I administered an exam to Nina.

After a question by Joshua inquiring about the extremely large number of chemical compounds available, we discussed the molecular chemistry of organic compounds, most of which make up drugs for internal use and for external use. Eventually it will lead to the chemistry and pharmacology of neuroacitve drugs used in psychology.

Nina worked on an example of a personality assessment in class today. Once she completed the online assessment, she had to answer the following questions: 1. What was your first impression of the questionnaire? 2. Were there any questions that you read and thought were strange? Why or why not? 3. How did you feel when taking the assessment? 4. Although not a diagnostic tool were you surprised by your results? Why or why not? 5. What things would a researcher need to consider if using this assessment? 6. Did the assessment offer any follow up options? 7. Were there any literature reviews or sources cited?

Journal entry, followed by article research. Josh searched for and read an article of interest about abnormal psychology. After reading it, Josh then identified the five steps of research: Subjects, Hypothesis, Method Used, Reliability, Validity, Any Bias, Variables, and Summarize the outcome of the study.
