mr caro, for one who is intereted in working ahead, how should i go about preparing for the quiz on friday? and will this quiz involve an essay question?
Joey,
Yes, it is an essay. See the post below this one which describes the quiz. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Cheers!
I (finally) got to looking over my notes today and the quiz questions and I think I have a couple ideas for each of them and the studies I want to include.
But I will probably either meet with you or send you outlines via The Internets.
By the way, I made you an Editors cd right? I can't remember if I did or not.
Sounds great! I am looking forward to checking them out!
Yes, you did! I like them. They are Interpol-ishy
For essay question number 1 can I talk about the enriched environment vs. not enriched studies?
Andrea,
It is possible but there are two hurdles:
it must be about change in human behavior;
two, must show behavioral change.
Does that make sense? Let me know!
so should i do the effect of touch on growth and stress levels?
That works!
