Prof. Jose Antonio Clemente
3rd Long Exam

1. Choose only one (1) topic from the last 4 group facilitations we had in class (attraction, sexuality, sleep&dreams, happiness). Answer the following:
a) Is there a need to discuss and study this topic? Why do you think so?
b) Give one (1) unforgettable/most important/most liked piece of information you got from your chosen topic. Why was it memorable for you?

a) Sleep and dreams? Para sa akin mahalaga siya, because the amount of sleep [or lack thereof] accurately defines the kind of day I will have the next morning. So I have to understand why that happens. And my life virtually revolves around a 14-year old dream… =)
b) Yung sinabi nyo po sa amin na “remembering dreams is a skill” or something to that effect. Akala ko kasi normal lang yung may maalala kang 14-year old na panaginip. It seems that I am not normal after all [haha!]...

2. Kindly assess the group facilitation in class by answering the following questions:
a) What group facilitation did you like the most? Why?
b) What group facilitation did you like the least? Why?
c) Do you think I should continue the group facilitation as a requirement in class? Why or why not?

a) Happiness!! Siguro dahil last facilitation na kasi yun, and they really wanted it to be the best, as we [well, I] expected it to be. Perhaps if we had more time, probably natapos yung report flawlessly.
b) Yung sa amin, which was Attraction and Love. Pakiramdam ko nagkalat ako eh, and I seriously thought we could’ve done better.
c) Of course, Sir. If there were no group facilitations marami akong hindi nakilala sa class natin. Hindi naman po kasi maiiwasang merong mga batang sadyang mahiyain-slash-tahimik lang talaga eh, even if they’re really good.

3. After 1 semester of Psych101, what was the most important skill and/or knowledge you learned in our class? Briefly explain your answer.

Ever since I took this course I’ve always tried to look at any single event or phenomenon through different perspectives. Siguro mababaw lang ako, but I realized na hindi porket tama ang isa, mali na ang iba. This is the case for Psychology, and is certainly the case for everything else. Each and every truth or assertion is always relative, always highly subjective. At dahil nga nahinuha ko na ganun pala, alam ko na rin ang halaga ng pagbibigay ng respeto sa bawat isang paninindigan o pananaw ng bawat taong nakakasalamuha ko… maging sino man siya [nyak!].

4. Psych101 as a course is a work in progress. Any suggestions how I can improve the class?

Well, first of all you’ll have to actually teach it again, Sir [sabi nyo po kasi hindi na muna kayo magtuturo eh… hehe]. But seriously, personally I think your approach of teaching is near par excellence, especially your rare ability to freely mingle and associate with your students, and of course your conscious effort to make the course as enjoyable as possible. Pero kung pakiramdam nyo po there’s something lacking, perhaps you’ll find that out as you continue teaching this course… [but then, kelangan nga po magturo ulit kayo ng Psych101!] ;)

5. a) Ang mami-miss ko sa Psych101 ay: ____________
b) Ang hindi ko masyado mami-miss sa Psych 101 ay: ____________
c) Ang dapat ipagpatuloy sa Psych 101 ay: ___________

a) everything about Psych 101, but most especially the fact na sa dinami ng air-condition classrooms sa PHAn, yun pa yung napunta sa atin...
b) Psychology 7 by J.W. Santrock dahil babasahin ko rin naman siya over the summer… as visual sleeping pills [kidding!]
c) ang pagtuturo ni Sir Ton nito (“,)
