Document Summary
Notebook assignments have been collected and marked. If you emailed it in, you got a point. Notebook assignment #1 used the concept of personality. When we were told to complete the notebook assignment, nobody jumped up and asked what is personality? . But, we know that in class, half the battle is getting to know concepts. So, notebook assignment #2 will be to define personality . Theorists have different implicit definitions of personality. The idea is that you are essentially putting on a mask. So the implicit definition here for personality is that when you got to know the other 2 people, your roommates, friends, neighbors, etc. , what you are recognizing is what mask they are wearing. In this way, our personalities can change all the time. The way that you are with your professor is one mask, and the way you are with your friends is a totally different masks.
