 Hi guys! I hope you're doing well from your previous school year. I just wanted to let you know that this class could either make or break it for you. Halfen admits it's a lot of work so I advise you to stay on top of all the assignments. The vocab is pretty long, and you have to type out a good thoughtful FRQ, do 10-second progress check, and do a mastery task all for one week. That sounds a lot right but Halfen can be very understanding and she sets HARD deadlines where you CANNOT miss those dates unless you want a 0. Try to use those to your advantage.  The best activity in the class was the time you got to handle food. Make sure you have some friends or good classmates in this class. It's extremely fun when you get to play around with your food with your friends. Sculpting a brain out of an orange is more fun than you think.  You're gonna need a notebook to do the vocab, but I literally just used a fourth of my composition notebook so I suggest you to but your note...

 Short-Term Memory Test: I got remembered and spelled correctly 7 out of 12 words. I learned that my memory could be influenced by my diet and stress most of the time.  Stroop Effect Test: I had to say the color of the words even though the word itself was written as a different color. If the word was "red" but the color of the work was green, I would have to say "green" out loud. I took 16.683 seconds in the first round and then 24.099 in the second round.  Face Memory Game: I had to pick a random face and then try to replicate it again. I only got the eyes mixed up but got everything else correct! article:  https://med.uth.edu/neurosciences/conditions-and-treatments/brain-tumor/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMItffI49T2_gIVwcQYAh2EgQBJEAEYASAAEgIG4_D_BwE

 Compliance: Compliance is the social influence that can influence individuals to adopt the behavior and make it a norm in the community. A group of dancers all work together to execute a group dance in order for it to look amazing. When one dancer is feeling unmotivated because of various reasons they usually observe other committed dancers and how they take dancing seriously. That usually motivates them to be like that person.   Obedience: Obedience is the social influence to listen to others. Dancing is just like any other sport that requires many mental skills and obedience is one of the most important ones. Dancing can not just be picked up overnight. It takes time and constant obedience to be able to master a skill. When listening to instructions carefully, will help in the long run to re-evaluate what needs to be fixed or not.  Social Facilitation: When I'm around other people in the dance world, I soon eventually adapt to their behaviors. The endurance that e...
