way
a person feels and also can change a persons attitude towards something.
Finally, Jason included some internet sites where more topics about
music and driving could be found. He also summarized a part of Rothe's
book but I don't exactly know if it was the same book we are using this
semester for the psychology 459 class.
My Reaction
Jason did an excellent work in doing this report. Like Juliet, Jason's
report was straight to the poitn and informative. In addition to
all the information he provided, the internet sites that were also provided
in this report can be a very valuanle asset for the future generation who
is going to do a report on the same topic. There is not much ppicture
or design in Jason's report. However, just by simply reading his
report, I have gained more information and ideas that other people have
about music and driving.
Comparison to Other Reports
Every report that I saw was excellent. But they all reports have
their uniqueness in some ways. Jason' report was unique un a way
that is very simple yet it is very informative and precise. Jason's
report is one of the many excellent reports I have read by exploring the
past generations.
by
Carlene Yee Psychology 409b/459 G10
Reason for Carlene's Report
I was interested in how people would react if they were to be a driving
buddy. I also thought that this topic would be a good one because
I wanted to see the reaction of the people who agreed to participate in
being a driving buddy. I also just wanted to know the ideas that
Carlene used in doing this report.
Steps That Lead Me To Carlene's
Report
I was exploring the homepages of the past generation and I saw Carlene
Yee's name on the G10 list. I thought she was the daughter of my
former co worker at the bank. I decided to look at her webpage and
became eager to know what she had to say about being a driving buddy.
Summary
Carlene's report was on beig a driving buddy. Carlene started her
report like how most of the students started their reports. She had
other students from the past generations define what being a driving buddy
is and then she stated her own definitions as well. Carlene and the
other two students that she found from past generation defined driving
buddy as someone who is a passenger in a vehicle who makes suggestions
to the driver on how to improve. Carlene next described her experience
at the time she was doing an experiment and she had to be a driving buddy
of one of her friends. She then when on and recommend that, in doing
these experiment, one should be careful not to do it with either their
parents or somebody who taught them how to drive because all that person
is goin to get is insults from them. Carlene also mentioned the reasons
on why she did this report. One of her reasons was because it sounded
fun and the other is the curiousity if the driving buddy really help people.
At the end, Carlenesuggested in doing this kind of experiment, one should
remain calm and supportive and not stressed out.
My Reaction
I thought that Carlene did an exceptional job in doing her report.
She made every effort to find out if being a driving buddy really works
by asking her friend to do the driving buddy experiment with her knowing
the otcome or not so good response that she might get from her friend.
Carlene's report, just like everybody else was straight to the point and
precise. I also enjoyed the simplicity that I saw on Carlene's report.
The report looked simple and not much in colors but it is very informative
and full of knowledge about the topic.
Comparison To Other Reports
I thought that Carlene or anybody who did a report on the same topic did
an exceptional and challenging job. There's not much to be seen when
it comes to design and colors but if a person is looking for some informationabout
beng a driving buddy, these would one of the best place to look at.
I think that this report could be used by others as reference for their
report that deals with driving.
by
Irene Lau G8
Reason For Irene's Report
It seemed like Irene had a lot of informations to share about her topic.
Irene and I went to the same high school together. Irene was also
in my Psychology 371 class last spring. I was interested to seeor
read her opinions about her topic and also her view in what others say
about how drivers communicate.
Steps That Lead Me To Irene's
Report
Similar to the steps on how I found the other three reports. I ws
explorinf through the homepages of the past generations and when I explored
the homepage of G8 psychology 459 class, I saw her name and I thought that
it deserves to be looked at.
Summary
Irene's report started with her own definition of communication.
According to her, communication is social skill that we learned while we
were growing up. Furhtermore, Irene lso stated that as we grow older,
communication gets harder and harder.Irene then discussed other students'
ideas of communication by examining their reports. According to the
other students' report that Irene examined, one part of how we communicate
is by the gestures that we use whoch can be misinterpreted by others.
Irene also shared the resources that she got on the netun her report of
communication. One of the sites she found was about how people from
different cultures misunderstood each other by the way communicate.Irene
also shared a report that she found on the CSS
Engine and Site Indexes about Michelle Alonzo. Irene also shared
the database that she found where the topic of how drivers communicate
are further discussed and how drivers fom the other culture are discussed
as well Finally, Irene ended her report by expressing her feelings
while she was doing the report and the information that she gained from
doing this report.
My Reaction
Irene did an excellent job on her report. She was very informative
and precise where she explained in detail everything that she did and how
she found all of her resources. Her report was very organized, neat
and easy to understand. I do agree on what she said that communications
get harder and harder as we grow older because of the fact that I can experience
it on my everyday existence on this planet. It seems that a lot of
things you do can easily be misunderstood if you're not careful to do it.
I also have enjoyed looking at the pictures and designs that she have on
this report. Overall, I think Irene's report was very beautiful and
very informative.
Comparison To Other Reports
Irenes report was the best I have seen in her generation. All her
peers did a good job on their reports as well but I felt that none of the
other reports came to being close when it comes to giving information.
Irene's report was very informative and neatly organized. This report
coould be useful to future generations in doing some of their reports as
well.
Epilogue
In mining the generational curriculum, I have learbed the views of ohter
students from the past about certain topics dealing with driving and the
road. I enjoyed doing these activity because I have learned that
no matter what we do on the road we should all be considerate if other
drivers who are in the road. Mining the generational curriculum gave
me an idea on how to do my reports and how I could look for resources for
my report. I also enjoyed looking at the different sites and their
designs and the images that were on there.
Suggestion for Future Generation
As always, it is a good idea to start early in doing these report.
I feel that a person can do an excellent job if they do this report or
any other report for the fact that they can have the opportunity to make
changes and improve their report. Procrastination or doing it on
the last minute never work because nobody can do an excellent job in a
hurry. So remember to jsut take advantage of doing all of the assigned
task early and never do it on the last minute. Lastly, have fun doing
it and never take it as an obligation you have to do to get a good grade
but think of it as a game or a challenge that can be helpful to you and
to others in the future.
