Quick Hits
This article talks about a hormone called cortisol that, “an affect cognitive functions such as memory, decision making, and attentiveness to threat-related cues”.
Quick Presentations
We have completed about 20% of the semester, and I am curious as to what you have discovered. Remember that Mueller’s worknets intend to serve two purposes: first, they are meant to promote deeper engagement with source material. Second, they are meant to help you develop a research question, to spark curiosity. To see how well they are working, I want you to get together with your groups and put together a short presentation.
Your presentation should:
- Tell us something about the problem you are investigating
- Tell us about 3 things that researchers are asking about/have discovered. Fun facts welcome!
- tell us at least two possible questions that group members are thinking about exploring
I’ll give you about 10 minutes to put these presentations together, and then we will share them with the class. Note that everyone in the group should participate in giving the presentation.
Homework
There isn’t any! I’m still behind in providing feedback on the worknets, so I’m giving you a night off while I attempt to catch up.
On Wednesday, we will work together on the final part of the worknet–the choric analysis.
