Hi friends! This is Kaasvi. I am a senior at William Mason High School located in Mason, Ohio. My tentative aspiration for the future is to become a neuroscientist conducting research focused on mindset and motivation. With that being said, I predictably enjoy STEM-related subjects. To answer the ice-breaker question, I would rather have a horrible short-term memory because typically, the information stored in our long-term memory is considered more important to our learning.

Have a question or want an answer on a specific subject? You have come to the right place. Below are some recommended guidelines for asking questions: 1) Title your post with the specific topic that you need help with (ex: Factoring polynomials, the cell cycle, Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to dictatorship, etc.) 2) Frame your questions with as much clarity as possible. Use any videos, pictures, diagrams, etc. for support. 3) If you receive an answer to your question, ALWAYS double-check with multiple sources to ensure that you have been provided with the right answer. We are all human, and we all make mistakes! This is why it is also important to correct someone if you realize that they have provided you with an incorrect answer. 4) Do not feel offended if you don't receive an immediate response. Again, you should always reference other sources such as your teachers and textbooks if you need instant support. 5) Once you receive the answer to your question and are satisfied with it, acknowledge that individual's response and thank them for their support. Below are some recommended guidelines for answering questions: 1) Address the question and person specifically when answering the question to avoid any confusion 2) Answer a question only if you believe you have enough knowledge and skill in the content area 3) Double check your answer using supplementary sources 4) Use videos, models, diagrams, etc. to make your explanations as clear as possible

Take a moment to "dump out" everything that you have learnt this week-these can be specific topics from the classroom or general academic wisdom you have learnt through your experiences. If you find someone's brain dump interesting, feel free to follow up with them. Have fun and celebrate your learning!
