4/30 class record (OMG it's the end of April already!)

Today I went into a small panic when I found out that the Google Docs keep records of our revision history, being the procrastinator I am (hope to change that to was). Hopefully, I'll get out of the habit of finishing things at the last minute with this device in mind!

Peer editing was a bit hard to do, especially since our group had five people. Unfortunately I couldn't comment equally on each person's essay but I appreciated the editing and feedback that I received from my friends. I'd gotten so used to reading my essay the way it was and thus needed a fresh perspectives to point out some parts that sounded a bit confusing. Thanks guys :)

Thank you, Rab for your comment and Fumika and Izumi for explaining the expression to me! I feel a bit embarrassed that I didn't know about this expression :/ And I agree with Yuji, maybe I was being a bit narrowminded towards Nisbett's ideas... :O (Oh by the way, please don't jump off a cliff, if you're reading this haha.) It's so hard to stay objective, especially when one's own culture is being described and when we have these unconscious biases inplanted in our minds (like the surgeon/son quiz). I'll try to be more openminded with chapter 4!

Have a great Golden Week!
:D
