We have a german shepperd. And on my free time, I trained him but sometimes he
dont cooperate with me and just start to play around. I scolded him but it turns out,
he got angry.
Principle
Positive reinforcement- increases the probability that behavior will be repeated by
rewarding people for making the right response.
Application
If I will train him again, I should have seen his behavior on how he would act if its
either good or bad. If he is giving good behavior, then I will treat him as a reward. If
he gave a bad behavior, I will still scold him then treat him after.

As a college student sleep is something that I dont get enough of. Sleep is an
important part of life. One night I went to bed at midnight and the next night it was
10:45. For the entire week the times varied. The earliest I went to bed was 10:30
and the latest was 12:45. I do get up at the same time every morning because I
have class at 8am every day. The fact that I go to bed at different times each night
causes my body to respond differently to sleepiness during the day. Usually I would
take a nap the day after going to bed late at night. Or I would sleep through my
alarm and miss my 8 o clock class. Sleeping through class is definitely a bad result
of not enough sleep. Taking naps once in a while is OK but I took a nap 4 out of 5
days in a week. I can get other things done during that time if I wasnt so tired.
Principle
Behavior Modification- A way of changing behavior by rewarding the right responses
and punishing or ignoring the wrong responses.
Application
I am punishing on a continuous schedule. There is only one time each night that it is
possible to be punished. Every time I stay awake past 11:30 I have to set my alarm
a half-hour earlier. So I have to physically do that the second I stay awake longer
than I should be. If for some reason this doesnt work I will switch to a more severe
punishment. Luckily this was severe enough to motivate me to be in bed on time
that I didnt need to get any more sever. I was being motivated by two different
things. One was the fact I would have to get up early. The second was that I truly
wanted to have regular sleeping patterns. So the program was simple for me.

On our PE, we had a dance competition with the other section. Our prof told us 3
days before the competition and there were no such time to practice because PE
wasnt only our priority. As the time that we were practicing, we asked for advice on
what to do but he only said that we should get a uniform shirt and he didnt say
any other words. We also asked the other section, when was the time they were
informed by this competition and they said that it was a month ago.
Principle
Pygmalion effect- The idea that people live up to the expectations set for them.
Application
As a professor, he would have motivate and help us on our competition. When
teachers expect students to do well and show intellectual growth, they do; when
teachers do not have such expectations, performance and growth are not so
encouraged and may in fact be discouraged in a variety of ways. He should have
expect the best form us, understand our expectations and capabilities and help us
to set goals to believe we have above 50% chance of achieveing.
