Exam 1 was a test to my study skills and memorization. I can say with honesty that I did not score as well as I could have, therefore, I did not study as well as I could have. Looking back over the answers and what scored right and wrong, I am almost certain I know how I need to study for the next exam. I usually rely on my reading skills and writing to carry me through the preparation of tests (and reviews if provided in the class), however, PSYC 304 is a course rich with pertinent vocabulary that I believe I may have underestimated. In preparation for Exam 2, I am writing vocabulary lists to study and I believe that will help me better understand the questions once take the exam.

I found Assignment 1 to be very helpful in understanding chapter 2 and thee different types of heuristics, so here is a picture of a section of this that I used as notes to study.
