last assignments (!!)

B block:  we're scheduled in lab 322 on Tuesday 5/13 (2nd period) and in 320 on Wednesday 5/14 (1st period).  You can go directly there - no need to go to the room first.

G block:  please meet me in 322 again on Wednesday 5/14.

Here's what you'll be working on:

--You can find the personality assignment here and the positive psychology assignment here.  You have a choice of doing one or the other.  Due Monday 5/19 for B block and Tuesday 5/20 for G block.
**Important note:  authentichappiness.org inconveniently chose today to begin a revamp of their website, so please use the following link for the Via Strengths test (the third personality test if you chose the personality assignment above, and the only test if you chose the positive psychology assignment):   http://www.viacharacter.org/www/The-Survey
Click the large round red icon to take the test and get your results.  You will have to register - select "adult" if you're over 18.  Any questions related to work, simply try to think of them in a school context instead.

--Here's the make-up assignment if you missed the Opening Skinner's Box discussion due to an absence that was for a reason other than taking another AP exam.

--Here are the extra credit options I promised you - due before or at the start of your scheduled final exam period.

--Finally (pun intended), here's a link to the 4th quarter project assignment.

Monday's class (B block only)

If you would like to bring a little something breakfasty for Monday morning's class (our last one before the exam), I decided we don't really need a sign up, and that you can just show up with it.  Contributions are welcome (and your classmates will appreciate them!) but this is totally voluntary.

It's also your last chance to ask me any questions, so keep that in mind and come with any you want answered.  Also, since you will mostly have time on your own to review, you may want to bring any study aids you have, and (as always) your notebook.
