Create, Relate, Explore

When studying a subject such as this one, educational psychology, there is so much information that must learned and understood. This subject in particular has such important real-world application, and I was so afraid to miss something. 
While the CERs could honestly, at times, become a bit tedious, I truly took so much away from each chapter after completing them. 

The assignments were direct, and it was easy to see the reasoning behind each assignment. 

Each CER pulled out the most important pieces of the chapter, and made us truly think about these topics, theories, methods, and issues. Furthermore, we had to conduct research outside of the text. This allowed us the opportunity to explore educational psychology in the real-world, 

Overall, I know that the CERs were a HUGE help to me.

Create, Evaluate, Relate 

The assignment: Create, Evaluate, Relate. 

The CERs were a set of tasks at the end of each chapter that were designed as a check for understanding activity, as well as a way for us to understand the relevance of everything in our textbook. These projects allowed me to take all of the information from the chapter and pick out the most important aspects. The CERs helped me gain a better understanding of each chapter, and showed me how each subject relates to teaching. While completing each CER, I often thought "that makes sense!" or "I definitely see this in my classroom." I particularly liked the CERs in which the tasks were self-reflections. There was one about my learning style, and another about how I am influenced by social media. 

Each sub-tab contains one CER assignment. There is one for each chapter of the book.
