  • Prior to beginning watch The Elevator Pitch Links to an external site.video abou

    Prior to beginning watch The Elevator Pitch Links to an external site.video about creating an elevator speech, and watch the following examples:
    Next, design your own one-minute sales pitch tailored toward your chosen career path. It is recommended that you also review the 30 Second Elevator Pitch and Professional Summaries Links to an external site.online resource. Consider the person in your field whom you would most like the opportunity to speak with, and keep this person in mind throughout the process.
    In your pitch, specifically
    Choose a person that you want to meet in an elevator to give them your pitch for being a qualified future candidate for their organization.
    Discuss your areas of expertise in the area of psychology (thus far) and how they could be applied to benefit the organization or industry in your future career.
    Record your 30-second to one-minute video speech utilizing the Canvas recording tool, or using any recording software of your choice. Be sure to consider how you would want to be perceived visually by the person as well. Introduce yourself, demonstrate your value to the organization, and end with a request for your listener.
    It is recommended that you create a scriipt or, at minimum, a list of talking points prior to creating your recording. For an explanation of steps to follow when creating an elevator speech, read the PSY620: Preparing Your Elevator Speech Download PSY620: Preparing Your Elevator Speechdocument.
    Tips:
    If you do not have a recording device, it is possible to plug your ear buds into the microphone slot to create the voiceover. (It just will not be quite as clear so make sure to speak clearly and a bit more loudly.)
    You can also use the recorder on many phones and send the audio to yourself by email.
    If using Zoom, upload to YouTube or Screencast-o-matic to share a link. (You can even edit in Screencast-o-matic if you need to.)
    Once you have completed your recording, share your pitch with the class by copying and pasting the link for your recording into your discussion post by Day 5, unless you utilized the Canvas recording tool which does not require this step. Include in your written summary the name of the person you chose to give your speech to as well as a 50- to 150-word descriiption of the individual’s background, industry, area of expertise, and your rationale for choosing this person.
    Guided Response: Review and listen to several of your colleague’s posts/elevator speeches, and respond to at least two of your peers on Day 7 of the week.
    In your responses, provide a substantive critique with a minimum of 100 words of your colleague’s presentation by addressing the following:
    Did he or she present themselves well?
    Did he or she seem qualified?
    Was it clear what he or she has to offer the organization/industry?
    Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.
    Note to Students: This assignment requires that you produce a visual presentation, supply a spoken audio narrative, and to listen to the audio narrative of others. If you have a documented disability accommodation that might interfere with your ability to complete this assignment, you may contact your instructor to develop a comparable alternative assignment.

  • Social psychology includes the study of attitudes, persuasion, self-understandin

    Social psychology includes the study of attitudes, persuasion, self-understanding, and people’s everyday behaviors in their relationships with others. In addition, social psychologists study social behavior and how people influence one another. A stereotype is a belief or expectation about a group of people. Prejudice is an unfavorable attitude toward a group of people. It is usually associated with discrimination, which is the unequal treatment of diverse groups.
    Decades ago, Americans admitted their prejudices openly. Today, most people believe in fair treatment for everyone, or so they say. However, are people as unprejudiced as they claim to be? Researchers have sought ways to measure subtle prejudices people do not want to admit. A popular method is the implicit association test (IAT), which measures reactions to combinations of categories.
    Watch Social Psychology: Stereotypes, Prejudice, & Discrimination: Defining Terms.
    Click Here and Take the IAT.
    Then, reflect on your lived experiences and answer any three (3) of the questions below:
    When have you been stereotyped?
    What are the narratives surrounding your stereotyping experiences?
    How did they make you feel?
    How did you know you were being stereotyped?
    How is the stereotype perpetuated?
    Do you know others who have had to deal with a similar stereotype?
    Do you know of any films, commercials, or books that reinforce this stereotype?
    What can you do to manage these situations?
    How do you want people to perceive you?
    What can you do to change people’s perceptions?

  • Research indicates that there is a ‘window of opportunity’ for learning a seco

    Research indicates that there is a ‘window of opportunity’ for learning a second language. That is, the capacity to distinguish and make sounds (phonemes) diminishes with age. Older children and adults can still learn a second language, but it tends to take longer. Also those who learn at a later age are less likely to speak like a native (i.e., without an accent; Golinkoff & Hirsch-Pasek, 2000).
    Some people worry that starting kids on a second language will interfere with their ability to learn English language skills, however the opposite appears to be true. There is recent research about the dual language approach to learning language being effective, as well as immersion (King & Mackey, 2007).
    What evidence is there for how learning a second language learning can benefit children’s development (cognitive, social, academic, etc)?
    Responding to this question “counts” as a discussion response.
