- On this page, there are links to various goals and outcomes that are aligned with this course. After you watch the DVD, review the lists and pull out 3-5 that you think the movie touched on. Explain how you think the movie represented that attribute. (If you open the skills and attitudes in a separate window, you can easily copy and paste the phrases you select)
- Choose one of the attributes you listed and give an example of how you have represented that attribute in your academic or personal life.
For those of you who are interested, here’s an interview with Temple Grandin
- The Creative Process — Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work.
- Made a device to calm herself down
- Saw what they did to calm down cattle
- Made a gate opener
- Made the room with optical illusions (different perspectives)
- From a video, she saw 2 people in the same room being 2 completely different sizes
- She then created the same thing by figuring it out on her own.
- Developed a drip vat system for cattle
- Made a device to calm herself down
- Demonstrate attitudes in line with the democratic aspirations of equality, liberty, and justice, and democratic practices of social responsibility and inclusion of diverse perspectives in civic processes and community life.
- Saw Don’s stockyard process with cattle
- One cattle drowned in a part of it
- Cattle get spooked and act differently when people approached them
- Costs a lot of money — they get bruised, scraped, drowned, and it takes a good half hour to calm a herd
- Not a good way to run a stockyard
- “What’s good for cattle is good for business”

- Did an experiment on other people to see how her self-calming device makes them feel and if it “works.”
- Did research for her Masters on “Mooing”
- Published multiple articles
- Becomes an unlikely hero to America’s cattle industry
- Provide the opportunity to share the results of the project
- Did an experiment on other people to see how her self-calming device makes them feel and if it “works.”
- Found that it does help calm people
- Did research for her Masters on “Mooing”
- Developed the drip vat system that is now used today
- Published multiple articles
- Did an experiment on other people to see how her self-calming device makes them feel and if it “works.”
- The attribute I choose is ‘Provide the opportunity to share the results of the project’. An example of how I have represented this attribute in my academic life is completing multiple projects or research papers. When doing a big project or research paper, I always had to share my work (results) with my class and teacher via a presentation or research paper. This also correlates to ‘Communication of Ideas and Context’ as I had to effectively communicate my findings to others.
