PSY 181 Week 2 Discussion

PSY 181 Week 2 Discussion: Discussion Board 2

Initial post:

In Module 23, consciousness was defined to you as “your sensations and perceptions of external events as well as your self-awareness of mental events, including thoughts, memories, and feelings about your experiences and yourself” (Morin, 2006; Robinson, 2008). Later in Module 26, consciousness was connected to the term metacognition and its three elements: knowledge, monitoring and control.

Use your experience as a student, working professional, or daily interactions to address the following questions:

• Identify any current habits that may be holding you back from success. This could be academic success, accomplishing short term goals, or an advancement in your workplace.
• What are some things you could to do to overcome the habit that is holding you back?
• Following your reading, how can metacognitive skills help you in your personal and professional life?

*Remember to use in-text, and full reference citations in APA format for all content that you bring in from the readings. Your textbook should be your PRIMARY source of information, not an internet search. Feel free to express personal feelings/views/opinions, but also remember to use an academic voice when writing your post and responses. *

Discussion Content

Discussions play an integral role in monitoring your course participation throughout the term. You should check back to the weekly discussions multiple times throughout the week to engage in the discussion with your professor and peers. Participation is only counted during the week in which this discussion is assigned. Be sure to appropriately cite any sources you use to support your responses with standard APA citations. Answer the prompt question(s) thoroughly, using at least 150-200 words, and respond to as many of your peers as possible. Note that responses to 2 of your peers are required for full credit. Be sure to answer any additional questions asked by your professor in the discussion threads. Your initial post is due by Day 3 of the current week, and follow up posts to your peers are due on Day 7!
