One more important announcement I forgot to mention!!!
-Your test corrections are due on Wednesday at the beginning of class! I will NOT accept them after Wednesday. I am making this policy because it is already charitable that I am letting you do them at all, and you most likely won't be able to do them at all in college :)
See you on Wednesday and hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

Today we learned about the components of an experiment. We discussed some more examples to help clarify what the different variables mean. We also took the name test today! If you missed today then you will need to come in and pick up a handout, take the quiz, and take the name test.
Announcements:
1. Don't forget the reading for next time's quiz. The guided notes for it will be up by 5pm today.
2. If you want to present for extra credit on Friday, please come prepared with a 1-2 minute presentation. In order to receive extra credit for it you will need to briefly summarize, not read from, your paper. Your options for presenting are a portion of your Why Psych paper or your social norm assignment.
NOTE: I know I said you could present something from your Modern Perspectives assignment, but that doesn't make much sense so its only the Why Psych of social norm. :)
3. I will not provide an additional review for your test. If I were to make one it would a lot like your guided notes, so use those and the assignments to study!
