Learning Challenge: Time

Image
I chose to do my last learning challenge over time due to that being something I had struggled with through the duration of this class. As of here recently I did not have a schedule to do the class assignments. This was definitely a product of having too much on my plate at once and putting this class on the back burner to do everything else for other classes. I started off with doing the core assignments however during the week as events and other assignments were due I found myself having to make up all points at once. This was due to having a lack of energy after getting home from work or just a long day of classes. In result of all my faults with time management of this class I am not able to finish with the grade I wanted which is very disappointing. If I could go back in time there definitely would be moments I would have made myself push through and got all the work done as needed and stuck with a schedule. Time Management

Learning Challenge: What Would Happen If You Didn't Sleep?

Dog & Cat Deliberate Attention Meme One thing the video confirmed that I already knew before was how important sleep is and how much someone my age should be getting. (7-8hrs) One thing I learned was the condition of Fatal Familial Insomnia. This is a condition where your body won't let you fall asleep, which could long term lead to dementia or death. After watching the video, I want to try to get the recommended amount of sleep per night that I should. I am curious to see how it will effect my attention, learning experiences, and health. I will begin to plan out what time I need to go to bed by and actually act upon it.

Learning Challenge...Future of Storytelling

Furr Baby Eyes by BloomerBlue The video confirmed for me that our brain produces those chemicals, oxytocin and cortisol, in response to how our surroundings make us feel.  The one new thing I learned is that you can judge, at least with 80% accuracy, which people are willing to give donations based on the levels of cortisol and oxytocin in the blood.  I'm curious to see how the people around me would react to being shown this video. I would play it to them and before the narrator goes into talking about the details, I would stop the video and ask how much would they donate (after being given some money for watching the video).
