The document summarizes a journal entry discussing a picture showing students having an outdoor tutorial session with their lecturer. The students appear bored because they believe tutorials should be held indoors based on past experiences, demonstrating self-fulfilling prophecies and representative heuristics biases. Having the tutorial outdoors challenges the students' perceptions of the norm and their ability to adapt to new settings.

- 3. The social setting shows a group of students having a tutorial session with their lecturer within the campus. Normally tutorials are carried out in classrooms but in this picture, it is located outside the classroom. Based on the picture, the social cognition can be interpreted in such that the students look bored as did not enjoy the tutorial as it was exposed to the sun. This can be related to self-fulfilling prophecies. The students believe that having a tutorial is rather bring even though the setting has changes. So no matter what, it will eventuallybe boring as what they think will become true. The students have a perception that tutorials heldin classrooms are a norm. So when they are brought to the outdoors, they could not adapt. This can be related to representative heuristics. The students are comparing this setting to an existingsetting which are already in their minds, the classroom. They think that the existingone is more professional and conducive for tutorials rather than the outdoors. Their judgements are affected by their existingthoughts.
