Week 9, Question 1
The most recent situation that I was in where I found it hard to listen actually occurred today during my child development class. I am taking Chad106 to satisfy one of the areas for my upper devision general, but I'm also taking it because I love kids and I thought this class would be really interesting. Unfortunately this class has turned out to be very boring. Every time I am in class I find it very hard to listen to what the teacher is saying. Part of the reason for this is that her voice tends to be monotone sometimes and that makes it very had to pay attention. The phase that presented the most difficulty for me was the hearing the message phase. I guess you could say I was experience selective attention. I would listen to parts of the lecture, and then i would find myself daydreaming. I think this problem can be overcome if I focus more on the material and not let my mind wander.

Hi Commgirl,
ReplyDeleteI totally can relate to your example. I have had many classe that have turned out to be boring and not very interactive. When a class is longer, I find it really hard to keep my attention on the professor, and I tend to not listen to everything they say. This can be an issue, because I could have easily missed important information. I think for me, if a class is more interactive, then the professors will be able to hold their students attention and will know everyone is listening. Great post!
