What are some examples of ways in which observational learning has benefited you in your life? Are there instances in which observational learning has worked to your disadvantage?

I have helped teach Warriors Leader Course to lower enlisted soldier’s observation learning has been beneficial to me because I never taught in front of a class and no teaching skills. I usually just answer questions or be a helper. Sometimes our NCO’s can’t make it to class so it falls upon use to teach. I can handle classes now without help, but cannot teach every day. This is a disadvantage because my mental drive is not toward teaching every day.

I have been in a seat of a jury. I would review what I have before making a decision as far as evidence. Also eye witnesses cant always be counted on and is not always correct to put a innocent person away.

During problem solving, do you use primarily algorithms or heuristics? What are the advantages of each?

It actually depends on the problem. If it’s a math problem, I primarily use algorithms. I would use heuristics when I already know the answer.

The advantages of each are: Algorithms are a series of steps to get to the solution.

Heuristics is used so the individual can get to a solution rapidly.
