Lecture on Listening

FOUR STEP LISTENING PROCESS
1. Sensing- sight, sound
2. Attending- choosing what to pay attention to
3. Understanding- making sense of what you chose to pay attention to
4. Remembering- retaining the information

PROBLEMS
1. Sensing
-As you get older your hearing and sight gets worse
2. Attending
-We only attend to a fraction of the info coming in from our senses
-We fake paying attention
-We listen to what relates to us
-We have a hard time paying attention to a nonenthusiastic speaker
3. Understanding
-When we disagree/can't see where the speaker is coming from its hard to understand them
-Having no background knowledge of the subject
-Unknown vocab, or having a different meaning for the word than the speaker
-Tune out speaker because of personal beliefs
4. Remembering
-We losse info very quickly

TIPS FOR GOOD LISTENING
1. Sensing
-Sit in a good spot in the room so that you can hear and see well
2. Attendence
-Good night sleep and eat good, so you will have the energy to pay attention
-Try to relate the subject to you
-Give facial feedback, in making yourself give feedback you will also have to pay attention
-Give them a chance, a bit of your time
3. Understanding
-Try to predict where the speaker is going and then compare your prediction to the speech results
-Give facial feedback to tell the speaker if you are or aren't understanding what they are saying


ill get the rest to everyone later
hope it helps

Lifeguarding Books

Hey everyone who is in lifeguarding and Water Safty Instructor.
WE NEED BOOKS!!!
So....
I havn't heard anything new from Carol, so it isn't looking like we are going to be getting our books any time soon.
So my plan is to try this weekend to go to the Red Cross and get my books and then bring a reciept to Carol.
Then she can at least see what books we are talking about and how much exactly they are.
The only problem is this leaves the rest of you guys without books.....
And I'm the only one who lives in Eureka....
So.... any suggestions?

See all of you tomorrow!

The Difference between Atomic Number and Atomic Mass:
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus, whereas the atomic mass is the average mass of the element.

The Uncertainty Principle:
The theory that it is impossible to know precisely the location and velocity of electrons at the same time.
You cannot measure the object without changing it in the process.

The Quantum Theory:
The theory that explains matter and energy at atomic and sub-atomic levels, sometimes called Quantum Mechanics.

The Strong Nuclear Force holds a nucleus together.
The Intra-molecular Force holds individual atoms together to make molecules.
The Inter-molecular Force holds individual molecules together to make substances.
