Previewing the ideas that will be illustrated with scenes from the following four movies:

Purpose 3:
Getting started with the take-home final, which does not have to be done until 6 pm Friday, December 20th.

  1. Read the material on Ghostbusters and on Waggle Dancing Bees and take some notes.

    Write down at least one paragraph of your ideas/confusions/ questions/applications/connections (and/or) to bring to the group discussion. You will read this paragraph to the other members of your small group.

  2. Read the material from Coaching the Artist Within. Take some notes.

    1. Try to relate that material to the Peter Venkman quote about "studying the effects of negative reinforcement on ESP ability".

    2. Look up the word "attitude" in the dictionary. Write down the definition. Develop some insight or express some confusion or ask some question about how that definition relates to Ghostbusters, to Polya quote in ghost.txt, and/or to the Eric Maisel readings on Coaching the Artist Within and Getting a Grip on Your Mind.

    3. See page EEE of the EricMaisel2.pdf handout.

      Write down the simple three-step procedure:

      1. notice and identify;
      2. dispute the self-sabotaging; and
      3. substitute the useful).

      Come up with an example of this from your experience and observation or readings and imagination. Write it down (all 3 parts).

  3. Bring one sheet of paper filled up on at least one side with your paragraph(s) from 1 above and your tasks and output from 2 (i. and ii. and iii.).

    This is the ONLY thing that is required to be done by the final exam period. It is the basis for being prepared for GROUP DISCUSSION followed by CLASS DISCUSSION.
