My name is Will Schoener, and I am a sophomore, Industrial Engineering major. Also, I am on the cross country and track teams at E-town. For this class, I’m ready to study certain principles about how the brain and our bodies function.

I chose this class because it is part of the specific kind of engineering at the college. I currently have no background of any kind in psychology. When I here “psychology”, I think of brain functionality and how people behave.

 Three topics that I find most interesting would be “Why do we Forget,” “Personality Theory,” and “Theories of Intelligence”. Personally, these three topics are relatable to me. Based on the title, it would be interesting to learn why I might forget certain ideas. Everyone has different personalities and the topic seems to be based on how people acquire certain personalities. Intelligence is very important, and I would like to learn more about it. My three least interesting topics are “Observational Learning,” “How to get Good Sleep,” and “Coping with Stress”. All three of these just seem to be topics where I have knowledge of already through other kinds of classes.

I would like to answer – What makes people react the way they do to stress/ other stimuli? 6
