Day 5 Follow-up | Art Meets Science! Making Visible the Invisible

Hi everyone,

What an interesting day 5 we had for class today!

We enjoyed hearing your perspectives on the text, _The Emotional Life of Your Brain_. Remember, if you haven’t read it yet, please prepare for Thursday’s class session by reading the sections outlined on our course blog at https://blogs.uoregon.edu/aad199artmeetsscience/the-emotional-life-of-your-brain/. There are also some great videos posted there that can assist your thinking about the topics addressed in the book.

You should have received your scoring sheet for weeks 1 & 2 via email this afternoon.

Report 1 was returned in class. Please make certain to pick up yours as our comments will aid you in furthering your writing throughout the term.
