Hmmm....18 hours later, not a post. We are waiting for your brilliance :-). Extra credit point to the first post.
What I have Learned about memory was that their are short term memory which is something that holds about seven items for up to twenty seconds before the materials is forgotten. Long term memory is relatively permanent can hold vast amount of information. Sensory records information from the senses for up to three seconds. There are a chunking process that groups distinct bits of information into larger wholes to increase short term memory.
From my blog:
Flashbulb Memory
Flashbulb Memories are created in great detail when we experience something that has a strong significant meaning to us. We remember the events very vividly and can recall very specific characteristics about the time and location where the memory took place (such as what you were wearing, who you were with, and what the environment you were in looked like.) Something most people who live in the United States have a Flashbulb Memory of, is where they were when they heard the devastating news of 9/11.
So far, I think memory is a very informative, important and fun chapter. I have learned about the different types of memories that a person have, which are: Sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. The one that I thought was really interesting is short-term memory because it is amazing how a person can hold up to 7 items for up to 20 seconds before it is forgotten or in some cases transferred to long-term memory. It is very cool how most humans group information in larger wholes, which is called chunking. Well, I am very excited to learn more about how our brains and especially our memory function.
This is Melissa: you did a good job explaining Lina because u gave alot of details about the three types of memories.
i enjoyed learning about repressed memories and how they occur through the one sin of intrusion, persistance(unwanted, repressed memory)and how repressed memopies can affect a persons childhood, for better or for worse, also i learned on ways to improve my own memory, by rehearsing, and studying the material, and also, doing the above shortly after you learn the material, which creates less time for you to be interupted, mis-informed, ect. to make you forget your memory. you can also enhance your memory or memory on certain material by creating cues(triggers that help you remember what you are trying to remember.-)_(-
i enjoyed manicanias, because the blog informs you on flash bulb memories which i think people experiaence all the time...

So far I think memory is interesting especially the chunking process. It's when we more easily recall information when we organize it in meaningful units. For example I couldn’t remember 7573901798,But A phone number I will remember such as ( 754)204-8676. The parentheses and dashes make it less complicated. We as humans also rehearse information which improves are memory.
You all are such academics.
I am very impressed and proud of your insights, reflections, and ability to articulate you viewpoint. Keep them coming family! So far, all of your points have been right on the money.
PS: This is not a posting that anyone should reply to as their response to another post :-)
Peace and blessings!
In response to mikeyj1 I agree about the interesting facts of repressed memories during childhood. And i too found some ways to help my memory now that i know about the rehearsing and practicing while the info is still fresh in your head as well as reducing the disrupts in between I guess that can better my studying habits as well!
To this point, I find learning about memory to be very interesting. So far, my favorite part of memory is the chunking process. Also, I loved learning that when we forget, it's not that the information is not there, but sometimes it may be due to failure to retrieve the information.
I too think that Lina did a great job in giving details when she explained the three types of memory. She made it easy to understand how short term memory works.
MEMORY ROCKS!!! From memory i've learned about Hermann Ebbighaus who believed that the amount we remember depends on the amount of time we spend learning.I believe he was right, for the spacing effect proves that we gain more information by studying over time. I also learned about implicit and explicit memory. These types of memories were found in people with amensia, people can learn how to do something: IMPLICIT Memory, but may not know they know how to: EXPLICIT Memory. I cant believe that memory actually denied my studying habit; CRAMMING
In response to Lina, I agree it is interesting to know that our brain can hold up to 7 items for 20 seconds until it's forgotten. It just shows that if we dont use the information we will lose it. But it is cool to know that by constantly rehearsing the information we can store it into our LTM. I also agree that chunking makes life so much easier, it allows us to quickly encode a long list of information as numbers.
Oh yeah, by the way, this is Carl.
I really liked mikej1's post, he seemed really confident, and he was really informative.
Well, I agree with Christina K. I believe that we retained more easily the information we process by studying over a certain period of time.
Memory is my assigned chapter and even though I've learned about many interesting processes, the one I'm most intrigued in is the misinformation effect. Elizabeth Loftus was able to show that by using suggestive words when speaking or asking questions you could cause a person to be swayed into "remembering" the nature of those words. This being even more probable in children when asked to rehearse memories.
Geneva Smith's post reminds me about the different methods of learning. I feel it's easier for me to remember phone numbers in units because of how they look. I can focus on the first number within the parentheses and assume what the rest will be, 954/754/305. Then I can focus on memorizing the other 7 numbers.
Eventhough It's like midnight, it's never too late for Psychology...
What I've learned about Memory is forgetting. It is how a person fails to encode information for entry into his or her memory system; also resulting from retrieval failure.
After memory is stored it may also fade, rapidly at first and then leveling off.
Even Freud said that retrieval-related forgetting may be caused by a lack of retrieval cues, by proactive or retroactive interference interference, or even, by motivated forgetting.
˙o xɐɯ
I do not know if you can respond to a fellow psychology student's response...
Yet... I would like to know if you, Anabell, could memorize the numbers if the numbers didn't have the parentheses but had periods (european style), ex. 754.565.1212, would you forget the numbers or would it be the same as the numbers with parentheses?
I learned that it may take time for you brain to encode something into long term memory but once it is stored in is there permanently.
In response to muffincat,
I've found it easy to remember certain number combinations in which I use as passwords. Such as 7978787. Most likely due to the pattern but it is as easy for me to remember that as I would a phone number.

In response to Mikej1 I also enjoyed learning about ways to improve our memory since we have to remember things to pass test. As for studying it has been proven the less time interrupted the more you will remember. like the example Mr.Jones gave in class about mario repativIley saying the girl number without being interrupted. Also chunking is not good.
this chapter allowed me to learn many new things about a subject that i seemed to have interest in, memory. this chapter allowed me to get a better understanding of different types of memory and how our brain stores them.In fact I never knew that it takes the brain some time to encode information into long memory, perhaps this may be the reason why I always forget my parents birthday ;). two terms that stood out to me through the hole chapter was IMPLICIT, learning how to do something and EXPLICIT memory, not aware that you can do something. overall this chapter was quite a pleasant chapter one that I will be sure to REMEMBER....JULIANNE WRIGHT.
In response to Christina K., i too agree that memory ROCKS! in fact i believe the same bit of information in this chapter seemed to interest us. both EXPLICIT and IMPLICIT memory were terms that stood out to me and i know can have a better understanding of these different types of memory.I wouldn't necessarily say I agree with Hermann E. because I on the other hand believe the importance of something rather than the time period allows us to remember.
Who would have thought that memory would be interesting? I know I didn't. Actually, I was expecting a boring chapter. Nonetheless, I can honestly say that I've learned some pretty interesting things such as the fact that we must maintain our memory by repetition. It was pretty interesting to me because we don't even realize it, but it happens.
I also learned three different ways to store memory better.....
1. encoding its meaning
2. visualizing it
3. mentally organizing it
Along with Lina Kuratomi I too agree that memory is a very informative chapter. And the fact that a person can hold up to 7 items for up to 20 seconds before it is forgotten or in some cases transferred to long-term memory, knocked my socks off when I heard it :)
I must say, one thing that definitly caught my attention during Memory was Repression. Back to what Mr. Jones said on how people tend to focus more on things that affect them, which is true in any case. I do suffer from repression, but the book didn't cover it in the feilds which I wanted. But nonetheless, it was interesting on how sometimes the repressed memories come back at very unfortuitous moments, while others may in fact be fake. Something else I found interesting were that throughout the chapter, false memory was talked about, like the misinformation effect. Is this not how brainwashing is incorporated into a person psyche, making them believe strongly in something that was simply planted in to their brain by an otherside source rather than experienced? Ah, rambling. But yes, these are the things I learned about. Not to mention of course long term memory and encoding (i.e. visual, acoustic, and semantic.)
To comment Manicania, flashblub memories are a common experience with highly emotional settings. Great job explaining and giving a common, understandable example.
Hm we all know how great and attentive Richard is, right? Let's see what i can remember... Alright so memory is an interesting chapter, in that its one of my main reasons for taking psych. Well the chain to remembering goes as follows. It begins with a stimulus. Should you choose to acknowledge said stimuli, it will either trigger you STM (short-term memory), otherwise its forgotten. After that i drawn a blank...but i remember that!
Well this is of course Kassy..lol
Let's see..what did I learn....well...there are 2 types of memory...short-term and long-term. To improve memory, rehearsing the material makes it stick and stay in your mind longer. -Kassy_wassy=]
LiLiana:mm I strongly think that memory has not been an easy chapter. It is hard for me to memorize things but these are points that I've learned:I have learned in depth the two types of memory-long term and short term memory-.It is awesome how out memory works like a computer in the sense that we store,encode(record) and can retrieve it to use it.I can also understand those significant moments that happen so quick and that we are able to remember and relate to it(flashbulb memory.In addition to this,I've learned that one can memorize by repeating(rehearing)action and sometimes it happens without any effort(automatic pros.)Oh! something really cool is the way we memorize info,we chunk info and learn those who come first in the list.mm..I also learn the different ways to memorize which are either by sound,pictures,and many more.Ok.its alot to write so i'll end now... thnx!
in respond to Manicania >I think you have put the perfect example to flashbulb memory because many of us know about this event and it was really important in our life. I like the way you explained the meaning,even a young person would be able to understand it.. it is very good! this also cleared any questions i had about the word. so i think you did really good!!
"Ughhh...another exam coming up in two weeks! :( Decisions, decisions. Maybe I can relax, clear my mind, then study as the test gets closer (cram it), or study little by little to fully retain the information.Ummm cramming it is. :]"
-On an average school day, that is what usually occurs in my mind. I always come home and contemplate whether to study, or take an occasional "break" for a day or two (or three) :P. Although I have tried reasoning with myself to "cram" information,I'm starting to realize that this might not ultimately be the best decision. I have learned that like a computer we encode information. By visuals, acoustics, or semantics we are able to type what has occurred into our "computer". The next step would naturally be to store the information in short term memory, by pressing the save button, of course our document will be saved. However, we are still capable of forgetting this information unless we go through retrieval. By opening the encoded document on our computer that was saved, we should be able to retrieve and store information into our long term memory. Supporting this idea was Herman Ebbighaus who emphasized to study along the way & NOT to cram information briefly before trying to retrieve it.Things such as chunking information (a phone number grouped by parenthesis & hyphens)or maintenance rehearsal (repeating the number over & over) can help you retain the information into your short term memory. But if you really want to retrieve the information & store it into your long term memory, your retrieval cues can serve as a huge role. By pertaining whatever it is that you're trying to remember to something similar, it will be easy to connect the two, and even recall one event which would lead to the ultimate discovery of what you were trying to remember. So these are all things to REMEMBER, never FORGET, your MEMORY, your THOUGHTS, and even the things that may seem irrelevant are all up to YOU. For future references, I will no longer be relying on cramming information. :)
I learned the process of memory and how in each stem it can enter a stage which it will be forgotten or can continue along and stay as long term memory. First it goes from stimulus to sensory memory and then attention comes in and it becomes short term memory. After all this it can encode the information to become long term memory.
In response to Cristina K.: She was explicit in what she learned and also explained why she liked it. we also had similar taste because I found amnesia to be interesting too.
..@ Annabell:; I found that interesting too. Elizabeth Loftus structured the "misinformation effect" which gives you guidelines & further suggestions as to how NOT to forget. Through cognition, she demonstrated how problems occur with an eyewitness testimony & the recalibration of constructive memory.
..P.S MR.JONES iS DA BESTEST. :] According to my LONG TERM MEMORY,i REMEMBER flattery deserving extra credit. ;]
If Stephanie gets extra credit, wouldn't it not be fair for the rest???

I 100% agree with G.Smith. I particularly find memory one of the most interesting and alarming chapters covered thus far. I find it interesting that I won't be able to remember 10 random numbers, as opposed to a telephone number.However, I do recall Mr. Jones giving us a lecture on how repetition can increase our memory of a specific subject.
In my opinion Memory is a very interesting yet complicated chapter because it involves a large amount of "memorization" such as the process of memory, the types of memory & examples of memory. What caught my attention the most the numerous types of memory & how they all are apart of our daily lives. My favorite is autobiographical memory because it includes recollections of personal experiences.
What I learned and enjoyed In Memory is the three main stages of in retrieval of memory which are encoding:receiving, processing and combining of received information, storage:creation of a permanent record of the encoded information, and retrieval: the recollection or calling back of the stored information. Also episodic memory and its when you remember a certain situation that are associated with emotions,and if you were to remember all the stimuli around your brain you would be overloaded with information.
well....i found memory to be one of the most interesting aspect of psychology...one thing i learned wuz episodic memory when a situation from the past is remembered or declarative memory when one can remembor something that they learned. For example being able to recite my Silver Lakes elementary school song that was sung every morning. I also learned how motivated forgetting helps us forget something that is too traumatic for us too remember like if some one gets burns on 75% of their body they aren't going to remember every second of it.
I agree with Lina Kuratomi because this is one of the chapters the i enjoyed and most people dont realize how much they use their short term memory and its truly amazing how a person can hold up to 7 items for up to 20 seconds before it is forgotten.
in response to stephy you learned ALOT! but dont forget about the sensory memory and how we dont remeber ALL of the stimuli around us because it would be too much unnecessary information built up in our mind....thats all i have
I found it interesting how that French doctor's patient with amnesia didn't know why she avoided shaking his hand. I also found it funny how damage to the hippocampus can cause problems dependent on which side received said damage. Damage to the left side of the hippocampus can cause problems with remembering verbal info while damage to the right causes problems with images.
Muffincat's response was very informative and they seemed to know what they were typing about, which will be a plus for the AP exam. Also, not Annabell, but I don't think substituting parentheses for periods will change your ability to memorize numbers if they are already chunked together.
Ok, so I think im the last one leaving a post lol I guess we save the best for last j/k..... Any who I would to start off by saying that memory is one of those things that a person has to have throughout school in order to get to the next level, and is the actual KEY to pass that particular class. One thing I found most interesting was how we use the method of ''CHUNKING'' to memorize alot of information given to us at one time. For example, someone could give us the numbers 181219932010 and it would be harder to remember and process them quickly like we would if it was given to us in ''chunks'' like this: 1812, 1993, 2010.
I would like to say that I really liked what stephenie blogged. I agree fully with coming from school trying to determine whether or not I will study each night or takes some breaks and just ''cram'' all the information all in one day. I also like how she tied that into the whole memory concept and how tht effects us.
From Torizzle: What I have learned about memory is that Short term memory only stores memory for about 20 to 30 seconds. However, even though our memory only stores information for such a little bit of time, attending to the information (whether or not it be specific or not) will alow it to go on to the next stage of memory known as long term memory. If we recall that information repeatedly we will be unconsious of it and outside of are awarness but can be recalled into our memory to be used.
Torizzle here again: In response to Annabell's posting, I am surprised at the misinformation effect. Due to my lack of reading everything I didn't know that people can can be swayed into remembering certain words when using "suggestive words" It help the understanding of recalled words more. =)
This Is Jexon AKA Big DADY talking live from his kitchen eating some cereal. Now memory was a very good and interesting chapter. I learned many new things from the great presentation my classmates did. I learned that short memory only stores memory for about 20 to 30 seconds.(interesting)Also that short term memory is limited in duration if NOT rehearsed and there is limited capacity.(WOW moment) And Of course forgetting occurs when new memories are coming in. Thank you for listening. Straigh from the best kitchen in town.
Yes this is jexon aka big DADY back again responding to Nia post. I agree about the statement that she said of all the different types of learning. Also how we use them on a regular day basis and we dont ask or wonder how can we remmember all of it. Very interesting.
Saving the best for last…I’m glad my team agreed to choose memory as our final blueprint. It was definitely a chapter that became personally meaningful the more I studied it. I’ve always known myself to overestimate my short term ability. I’ve put myself in terrible and uncomfortable positions trying to rely on unrehearsed information. Getting lost, forgetting the names of old friends, going into the kitchen and forgetting my purpose there…Now I know that this is no fault of Jovanna herself but simply the human dilemma of memory. What I found most interesting was the phenomenon of Effortful and Automatic Processing, in which some things we notice and process with little to no effort (ie: Mr. Jones’ pants were black today!) and other things (ie: What was Mr. Jones saying about thinking and language? *shrug*) requires much more effort to process. These two processes work together by applying old concepts to new things and contending with new things in which we have no old concepts implicitly stored. When I think more about this, it’s a helpful thing to that I don’t have to bust a vein to process the color of Mr. Jones’ pants everyday.
Hey Crystal….I think you’ve asked about repression and suppression ever single chapter thus far! And now we can all be happy that you’ve gotten your questions answered! (JK) (We’ll be waiting again next chapter I know…) (JKJK) Anyway…yes, I’d definitely need to reevaluate my opinions concerning the whole idea behind brainwashing. Your post brings me to think about something else too…people who become pathological liars, are they more than just deviant jerks? Do they really believe themselves by perhaps creating false memories? Hmm…
Gabriel here! Good stuff in this chapter. Learned a bunch. A couple of things that really intrigued me were both the retrieval and forgetting process'. I think its pretty cool now knowing how we remember and access or memories. I never really thought about scents activating memories even though its happened tons of times (Like an known unknown...or maybe the other way around?)! And I know full well there are tons of memories I cant activate sadly because lack of a stimulus to activate it.
Hey Jovanna! I totally know what you mean about bad memory. All this time I thought it was solely my fault I didnt remember certain things. Now I know, I have to rehearse more! Darn encoding failures will have a hard time messing with the new and improved Gabriel Gornail! Wait, what was I supposed to be doing at the computer again... <_< Oh well I guess...
well this chapter was kinda hard but at the end very intersting. I learned many new things that I dint heard of before. The different type of learning and how they work. Also how we can remember like a routine of a band or dance we practice alot 10 years ago. And if somebody ask us to do it, we would be able to do it like we just learned it.
In chapter 9 memory I have learned a lot of fascinating things that i used to stop and wonder about before. Memory has been a very interesting chapter to me. Memory is the ability to remember something, some short-term and others long-term. Constructing a memory consists of encoding,storing and retrieving. It starts from sensory memory to short-term memory and if you repeat it or rehearse it it becomes a long-term memory. You can encode a memory by images, the best way to me is chunking :) because i recall information better when i organize it into meaningful units. This interesting chapter has helped me learned how to improve my memory also. There have been times where i cant even remember what I did the day before or what homework is due the next day. But now i know how to....i have to make the material important to me, recall events, study, rehearse, etc. Everyone's memory works differently. some people can recall events from years ago and others cant even recall what they had for breakfast. I've been able to recall events but only the ones that where the most significant or humorous to me.
When I think of memory and myself I always comment that I have a bad memory, especially when it comes to recalling information on a test. One tactic that I've recently started to do is recite things aloud several times, such as vocabulary, which is called rehearsal maintenance. Rehearsal maintenance is remembering by mere repetition. This is also familiar with me when it comes to drama club and remembering scripts.
Comenting back on what SuperRadaMan4! was saying. I agree with his post because I never reALY started thinking about how our memories are trigger. For example when we have a random thought about something that happened weeks ago.
gabizzle responding to her crazy besties post (so called big daddy)..i also learned that short-term memory only stores information for a short period of time..20-30 seconds to be more specific. i always wondered about it but never put much thought into it.
In response to Liliana, I agree with her statement of how it is cool that we memorize information by chunking and also remember the first and last thing in a sequence.
..@ max.it was a JOKE.i am not receiving extra credit, nor did i expect too. :x
Stephanie gets extra credit...and yes it is fair :-)
There...it is settled. That's how I roll ;-)
Have a great night guys!
Okay I just couldn't hold myself from writing something! Even though,I was one of the first comments, I read all of the other comments and thought that they were really good! I learned a lot from reading them, and this blog rocks! :) Well that's all for tonight family! Peace and blessings (Like Jones says :)
Had a great time reading ALL of your thoughts....I really enjoyed it. I may even go back and Reread them.
Your academic findings were thorough, and even though not all of them were 100% correct, I feel all of you get the idea of what you were reflecting on. Well done! Understand that I feel blessed to be apart of your journey, so thank you for sharing your journey with me.
Christina Kale- Memory does Rock!
Gabriel Gornail- Congrats on the new and improve Gabriel ;-)
Lina: Outstanding effort, thank you for being so spirited. If I had a "game ball" I would give you one for your final message and dedication.
Stephanie: Your post were awesome. Thank you for your great efforts. I like how you made the connections to studying. Very proud. BTW, don't tell Max about the extra credit you are receiving.
Max: It is never too late for Psychology, thanks ;-). Also, Stephanie is not getting extra credit.
Kassy-Wassy: Nice blog, awesome nick name.
Aganette: Thank you for making the connections to studying as well.
Ok family, if I did not respond to you personally, I will try to get you next time. The truth is, EVERYONE did a spectacular job. You all earned an "A"!!!!!!!!!!!
I know im late, and I dont expect to receive any points for it, but still wanted to respond to the assigment. :)
-What really interests me in Chapter 9 is that we have three types of memory which are sensory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Also that it is not stored all in on place of our brain. I used to think that we just "just" remembered things and well it was somewhere in the back of our brains, it was something unconcious that we humans did. This chapter helped me realized that i was waaayy wrong. It helped me understand how our brain works with our memories and how it is like a computer that encodes,storages,and retrieves information. How if one part of the brain is hit or damaged we can still remember some things.
in response to jovannas post :)
-I can relate to what she goes through because i always used to think i had a bad memory and just like she said i know now it is not my faault. :D I also find interesting how we can encode information automatically, but there are other things and issues that we really have to put some thought to.
I enjoyed this chapter :)
Well I guess I am the official last person to respond to the blog. Memory was a very interesting and knowledge chapter that I believe gave me tools to help me perfect my study habits. Humans remember things better when they repeat things and study longer. We have two types of memory short term and long term memory. Short term memory can only hold about seven items up to 20 seconds as Lina stated earlier, so cramming right before a test isn’t helpful Carl. The other type of memory is long term which can store a plethora amount of information. We also remember by chunking process. In class we was suppose to remember CIADCFFBIDCSI in about 10 seconds, the next time the letters were group CIA DCF FBI CSI. Organizing letters and numbers by dashes, spacing, and signs make it easier for people to understand. We also remember what is more significant and relevant to our lives. Well I guess that basically summit it all up for memory.

what i learned about memory is that we have two terms short term and long term memory. Short term memory can code things and hold them for about 30 seconds if they want to be converted into long term memory they have to be encoded and practiced.short tem memory also uses chunking to keep so much info in so little time.
One thing that ive learned from this memory is theres short term memory and long term memory. Short term memory is limited not only in duration but also in capacity. Short term memory typically stores just seven or so bits of information. Long term memory is an increase in a synapse's firing potential after, rapid stimulation. And its a way of learning and keeping information stored. I also learned about sensory memory, which deals with memory of the senses like sight and hearing. Its actually kind of funny because I used to have a little problem with short term memory and im sometimes a little too forgetful of things but once you start exercising your brain it starts getting better.
Well this is a response to camila..
I felt the same way as you. I never put too much thought in how we remember things but yea your right this class has opened my mind and taught me what really goes on in our mind and how we remember things!... I miss u in 1st period.. although I almost never went.. im doing better in 7th btw... and(now I think im the real last person to do this assignment).lol
in response to paco i completely understand what u meant about episodic memory, it takes an experience to make a memory
Well sadly I waited really long to respond and i apologies again. Well from memory i know there is different types of memory, some you automatically know like how to ride a bike, some you have to think about like when you take a test. Also there is short and long term memory. Many things occur your brain keeps some for up to 3 second before disregarding it other thing you process much like a computer with the encoding. Then it is stored in short-term but will pass to long term based on repetition and importance. Then like computers we can recollect or bring back memories we need.Well that's all i have on memory.
Good morning America Ha. I know… I’m not that funny.
Through the memory chapter, I remember learning about how there are different kinds of memory: Repressed memory, long-term and short-term memory. But one thing I found to be really interesting was how sometimes when you have a repressed memory (something you choose not to remember because it was tragic or upsetting in your past life) it goes into your subconscious and sometimes you don’t even notice it’s there until something from your sensory memory reminds you of it. I lash out a lot, I think this whole repressed memory might have something to do with it.
After reading Manicania's bolog I remembered flashbulb memory. It's very interesting. Some memories that are impacting we can remember just about every detail about it. Like when I was a kid I remember almost drowning in a pool I was just 3 years old. Yet the memory seems like it had just occured.
SuperRadaMan, that’s such a cool name
Well, there’s my comment. That’s it.
Or not, April Fools. Ok ok, I agree with what you said. I think the fact that sense can bring back forgotten memories is a cool thing. I never would have thought.
Well i could say that this exam date was the only one i memorized since the beginning of the year.thanks to Mr.Jones. For this test, i know i was well prepared and we had all the tools we needed to pass the test. We went over everything so there was no reason why we weren't able to pass. In the other hand, my other AP exams were a little difficult due to the lack of comprehension. The most helpful resource was the index cards and the barron cards.I think I was well prepared, but the only thing i would change is the possibility to go over each chapter at least twice so it would be easy to recall.We went over everything that was on the test. I'm glad i took this class because now i can value real hard work.
