    The Learning Alliance for Higher Education, an educational consulting firm based at the University of Pennsylvania, was hired by City College in 2011 to investigate and make recommendations for improving undergraduate retention and graduation at the College. Even though most City College students receive financial assistance, have decent high school grades, and live at home with their parents – factors that should contribute to good graduation rates – in fact, currently only 7% of students admitted to the College graduate from it in four years. Only 36% graduate in six years. Indeed, roughly half of the students admitted drop out completely within two years. Students who transfer to City College from another school, either inside or outside the CUNY system (e.g., a CUNY community college), disappear even faster: Half leave the College, and half of those leave by their first year at the College.…

Motivation, the theory of emotion and the approach and avoidance concepts will be addressed in this paper, as well as how the humanistic approach can be applied as it relates to motivation.…

    In the first module we have explored the topics of perspectives, careers, and ethics in psychology. A perspective in psychology is the way in which psychologists choose to approach the study of human behavior. Such perspectives would be socio cultural, biological, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and humanistic. To go along with the lesson on perspectives we had to pick an outrageous celebrity and explain their behavior in reference to the different perspectives. For the assignment, I chose to do Britney Spears, and I explained how each perspective would describe her behaviors and cognitive thinking. In this module we further explored careers in psychology such as sports psychologists to clinical and counseling psychologists, and where psychologists could be employed. Psychologists have a code of ethics, there is 10 standards but yet in still broken down further, one of the most important is informed consent which the participants would read so that they know what they will be getting into. Since I am quite interested in psychology these concepts helped me figure out in what pathway I would like to go in (social psychologist). This learning has changed my behavior by making me see that there are many ways in seeing/describing human behavior. Therefore, before I judge I see things as a psychologist would- similar to Maslow’s interest in self-actualization.…
