- What area of interest/research question do you wish to explore through a research study design?
Working at the college would be better than working outside the college (in term of time) in order to do well in school? Students working on campus have more time to study than those students who have to commute to their jobs.
- What variables or concepts are you looking to observe and/or manipulate?
May students do better in their studies working in campus than outside the campus.
- What type of design would best suit your research question? (Experimental, Correlational, etc)
The type of design that best suit me research question would be correlation.
- What research method would you use to conduct your experiment? (Survey, case study, naturalistic observation, lab experiment, etc.)
The research method I would use to conduct me experiment would be a case study.
- If applicable, what would you put as your independent and dependent variables?
The independent variable would be the time and the dependent variable would be doing good in their studies.
- Give a hypothesis about what you think you might find.
Students working on campus have more time to studies and do well in their classes since they do not have to spend time commuting.
- What might be the benefits and implications of this study? In other words, who would gain from it?
The benefits might be doing better in their classes and having more time to study and prepare for their classes.
- Please reflect on the process of designing this experiment. What were the challenges you faced? Was this more/less difficult than you expected? How?
This was more difficult than what I expected because I had to find out who was actually working in school and and students working outside the school. Then found out that students enrolled and working in school did better than other students working outside.

Hi everyone,
My name in is Kimberly Chau. I was born and raised in Venezuela. My parents are Chinese. I speak three languages (Spanish, Chinese, and English). I moved to New York when I was 15 years old. I didn’t know English when I first came here, it was really hard for me to adapt to New York life. However, I managed to over come this difficulty. I graduated from Saint Joseph High School and I transferred to LaGuardia Community College. At LaGuardia I earned two degree, one in International Business and the other one in Business Administration. Later on, I transferred to Baruch and here I am taking psychology class!!! Looking toward opening my own business and traveling around the world. Also, the most important thing for myself is to help people with everything I can and to spend time with my family and friends.

"1. After reading the reflection writer’s description, what do you think was happening to them during the meditation on a physiological level?
I think that the writer chose to do the meditation at the wrong moment because he or she was already done with all the assignments. Also, since she or he was not use to sit still, instead of relaxing his or her muscle, the muscle became more tense.
2. Based on your readings throughout the semester, what areas of their central and peripheral nervous systems may have been effected during the meditation?
The spinal cord would have been in effect since the writer was not used to sit still, the muscle got tighten. This led to have a lot more tension in the whole body.
3. What questions do you have for the writer about their experience?
Why did the writer choose to meditate after finishing all the assignments if he or she had no tension, and stress??
4. Based on the description provided, would you be open to trying the same meditation exercise?
If meditating would make me more exhausted, tired, and tense as the writer wrote above I would not like to try it."
posted on Nov 30, 2011, on the post Meditation: Exhausting"1. After reading the reflection writer’s description, what do you think was happening to them during the meditation on a physiological level?
After reading the reflection writer's description, I think the writer was tired, exhausted and had no energy during her daily activities. However, after doing the meditation the writer felt much better.
2. Based on your readings throughout the semester, what areas of their central and peripheral nervous systems may have been effected during the meditation?
During the meditation the central nervous system did not have that much tension as before since the writer felt a lot calmer and relax; the tension and the anxiety dropped to at least two.
3. What questions do you have for the writer about their experience?
How long did she or he begin to feel the different while meditating?
4. Based on the description provided, would you be open to trying the same meditation exercise?
If my anxiety, stress, and tension would drop to at least to the level two I would definitely want to try it."
posted on Nov 30, 2011, on the post Meditation at a Yoga class"1. What is your reaction to the choices made by the author of this Reflection in terms of which memories they chose to keep and which memories they are discarding.
2. How would you feel if this friend did not remember you (imagining that you are their longtime friend)?
I would feel really sad because all the time that we spent together (happy and sad moment) it's like we never really developed any friendship at all all this time.
3. What role might you play in helping them reconstruct their memory?
I would make an album of all the pictures that we have together and the places that we went to. Also, I would try to spend as much time as I can with my best friend so she would feel more comfortable with me so she would know that i am her best friend and that i am there for her.
4. Based on what you’ve learned in class and through your readings, what memory encoding, consolidation, and retrieval techniques might you use or teach to help this person recover and reintegrate their memories?
Encoding- I would show her all the pictures that we have together so she can visualize it better.
Consolidation- I would show her those pictures several times so show can retain it in her memories.
Retrieval- I would ask her if those pictures that i have showed her look familiar to her. And I will take her to our favorite place and see if she can recognize anything. Also, if she has any feelings to some of the places because if she has then she is recovering some of her memories."
posted on Oct 30, 2011, on the post memory reflection"Imagine you are a longtime friend of the person who wrote one of the reflection pieces, and consider these issues for your own comment.
1. What is your reaction to the choices made by the author of this Reflection in terms of which memories they chose to keep and which memories they are discarding.
I think the author is not discarding anything because they feel they should be responsible for their past actions. Having memory lose was not a valid excuse to not remember who you are and what your responsibilities were.
2. How would you feel if this friend did not remember you (imagining that you are their longtime friend)?
Of course, I would be hurt that I'm not remembered but that does not mean I would leave it at that. I would spend time with her and hope that in time she will remember me and our friendship.
3. What role might you play in helping them reconstruct their memory? An active role. I'd share stories of our crazy adventures... I would probably make a photo album of pictures that were extra special to us and share those with her.
4. Based on what you’ve learned in class and through your readings, what memory encoding, consolidation, and retrieval techniques might you use or teach to help this person recover and reintegrate their memories?
Encoding- I would tell her all the most important moment that we have together and repeat it as much as I can. This way she knows that she did experience that moment and try to see if she can recover at least image of that moment.
Consolidation- I would show her several time the album or anything that we did or got together until she might be able to remember that particular moment that we spent together.
Retrieval- by showing her the album probably she might be able to caught something that make her remember or have a feeling about her past."
