PSYCH 228

It seems as though this is my last blog post for the course, so I figured I would write about some of my favorite things that I learned. Although we learned a lot in a very short period of time I still managed to stay with the readings and enable myself to learn the information needed to succeed. There were three main points during the semester that I will remember after this class is over and for years to come. The research of Piaget, bullying, and our case studies are my big three from this class. The tactics and strategies and overall research of Piaget is very interesting to me. The way he worked with children in their earliest years and documented every step intrigued me. I think it is amazing what he did for this branch of psychology and without him I think research would be very different today. I also enjoyed reading about bullies and the long-term as well as short-term effects they have on not only the victims, but the bullies themselves as well as innocent bystanders. A final note comes from the three case studies. I learned a lot just by researching each of the topics as well as writing the papers. Although each case was different I felt as though in some way that I could relate to all three.
