1. Define 'hypothesis.' (OOC: Oh, look, it's the link to that class. How surprising.)
2. Tell me what you think of the Asch Conformity Experiment.
3. Pick a psych experiment and tell me if you agree or disagree with it.
4. Come up with an experiment proposal for your final project.

1. An explanation formulated to explain facts or observations.

2. It shows very handily that people are happy to go with a majority in order to gain acceptance, even if the majority is completely, utterly wrong.

3. The God Helmet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_helmet) experiment is a dubious proposition at best. The lack of information gives no insight on the spectrum of experimental subjects - did they previously believe in God, or the earthly presence of the dead? The information presented is not enough to form much of an opinion on, much less count as a study of much worth.

Krycek spaced off a little as he got to the last question, possibly imagining many things he could do in the name of experimentation upon fellow students.
