I think you should

And it should involve pretty outfits but that's just me

Ahaha

Thank you! That is why I picked this field is because I want to help people and this is... well a helping profession. It's a good fit for me!

I hope you can find some classes where you are and hopefully you'll find them helpful. I think they're good real world skills so it would be awesome if you got some benefit from them

This test was pretty basic questions like "What do cognitive behaviorists focus on?" a) thoughts and actions b) early childhood c) growth potential. "Why are open questions helpful?" "Does a good supervisor listen to feedback?" Like, you don't need to take the class to know the answers to those xD And then in class and on homework we discuss things like "Do you agree with the cognitive behavioral approach" or "Do you think its wrong for Jim to steal medicine that his wife needs to live" etc where there are no right/wrong answers.

It is a super good class. I took HUS 102 last semester and I think that's something EVERYONE should take. It's about learning personal responsibility, self-respect, time management, how to develop interpersonal relationships where you can rely on others and work together without being dependent on them, how to listen and communicate effectively, boundary setting, and all of that good stuff. We cover it in this class too but I think those are pretty valuable life skills no matter what you do for work

Well the point of HUS 101 is that we a) learn the basics of what it means to be a human service professional and b) do some inner reflection. That is literally the entire point of the class. And the two most important things to the human service profession is helping people and understanding that people and morality come before all else. Meaning if you work at an agency which has x rules, it is expected you bend them if it benefits one of your clients. This isn't an impossible test to pass, its mostly common sense, and so practicing our moral code is important. The morality here being "Look, we let you do them online, we trust you to have done your homework and paid attention in class."

The second aspect, inner reflection, also plays a large role. Most of our homework is "what do you think of x moral dilemma" or "how was your childhood" because understanding ourselves is key to understanding and helping others. So most of our classes aren't sitting and listening to facts, but rather moral debates and discussions and self-reflection. This is also presented on the test. So it really isn't a regurgitation of facts at all and is actually crucial that we understand and THINK about these things if we want to become good human service professionals. So its almost like cheating on an aptitude test. You'll get results but they won't be helpful to you.

I don't know how much sense I'm making but uh yeah. It isn't a pure fact field, but rather a field centered on learning who we are, why we are that way, and how we can take that and apply it to everyday moral dilemmas. Because when you have a client come in, people are not math formulas or historical dates, they're complex organisms with a million different experiences that shaped who they are and how they got there, and you need to learn a lot about context and ethics and all of that

I do. It's kind of immoral to do it on your own, but to disturb the rest of the computer lab with it is elevating it to another level. Plus that puts people like me in an awkward position if I'm ever asked about this type of behaviour should they be found out. The tests are not made to be open book, that's why we have 30 seconds per question. plus they're very easy and accessible if you read your chapters and paid attention in class.

No, it's open for a week and I did mine the day it opened, last Tuesday

It is indeed

I'm at the computer lab and for two of my classes we have online tests. Two classmates are talking very loudly and blatantly cheating on the test

It's good for killing time when bored. I can't just stare at my textbooks, I need to look at something different in between sections to give my brain a rest and process everything, so tvtropes is pretty good for that! Plus I am here for another 8 hours with 80 minutes of that being class time

Only one class today so I am doing homework and reading tvtropes. It's my birthday soon so I am excite
