<p>So what did you guys put?</p>

<p>I think I got everything right on number one. On number two I think I missed cerebellum, reticular formation, maybe predicative validity and semantic memory (those are iffy). What the crap is human factors?? I put down stuff like a kid running across the road or the driving instructor yelling at the student driver.</p>

<p>yeah i think the only one i missed was human factor. </p>

<p>apparently its how people interact with machinery or design etc. like how the car’s designs and placement of controls/buttons facilitates the user’s driving of the car i think…</p>

<p>unfortunately i did not know that and thought it meant -the “human” factor- and put down how his nerves may have caused him to do worse. and to compromise, he might joke with the instructor to persuade them to pass him. LOL.</p>

<p>Overall good, might have missed one or two, I completely bs-ed how reticular formation related to the driving</p>

<p>I missed reticular formation and human factors for sure. Maybe one other one too, but looks good at this point :D</p>

<p>I missed reticular formation and human factor. And on #1, endorphins may have been too vague, but I’m not sure. For the most part, pretty good.</p>

<p>For the cerebellum, this is what I said:</p>

<p>The cerebellum controls balance. The cerebellum will allow James to drive in a straight line and when he veers out of straight line, it will allow him to straighten up again.</p>

<p>Do you think I’ll get the point for it?</p>

<p>For the reticular formation I said:</p>

<p>The reticular formation controls arousal. It allows James to be adequately aroused and in the right mindframe to take a test, and as a result, he will do better.</p>

<p>Do you think I’ll get the point?</p>

<p>I wonder how they lenient they will be with the examples in the first question…some of mine were unconventional lol</p>

<p>I’d like to say that not even my teacher knew what “human factors” meant. I had to tell her after some people asked her since I had googled it after the test <_<</p>

<p>So what is the general consensus here of human factors?</p>

<p>Someone in my class got human factors right haha.</p>

<p>It is the relationship that man and machine have. Like totally bs. :)</p>

<p>The first part of the second FRQ was WHACK.</p>

<p>what was on free response question?</p>

<p>i remember it was a long one…</p>
