BEING A RATIONAL STUDENT AT THE PSYCHOLOGY LABORATORY

House Rules in short!

On the amygdala side:
1. Read directions!
2. Wear your smile. It’s contagious! … Life salutes you when you make others happy.
3. Bring at least two jokes and share!
4. Be true, be you!
5. Treat everyone as your family – your secure ground.
6. Be a team player…except on taking exams. Don’t be conditioned to be a parasite.
7. Don’t forget to say some compliments to someone…don’t lie.
Don’t be shy to say “Thanks” after.
8. Leave your worries outside the lab…because that’s where they pick up the garbage.
9. Don’t pretend to be numb. Without pain you’ll do the same mistake.
10. Don’t hesitate to share ideas or else you’re frontal lobe will shrink.
11. Keep your cellphone/s off or in silent mode. Don’t be histrionic.
12. Don’t do vandalism anywhere, you’re not an artist. If you are, do it on the papers.
13. Deep Vein Thrombosis, a disorder caused by being in a fixed position for a long time…one
way of telling us how important “MOVING ON”is.
14. Stop propagating a unicameral form of idiosyncrasy that occurs malevolently in meritorious
piece of clasterubial brain…wag daw tumunganga! Wake up and participate!
15. It’s ok to be abnormal in an abnormal situation – Sir Ryan.
16. Maintain the orderliness and cleanliness of the lab. Don’t leave alone the OCDs
cleaning…you never can tell what will happen next.
17. Consider the “VALIDITY” of the psych-paraphernalia and the facility inside the lab…the lab is
not a place to hang-out, a canteen, a marketplace and the like. It is a place to conduct
psychological undertakings!
18. Notify your professor immediately if any unexpected circumstances happened.
19. Do a good turn daily.
20. Take nothing but pictures leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.
21. Once a psych, always a psych!

On the frontal lobe area:
1. Read directions carefully.
2. Ask for assistance.
3. Eating and drinking inside the laboratory is strictly prohibited.
4. Keep your cellphone/s off or in silent mode.
5. Vandalism is not a tolerable misbehavior.
6. Handle the psych-paraphernalia with care.
7. Should you borrow materials, request to the Psychology Program Coordinator by means of
a formal letter and log in the psychology logbook.
8. Maintain the orderliness and cleanliness of the lab.
9. Use the facility with respect and rationality.
10. Notify your professor immediately if any unexpected circumstances happened.
