Quite the emotional day in class today, a roller coaster if I do say so! We reviewed parenting techniques at the beginning and then discussed emotion and the various Theories of Emotion. The most important theories to know are the James-Lange, Cannon-Bard, and Schachter 2-Factor. The other ones are important but you don't have to know them as in-depth as those main three.
Announcements:
1. I passed out a Personality Test that is due on Wednesday! We will be discussing personality and it will be helpful to have it all filled out.
2. Reading for tonight is 324-327
3. If you missed today please come in on Wednesday and take the quiz.

2. New test policy is that you and your parents must send me an email and/or let me know beforehand if you are going to be gone the day of the test. If you fail to do this, then you will only be eligible for up to 75% credit when you come back to take it. Let me know if you have any questions!
3. Do at least a little homework over the weekend! Will 30 minutes really kill you, or is that a false idea placed in your minds by the weekend monster?? :)
