Background noise such as traffic and social noise ( the noises we encounter on a daily basis)  can decrease cognition by up to 40% with the possibility of scoring 15% less on exams.  To maximize cognitive potential, and thus test grades, a quiet environment should be maintained.  A suggestion is to adopt noise-canceling devices like noise-canceling headphones to assist when reading or studying.  More information can be found on flyers around the hallway and in our library.  Brought to you by the Sophomore SERP Cognition Group.

What's the plural of octopus?

 

Despite what you might think, it isn't octopi! The plural of octopus... are octopuses or octopodes?!

While it might seem odd, octopus isn't a Latin word, but rather Greek, so it is conjugated as octopuses, since octopodes is archaic.
