Dear AP Psych students, 
                                         The single and most important any former psychology student could give you is to do your vocab! It is quite tedious and it will take quite a bit of time but it is absolutely worth it. The two times I decided not to do I could see how it negatively affected my overall grade. It's good having a safety net just in case you do badly on the unit test. 
                                         The project that I enjoyed most in the emotion project. I enjoyed looking through songs that I have heard previously to identify the emotions present in them. I was able to study multiple emotions and many aspects of those emotions by associating it with music. 
                                         The activity I enjoyed the least was the content digs. At the start of the year everyone would put time and effort into them and it was an effective way to understand the material. The more often we got them the less effort was put into them, everyone just wanted to finish them as quick as possible and we didn’t learn much from them. I don’t want them to be completely gotten rid of but just given less frequently.  
                                          Towards the end of the course it would be nice if there could be a career day. Where Ms Halfen could teach us about careers you can have with a psychology degree. It would be helpful for students who enjoyed this class isn't sure what they want to do in the future. It could help them consider jobs that wouldn't have thought they could get with a degree in psychology. 
                                            All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I wish that it could be a yearlong course and you lucky to have Ms Halfen as a teacher. 
                                                                                                                             Yours sincerely, 
                                                                                                                              Anvy.

Post 6 - Personality Tests

I am the ENFJ type. ENFJ's are the benevolent "pedagogues"of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn unto their nurturing. I scored the highest in the judging category and people with the Judging preference want things to be neat, orderly and established which I do identify with. This test said that that I performed very poorly. I got extremely bored during the test and stopped giving much effort for the hard questions. I wasn't surprised with this result due to the very little effort I put into it but I do not think it is a good measure of IQ.              The results showed that I was introverted, agreeable, conscientious, conventional and apparently a little neurotic. I was not surprised with the first few characteristic but the neuroticism shocked me . Although I don't agree with the neurotic part, in other ways the test was pretty accurate.                   ...

https://www.pancan.org/news/tips-to-improve-the-taste-of-food-during-treatment/                                           When undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer there are many side effects, one being that patients may face is a change in how they experience food. Sometimes medications added to treatment regimens can also alter taste and often, the mouth can become dry, and this too can impact taste. One of the tips are that patients can try rinsing or cleaning their mouth just prior to eating using a non-alcohol mouth rinse, anything that contains alcohol is too abrasive. Another is that certain foods can taste unpleasant to some patients, if this is the case, try foods that do not offer complex tastes, and are instead more bland and simple (i.e. use a mild sauce with pasta, or go without sauce altogether). This makes sense to me because when a family friend ...
