Students are impacted by differential modes of stimuli presentation while learning in multimedia environments. In the classroom, lecturers often display written text that corresponds with their spoken instruction, but how are students impacted by this? This study aims to address how visual (text), auditory, and pictorial stimuli in isolation or combination pertaining to the same novel subject affect recall accuracy. A cross-sectional between-subjects design was utilized in the study, and we found that students did better on recall questions when they were either taught with auditory, textual and pictorial information, or taught with auditory and pictorial information.

For our project, we each individually chose a Supreme Court case. We chose a specific case, turned it into a t-shirt design, and then brought it to life with our own twist to create a contemporary representation. Our research in turn, has given us our own freedom to express what we believe about certain issues. Adam looked at Cohen vs California, Camille looked at Tinker vs. Des Moines and DaMon looked at Morse vs Fredrick. We combined our ideas and experiences dealing with Freedom of Expression to summarize what we learned in the class and applied them to our t-shirts and current issues. "Don't Stress, Freely Express."

A Zero Waste perspective is supportive of reducing plastic consumption. Zero Waste Humboldt cooperated with six local governments and three schools with sponsorship from Coast Central Credit Union, Strong Foundation, and Mad River Rotary Club. They obtained a startup grant from the Footprint Foundation to implement the process of installing water bottle refilling stations to support the local communities and reduce the amount of single use plastic. They needed several maps in different mediums showing the locations where they have installed the water bottle refilling stations. I supported their efforts by making a web based map and a printed map for their public outreach.

I chose to initiate this organization because I have the passion, credibility, and experience to instruct and coordinate groups of people regarding anything to do with the game of golf. I have always yearned to play the game of golf with others of my age too, which made me believe that there must be students that feel the same. There are also limited opportunities for students who play the game of golf because there is no existing club or sports team associated with the university. Lastly, nearby golf courses have great discounts for college students that could be better utilized.

The Health-Efficacy Scale for College Students (HESCS) assesses an individual’s belief in their capacity to change their own health. This investigation examined the psychometric properties of the HESCS by examining reliability and validity with a sample of psychology major students at a small University in northern California. Reliability was examined by utilizing internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha, rα=.82, and a test-retest separated by one-week on a subsample of 20 participants, rtt=.77. HESCS was shown to have convergent validity, R2=.32, F(2,98)=23.13, p<.01. These results show that the HESCS is a reliable and valid scale for measuring Health-Efficacy in College Students.
