As for the brain quiz, you need to know....EVERYTHING!  Lol. No really, it's about all of the brain structures we discussed in class, neurons and neural transmission, brain plasticity, handedness...pretty much everything we talked about last week.  It's 25 questions, multiple choice and matching.  Good Luck!

Unit 1 Test

1/20/2011

 
Great turn out for Test Tutorial!  Hope you guys check with your study buddy for the highlights.  If not, i put a few things under the test and review tab.  Good Luck!
 
Great!  So now we're a week behind.  I'm going to have to readjust our schedule.  I guess your first test will be next Friday.  We will cover Zodiac Signs and Scientific Research on Tuesday, Statistics and Ethics on Wednesday, and Review on Thursday.  I will cover this material fairly quickly so you need to have your outlines and flashcards done.  You will take a lot of notes next week so be prepared.  Have a great weekend!
