Final Exam

Wednesday at 10:10 is your final for the first semester. I want to tell you that the final will be very difficult and I expect that you will need to study quite a bit. Click here for review questions

In addition I will include your final essay question ahead of time and will allow you to spend time at home outlining the essay, answering the question, organizing your thoughts and then devise a memory mnemonic to help you remember it for your final. Here is the question.

Elio has a theory that regular exercise can improve thinking. Help him design an experiment evaluating this theory.
Remember to first make an outline to help organize your thoughts.......
Remember to include everything you know about experiment design like: independent and dependent variables, control, type of study, experimenter bias......

good luck!
