Questions:
1. Introduce yourself to the class. You can include where you live, hobbies, family, what you want to learn from this class, what grade level you are in and anything else you want to share with the class. (This question does not count towards your word count)
2. In Chapter 2 in your textbook you learned a lot about different research perspectives used in psychology. After reading the two articles, do both of these articles seem to be scientifically accurate and why or why not? What do you notice in the information that gives you a clue as to if that article is presenting good research or not?
3. What new insight did you learn from Chapters 1 and 2 in your textbook that was helpful or interesting to you and why?
