User:MandaG/Turorial 1 Week 2

The first tutorial was not bad as far as first tuorials go. I found the icebreakers to be a lot of fun particularly given some of the poor ones that are out there. I appreciated that instead of saying a verb that starts with the same letter of our name (Oh yes those in my psych 101 tute last year know what tht was like!) we got to learn things about others and were at times a little out of our comfort zone. Getting into groups on eye colour or number of sibblings seemed simple enough, it started to get interesting when we had to group according to religion and politics, as far as I knew they were public taboo topics! My particular tute though was very open about ourselves and we all had a bit of a giggle. The one that I found most interesting was when asked to line up according to whether we believed actions to be largely a result of situational cicumstances or a result of the individual. I found myself standing alone at the individual end while the others were largely fencesitters with a few strongly on the situational end. I have yet to think of a good reason as to why that may be... .
