Document Summary
28 short answer (t-f, single word, or a sentence or two) Never need to give a name or a date but they might be provided. Weighting : textbook more heavily and lectures. Evaluation = expectancy x value: e. g. , evaluation of a car. Prof. baldwin liked his car, previous was a cheap thing, got a good price on it (wasn"t cheap though) was fast, leather seats -> value things like power, driving fast. He could expect that when he pressed the gas, it would move forward and pass other cars. Broad model of how we evaluate things. bring what i value or block these things: expectancy/value correlation. We want to feel good about yourself. Might be true but ends up being kind of unsatisfying there"s something very circular and unsatisfying about it the answer would be something that reflects some motive that is relevant to us. Why does it upset you when you fail a midterm.
