Answer to Question 1

The response should describe a study that might reasonably address the question. In addition, it should:
a. Reflect an experimental study, a quasi-experimental study, or a correlational study. A well-designed experimental study could reveal a cause-effect relationship, whereas other designs might suggestbut could not actually provethat the new technique fosters better study habits.
b. List at least five of the following steps:
 Identify the area of focus
 Design an appropriate study
 Seek permission from students and their parents
 Inform a supervisor about the project, and seek his or her permission
 Identify a valid means of assessing students' study habits
 Deliver the new technique to some or all students
 Collect data about students' study habits
 Analyze the data
 Draw conclusions from the data
 Inform students and parents about the results
 Develop an action plan (i.e., decide whether to use the new technique and, if so, how)

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
