Take the "What's your learning style" quiz. It is a self-assessment. Make honest answers to receive the best results. There are only 20 short questions.
Once you get your results, report them here and answer the questions:
1. Are you surprised by your results? Why or why not?
2. Do you think your learning style has changed since when you were a child? How? Why or why not?
Part Two
In a well drafted essay, please choose (1) of the writing prompts listed below. There are 3 questions. Pick one. Please keep in mind that you are choosing a topic that is of interest to "you". For example, it would be easy to assign the same question to every student. However, your interests in psychology are different than those of other students. Since you are choosing your own question to answer, you should have an easy time fulfilling the two page minimum requirement. The 2 page minimum is not a suggestion. It is a requirement. Any submission that is less than two pages will earn significantly reduced credit. Writing assignments such as this one are worth 30% of your final grade. Your submission must also be uploaded to the TURNITIN application. This application is designed to show if students have copied and pasted work from outside resources. Please submit original work. Some students have attempted to pass in work that is not there own. The TURNITIN application will show the instructor where precisely the document was found. Be original. Work Hard, Earn Good Grades. If you do choose to cite the text or any other outside work, please include a works cited or reference page. Typed. Double Spaced. Font: Times (size 12)

3. Have you ever walked into a room and could not remember why you went there? How do you retrieve that memory? Why does it seem we remember more negative events than positive ones? What would life be like if you did not remember?
