The Case of ...
Keeping Your Mouth Shut
Jorge Azar had immigrated with his parents to the United States from
the Dominican Republic when he was 11 years old. Although Jorge had
become fluent in English, he still spoke with an accent. Jorge had never

felt self-conscious about it before. He'd lived most of his life in America
in New York City, surrounded by dozens of different accents.
Now, though, Jorge had relocated with his wife out of New York. He'd
enrolled in college to earn his degree in software engineering, and he
was sitting in a classroom in which he was the only Hispanic. Jorge
suddenly felt nervous to open his mouth. He was sure that no matter
what he said, his fellow classmates would disregard it because of his
accent. Despite graduating from high school in the top of his class, Jorge
was struck dumb at the idea of answering the questions his instructors
asked.
One day, Jorge couldn't avoid the problem anymore. In one of his
programming classes, his instructor called on him by name to explain a
technical term. Jorge knew what the term meant and how to explain it ...
but he was afraid that as soon as he spoke, he'd be laughed at. As the
moments ticked by and the class waited for Jorge's response, he started
to wonder why he'd enrolled in college in the first place.
1. Can you identify with Jorge's situation? Are there aspects of yourself
that you feel self-conscious about?
2. What assumptions does Jorge fear his classmates will make?
3. What assumptions about his classmates is Jorge making?
4. What advice would you give Jorge to help him feel more comfortable,
not just speaking in class, but in college in general?
5. Have you ever judged someone based not on what they say, but how
they say it? What did you learn from this incident, and how could you
avoid it in the future?

P.O.W.E.R. Learning, Ch. 1: Becoming an Expert Student
ThIt was during the second week of classes that the questioning started.
Until then, Jesse had been fairly confident in his decision to enroll at a
college in the Denver suburbs to gain training to be a medical technician.
He had been excited to try something new and to start a new career, but
more and more he was wondering if he'd made the right choice.
To get to campus, Jesse had to take a forty-five-minute bus ride, because
his wife needed the car to get to her office in downtown Denver. Jesse
was also keeping his part-time job as an executive assistant at a doctor's
office, a job that meant another long commute. And on top of that, Jesse
needed to find time among work, classes, and studying to help care for
his five-year-old son.
Maybe, Jesse was beginning to think, college hadn't been such a good
idea. True, he could earn more money as a medical technician and begin
a more promising career. But was it really worth all this added time and
stress? Plus, Jesse had never done very well academically. Why would
college be any different? If he wanted to make more money, he could
just add more shifts at his current job.
Why bother with college? Jesse thought to himself. What an expense,
and what a hassle. For what?e Case of

3. What might you suggest that Jesse do to help deal with his doubts
about the value of college?
4. Why might a student's doubts about the value of college be
especially strong during the beginning weeks of college?
5. Do you share any of Jesse's concerns about the value of a college
education? Do you have additional ones?
P.O.W.E.R. Learning, Ch. 8: Making Decisions and Problem Solving
The Case of
Erica had a problem.
She and her friend Karen had found a two-bedroom apartment to share
for the upcoming year. The apartment was on the expensive side, but
they had decided that it was worth it because it was in a great location.
She and Karen had jointly paid the security deposit on the apartment.
However, because Karen hadn't been around when it came time to sign
the lease, only Erica had signed it. Consequently, Erica was legally
responsible for fulfilling the terms of the lease.
Now, only two weeks before they were scheduled to move in, Karen told
Erica that she had realized she couldn't afford the rent and that she had
decided she had to live with her parents. Erica was simultaneously
furious with Karen and panicky at the thought of having to pay the rent
by herself.
How was she going to deal with the problem?
Review the following questions answer in 150 word for each questions.
This doesn’t have to be in APA format
1. Is the problem a purely financial and legal one, or are there
personal and social considerations that should be taken into account in
solving the problem?

2. Is the problem solely Erica's problem, or should Karen take
responsibility for solving it as well?
3. What alternatives does Erica have for dealing with the situation?
4. How should Erica go about evaluating the outcomes for each
alternative?

give Erica for dealing with the situation?

P.O.W.E.R. Learning, Ch. 3: Taking Notes
The Case of ...Not Missing a Thing
Some people write down a few things in class. Others write down most
things. Jennifer Beck wrote down everything.
The woman was virtually a human dictation machine. She spent her time
in class in a whirlwind of notetaking, writing down in a clear,
meticulous script seemingly every word her instructor uttered. By the
end of a term, her notebooks were so lengthy that they approached the
size of telephone books from a small city.
Yet despite her thorough notes, Jennifer was only a mediocre student.
She was a hard worker and studied her many notes thoroughly before
tests. But she never managed to get grades higher than a C+. It seemed

unbelievable to her. She worked incredibly hard in class taking good
notes. Why wasn't it paying off?
1. How do you think Jennifer defines "good notetaking"?
2.
3. Why does Jennifer's method of notetaking produce such poor results?
What is she missing?
4.
5. If you asked Jennifer to summarize the instructor's main ideas after a
class lecture, how successful do you think she would be? Why?
6.
7. Do you think it would be easy or hard to study for a final exam using
Jennifer's notes? Why?
8.
9. Do you think Jennifer evaluates her notes during or after class? Do
you think she ever rethinks them? What questions would you ask to help
her perform these steps?
10.
11. In general, what advice would you give Jennifer on notetaking?

P.O.W.E.R. Learning, Ch. 6: Careers
The Case of ...Interviewophobia
Dale had found his dream job.

A few weeks before finishing college to get his degree in fitness
training, Dale found an online job posting for an entry-level training job
with the professional basketball team that played in his area. Dale had
long been a fan of the team. The salary and benefits were excellent. The
facility where the team trained was only ten minutes from Dale's house.
In short, the job was perfect, and Dale was thrilled when, a week after
submitting his résumé, he received a call about scheduling an interview.
But then Dale started to get nervous. He had failed miserably at the only
job interview he had ever had, for a sales position at a retail company
after he finished high school. He'd actually gotten into an argument with
his interviewer. What if the interview for the fitness trainer position
went just as poorly?
Other worries started creeping into Dale's mind. What if the interviewer
asked questions about Dale's limited training experience? What if Dale
forgot to mention the key experiences on his résumé? What if he wore
the wrong clothes?
As the interview approached, Dale went from excited to terrified. He
was certain he would blow the interview. So much for my dream job, he
thought.
1. What advice would you give Dale? How is this interview different
from the one he experienced just after finishing high school?
2.
3. What steps could Dale take to ready himself for the interview? How
could he build his confidence?
4.
5. What could Dale do to prepare for questions about his work
experience?
6.

7. What tactics could Dale employ to make sure the interview remains
cordial, and to get on his interviewer's good side?

P.O.W.E.R. Learning, Ch. 7: Technology and Information Competency
The Case of …
It had already been a long day for Joelle.
She'd worked two hours of overtime at her job supervising a call center.
She'd driven home and immediately sat down at her computer to start
work on her paper for her marketing class the next day. It was already
11:00 p.m. by the time she finished her research on the web. Then she
began writing, opening a new file in her word processing program.
Joelle worked hard, drinking coffee to help her concentrate on the
paper—and to keep her eyes open. When she was about three-quarters of
the way done, her computer screen suddenly froze. Joelle pushed every
button she could think of, but finally had to switch her computer off and
then switch it back on. She opened the file for her paper … and saw an
empty page.

To her horror, Joelle realized that her paper had been lost. She looked at
the clock—it was almost 3:00 a.m. Did she really need to start her paper
all over again?
Review the following questions then in 150 word for each question
answer the following.
This doesn’t have to be in a APA format
1. How well did Joelle use her time to work on her paper? What advice
would you give her about the preparation stage of working on a paper?
2. Clearly, Joelle should have saved her work frequently while she was
working. What else should she have done while working on her paper to
help her recover from such a catastrophe?
3. Do you think Joelle's instructor would be sensitive to her problem?
Do you think he or she would be willing to give her an extension? What
could Joelle do to make her case that she had nearly finished the paper?
4. What should Joelle do next to begin reconstructing her paper and
recovering as much of her work as possible?

PSY 110 Week 4 Working in Diverse Groups
www.psy110rank.com
Working in Diverse Groups
This week is about working in diverse groups and developing cultural
competence that can help you in many scenarios.
Imagine now that you have found a job opening that is looking for
someone to join its diverse team. To narrow down candidates for the job,
the description says candidates should be prepared to explain in a brief
presentation their knowledge of how they work with others.
Read Ch. 9: Diversity and Relationships to review strategies that will
help prepare you for this assignment.
Hint: The Connect Activities in the recommended section of this week
can also help you to learn more.
Working in Diverse Groups
Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that
allows you to showcase your knowledge about working in diverse
groups to a potential employer.
Make sure to read the information in Chapter 9 of P.O.W.E.R. Learning
and Your Life. (Hint: The Connect Activities in the recommended
section of this week can also help you to learn more.)
A further review of Chapter 1 and Chapter 8 will help you to recall what
you discovered about your learning style and how to solve problems.
Here is a guideline for developing your presentation:

1. The first slide should be a title slide for the presentation.
2. An introduction slide should come after the title slide. This slide
should allow you to introduce the topics you will be discussing.
3. For the next two to three slides, discuss what topics from Weeks 1
through 3 that might help you when working in diverse groups. For
example, you could talk about learning styles, and how that might
impact your work in a group or work assignment versus in an individual
assignment. (Tip: Think about information that was covered in Week 2
when covering this portion.)
4. For your next two to three slides, explain how developing cultural
competence can be useful to you when working with others in school?
How can it be advantageous in the workplace? What two or three
strategies can you use to become more culturally competent? (Tip: Refer
to the section, "Developing Cultural Competence" in Chapter 9.)
5. For your next two to three slides, explain what your course text says
about diversity, and how that plays a role in building relationships? (Tip:
Refer to the section, "Building Lasting Relationships in Chapter 9.)
6. After the body of the presentation, you will need to develop a
conclusion slide. This should wrap up yourpresentation, so that your
audience (a potential interviewer in this case) will be reminded of your
key points.
Note: For help withPowerPoint®", refer to "How to Create a
PowerPoint®" located in Materials for this assignment (on the right side
of the classroom in the assignment view).
In the meantime, here are some tips:
• Organize the slides with bullet points and use the notes sections
for comments that should accompany/explain each slide.

• Keep in mind that when you are putting together a presentation,
your slides should follow the 6:6 rule - there should be no more than 6
bullet points per slide, with about 6 word per bullet point. That means
that the majority of the information in your slideshow will be in the
notes section.
• It is important to remember that the slideshow is clear and
logically organized; whether the notes section is used effectively;
incorporates effective design elements (font headings, spacing, color);
whether the slideshow is functional (including working audio clips,
visual components and links) and whether grammar, usage, spelling and
punctuation follow standard American English.
