On some days, when I feel like I&#8217;m dragging my feet in the morning, I will have an energy drink right when I get to work. On these days I tend to fall asleep between 11:30 and midnight. On occasions, especially after a big lunch, I will feel tired in the afternoon and grab a second energy drink. On these days where I&#8217;ve had two energy drinks I&#8217;m asleep by 1 AM. On the days that I do not have an energy drink at all, I actually go to bed between 10:30 or 11:00. Therefore, from what I&#8217;ve experienced, the more energy drinks I have in a day the longer I will stay up during the night and, potentially, make myself feel more tired the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Lee post on conflict style<\/p>\n<p>According to the chapter exercise \u201cAssessing Your Conflict Style,\u201d my preferred conflict styles are Integrating, or Collaborating, for my personal relationship and compromising for my professional relationship. The integrating conflict style means that both parties are very concerned for their interests, the interests of the other party, the resolution of the conflict, and the status of the relationship afterwards (Wilmot &amp; Hocker, 2013). Since my personal relationship is based on the premise that my wife and I are equal partners in our journey through life, an integrating conflict style seems the most beneficial to achieving the \u2018for life\u2019 promise. The chapter text has a great quote to describe the advantages of using integrating style in a relationship. \u201cA collaborative conflict does not conclude until both parties are reasonably satisfied and can jointly support a solution. Relationships are better, not worse, than when the conflict began.\u201d (Wilmot &amp; Hocker, 2013, p. 165). Two disadvantages to integrating is that manipulative people can use the style to benefit themselves while taking away from the other party and if one party isn\u2019t as invested in the relationship, the process is a waste of time and energy (Wilmot &amp; Hocker, 2013).<\/p>\n<p>Michael post on conflict style<\/p>\n<p>I think my style really depends on who I am talking with.\u00a0\u00a0For me, I try to avoid conflict because in my younger days I never really tried to avoid it.\u00a0\u00a0Age has bought wisdom.\u00a0\u00a0However, sometimes important and uncomfortable issues come up and I still put if off as long as I can.\u00a0\u00a0This is especially true in relationships I have had.\u00a0\u00a0With my son, I am more of a compromising type of person.\u00a0\u00a0I am trying to stop deciding for him and reason with him to the best solution.\u00a0\u00a0Sometimes I\u2019m too lenient but the lessons I am teaching are life lessons.\u00a0\u00a0So for this stage in my life I do think I am more of an Avoider.\u00a0\u00a0For me, the advantages of avoiding conflict is it gives me time to consider the conflict and my responses and sometimes it helps keep me from hurting someone\u2019s feelings.\u00a0The disadvantages are that when I avoid, one might feel as if I did not care.\u00a0\u00a0It also keeps the conflict fresh instead of allowing it to be resolved.\u00a0It hinders the person that is ready to solve it because they have to wait for me.\u00a0\u00a0It causes build up which will turn into an explosion over many subjects if it continues (Wilmont &amp; Hocker, 2013,\u00a0p. 152).\u00a0I think understanding your tendencies for conflict can help you make wiser choices when the conflict turns super serious.\u00a0\u00a0If you understand your style, maybe you can explain to your conflict partner where you\u2019re coming from better.<\/p>\n<p>Crystal post on assessment<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I like to do non-standardized assessment of performance and portfolio on a child. \u201cthese evaluation measures use strategies that permit the child to demonstrate his or her understanding of a concept or mastery of a skill.

Another one standardized testing would be comparison, this can let educators compare results of exams from other schools. Disadvantages are some of the questions are ridiculous, some of the questions that are on the test are not what a student would think that is on the test and it will make them unconfutable when answering. There are different others that can make a student scared when taking a standardized test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The great correlation here.\u00a0 Definitely, the more time you spend on reading the better understanding which results in higher scores.
