Day 5 - the reading
Due to the fact that I am a little sick I took the chance to start with the task for next week. I read the chapter of Comer and somehow the whole reading took me approx 3 hours. I was a little confused because I thought I could work faster. But I had to get used to the English and so it took more time than I expected. Fortunatly I understood the text pretty good and I did not have to look up any words in my dictionairy. I guess it was also an advantage that I had already read and heard about Carl Rogers and Sigmund Freud. The text itself was interesting and especially the chapter about the Sociocultural Model got my attention. I never thought about cultural barriers while working with people who have a mental disorder. Tomorrow I´m going to watch the screen lecture about "Models of Abnormity" and maybe the movie "Balance".

Hi Yasmin,
ReplyDeletewow! That is a very cool blog you constructed yourself here! Nice design, nice layout, obviously you really got yourself into something here in experiencing blogging :-)
I am happy that you like all this "online stuff". What you write sounds pretty much like myself when first encountering all these useful online tools. I can remember a lot of situations running just like "Wow, cool! That works! That is great! I want to do that right now!" during my own course where I learnt how to build up an online course. Sometimes I felt like a little kid finding a completely new toy. It just feels like that often today :-)
Great that you liked the Comer-chapter, but obviously I underestimated the time you may need to read the material. Please observe that. I hope that your reading gets faster with the experience, but if - and that is addressed to all of you students - any of my calculations are completely off, and reliably so, than I have to change my calculations.
I hope you will have fun with this course! But first of all now I hope that you feel well again as soon as possible!
Bye, Alex
