Today, my writing class, FCWR-101 met. The listening styles are mostly Action-oriented and Content-oriented. This class does digress sometimes, but it returns back on to the main subject. Today, more specifically, the class started in a different way. Usually, the class would start with the professor coming in, and the lecture would immediately begin. Instead, we started with watching a scene from Ocean's 11, pertaining to the assignment due.
As far as considering the attention diversions, there were not many. One would be that a student who forgot to put his phone on vibrate, went off, and he answered the phone in class. Another distraction was that there was a technical difficulty with the sound. There was sound playing; however, the sound was not loud enough for people who were sitting in the back row of the classroom. For internal distractions, the major one that I could notice was that I was still somewhat jumpy. I took the bus from home, transferred to another bus, and got to NYIT. However, the time I got here was about 11 o'clock, and the class started at 11:10 am. So, from the bus stop, I swiftly walked to Theobald Hall. Thankfully, I was able to get to the class on time and before the professor got to class.
I was able to respond to the diversions, pretty well. First by calming down, and taking a deep breath to calm myself down. I also was patient with the small difficulty with the volume of the sound. The distraction with regards to the student and his cell phone was not significant; the diversion resolved itself.
