Consider the following scenario and answer the questions that follow:

Mandy does all of her homework, yet she keeps missing points on her assignments. She tells her dad that it is unfair and that she turns in all of her assignments in on time.

What bias does Mandy have in telling her dad this story? What might be the professor's point of view if her story was heard? What facts may Mandy not be telling?

Mandy's bias is close-minded. She isn't telling her dad that she might be getting stuff wrong. The professor might tell her dad that she does turn it in on time but is still getting things wrong in her homework.

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.
