Good Kick Start

OK, I have had much blogger guilt seeing as how I have not posted since November (ugh). I have been wanting to get back on track before my semester starts back up and since that is tomorrow, I guess now would be the perfect time.

A friend of mine "tagged" me (thanks Sheri!) so I figure this would be a great way to get me started without worrying about how to catch up on the last couple of months! So, here we go.

Here are the directions:
1)Grab the book closest to you.
2)Open to page 123, go down to the fourth sentence.
3)Post the text of the following 3 sentences on your blog.
4)Name the author and book title.
5)Tag three people to do the same

"The independent variable is is cognitive therapy versus no treatment: ten patients are randomly assigned to receive cognitive therapy and ten are randomly assigned to a no treatment control group. The dependent variable is scores on a standardized measure on the severity of depression, assessed after twelve weeks of treatment or no treatment; higher scores reflect more severe depression. Data for each of the hypothetical patients in each group are presented in Table 5.4. Note that the average scores of the two groups differ consideribly. "

Abnormal Psychology with Cases: Davidson, Neal and Kring

OK - so I bought my textbooks for this semester on Tuesday and they have been sitting right in the middle of my desk every since then. Although that excerpt sounds like a bunch a hoo-ha I am actually very excited about this Abnormal Psych class. I have decided that I would like to pursue my degree in Special Education and this class is one at Blinn that transfers to that degree.

Anyhoo- three people I will tag are Tiffany B, Stephanie R, and Erin J.
