@HannaHopkins11 I definitely agree that it can be tough, however I think the ethical decision is to represent all groups, especially more oppressed ones! #mavDM

I know this may sound redundant, but I find it so interesting that we all experience hindsight bias, but we don't even know that it is happening! I say "I knew this was going to happen" so often, when in reality, I am not psychic, lol. #mavDM

A great read about hindsight bias concerning mutual funds and investing. Touches on some concepts we covered in class and expands. Very interesting. #mavDM

@HannaHopkins11 Very cool article! I love the idea of tying real world pop culture things like this into our class work.

I have always been very proud of my interview skills, but it is often very hard to tell whether or not I actually impressed the interviewer! Job interviews are definitely one of the most stressful parts of a job hunt #mavDM

A great read about whether or not there is a link between interview performance and job performance. A question that I have always wondered about, and the answer may surprise you! #mavDM

@crossell3 This is a great outlook! I always try to tell the people I care about that I appreciate them because you never know when life will get in the way! #mavDM

I was affected by the optimism bias recently and I did not know that was what it was! I had a dentist appointment, but opted not to go because I was really tired and I thought my teeth could wait. A couple days later, I broke a tooth while eating bread that was too hard. #mavDM

This is a great article to further explore the optimism bias and expand on what we read in this weeks lesson. The optimism bias affects decisions I make a lot, people always tell me I am too positive. #mavdm

@Lee__Rogers Super cool way of relating the material we are learning in class to something that hits pretty close to home for a lot of people. Nice job! #mavdm

[Jake Abboud @jake_abboud]

In the past week, I had to make a very difficult decision when it came to changing jobs and the ease of recall bias played a huge part in my remembering the not so great things about my old job. I did not even realize it was happening until now. #mavdm

[Jake Abboud @jake_abboud]

A very interesting read that tackles the challenging question of WHY biases affect many business decisions and how Artificial Intelligence is helping to combat making bad business decisions. #mavdm https://t.co/4sDRHShwlE

@matttheo96 I had this same problem when I worked in the restaurant industry. Many customers ignored the fact that I had other tables that required my attention and it took a lot of patience on my part. I definitely feel your pain, lol. #mavDM

[Jake Abboud @jake_abboud]

I had zero experience at the beginning of the summer when I started working construction, and as I worked more and learned more, overestimation became a slight issue for me. I thought I was learning much faster than I was and ended up making crucial mistakes. #mavdm

[Jake Abboud @jake_abboud]

This articles touches on some of the most important material we covered this week in class. Specifically, how the "three faces" of overconfidence can affect retirement. Great read. #mavDM

@lindsey__rogers I can't imagine making such difficult decisions, but I applaud your application of the material we are learning in class to your daily life. Very resourceful so early in the semester!

[Jake Abboud @jake_abboud]

As a construction worker, my boss (who is also the owner of the company) has to make decisions about what jobs we are going to do in order to make the most profit. Sometimes we have to push a job back if it is too small so we can complete a bigger and more profitable job. #mavDM

[Jake Abboud @jake_abboud]

Oftentimes, when faced with making important business decisions, we make a decision based on what is best for the business, at the detriment of the personal and business values we hold dear. #mavDM https://t.co/GFY15qtVOj
