Remember, sometime before 5 p.m. tomorrow, each group is required to send a short paragraph describing their product for the project.
Also regarding the project, remember that the paper itself is due two weeks from today (December 9), so if you are just now thinking about your topic, you are behind schedule.

Extra Credit Opportunity
I have an extra credit opportunity for you, but you will need to act quickly. My colleague has a survey, and I will offer 5 points to your total if you take it, and you will also be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift certificate from Target ... but the deadline is noon on Friday, November 13.
The link is here.
Updated 11/16 10:35 a.m.: The deadline for extra credit has been extended to noon on Friday, November 20 (but you won't be entered for the gift card)

Exam II Grades Posted
The grades for Exam II are posted. There were three questions that were poorly written and just plain bad -- so I threw them out. I went ahead and eliminated another one just to be nice, so your points were calculated as the number correct out of 46, rather than 50. The grades overall were pretty good, with a class average of 78.
Grade distribution and statistics are below. Also, I added a column with your total points. There have been 265 total points available, so you can calculate your approximate letter grade by dividing your total points by 265. For example, if your total is 2225, then 225/265 = 85%, which would be a solid "B." (If your total is in parentheses, you haven't presented your group case yet, so you would divide by 215 instead of 265). There are still nearly half the points to go, so you can still raise your grade significantly if it's not where you want it to be, but I wanted to give you some sort of mid-term progress report.
Statistics:
MEAN 78
STDEV 12.36
MIN 43
MAX 100
MODE 80

Hints For Exam
I have written the exam, so I thought I would provide some additional information to aid with your studies. It will be similar in format to the previous exam, and again, you can use your handouts as a study guide, but the textbook will provide more detailed information.
The question breakdown will be approximately:
Chapter 8 (Perception): 15%
Chapter 9 (Learning, Memory): 20%
Chapter 10 (Motivation, Personality & Emotion): 35%
Chapter 11 (Attitudes): 15%
Chapter 12 (Self-Concept and Lifestyle): 15%
This is subject to change slightly, and is not exact, but it should help you focus your studies. Good luck.
