Reaction Paper

There will be more than one video to choose from, and all videos will cover a topic or concept contained in the unit.  You are only required to watch one video to write about, however you are more than welcome to watch (and write about) more than one of the assigned videos for a given unit. The videos assigned for the reactions reports can be found within the Content section of the class, within the individual units.  They are located under the header ”reaction report video links”.  These videos are separate from those required for the video discussions. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any trouble locating or accessing one of the videos.Each reaction report must be at least a page long (you need at least 350 words in the body of the report), typed using size 12 Arial or Times New Roman font, double-spaced, and include your thoughts on the video.  The reaction reports are worth 15 points each. Suggestions as to what to focus on when watching the assigned video and when writing your report. These questions are a guide as to what to think about when composing your report and do not need to be answered individually within your report: 1. Was the material understandable? 2. Did the information from the video help you to better understand some of the concepts covered within the unit? 3. Are there ways you can relate the information to everyday life? 4. What are the implications of the information?  5. How did you feel about the topic – agree or disagree? 6. Do you have any critiques regarding the topic or information presented in the video?        7. Do you have any questions regarding the information presented in the video?Purpose of the reaction report assignments:We can all summarize information we read by now, but summarizing information doesn’t always help us in our careers or daily lives.  Instead, being able to process (for understanding) and apply information we learn is what helps us most in both in our careers and daily life.  This is the purpose of the reaction reports – to have you hone your skills in processing information for meaning/understanding and then applying the information not only to what is covered in class, but also to your lives or other areas of knowledge you have to create a bigger picture. https://www.ted.com/talks/robert_sapolsky_the_uniqueness_of_humans
