They used a binary logistic regression to collect their data. The study was conducted in a public urban university. The dependent variable was anxiety. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS and the alpha level was 0.05. The results showed that the first year students were far more anxious than the rest of the groups. 3. Hicks, L. J., Caron, E.

Students are worried about not getting the basics understanding of the course due to them being online and professors being hard to contact regarding lectures.Having clarity and reassurance from your professor will help reduce the levels of anxiety. This study examined various factors associated with the online learning experience, such as the demographics, prior online learning experiences, and satisfaction for the course after completing an online learning orientation.They will use a binary logistic regression to predict online students feeling anxiety. Overall the study stated that the need to address factors associated with online students feeling anxiety in order to boost their confidence and motivation towards online classes. 6.

An online survey was used to measure the students' levels of efficacy, exhaustion and cynicism. Students reported feeling more cynicism and tired due to the online learning experience. The results of this study revealed that the transition to online learning had effects on students that went beyond academics and had affected students' motivations, healthy behaviors, and social connections. 7.

Journal of American College Health, 70(5), 1356–1358. https://doi.org/10.1080/07448481.2020.1803882 This article explains how Covid-19 caused schools to start implementing ways to help college students cope with their mental health and wellbeing from the stress that came about during the unprecedented relocation to remote classes during the start of the pandemic. The two main priorities for addressing this issue were the pioneering of programs and plans for ensuring mental health service access, and intentional outreach to college students with special circumstances. It suggests that universities could start a walk-in/drop in virtual care options for students. Stepped care models, a virtual app based resource, more efficiently match students to their appropriate level of service. Minorities could face increased levels of stressors at home or access to healthcare or technology. 8. Wang, C., Zhao, H., & Zhang, H. (2020). Chinese college students have higher anxiety in new semester of online learning during COVID-19: A machine learning approach. Frontiers in Psychology, 11. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.587413 Participants of a total of 1172 students attended two studies. From 260 cities.In this study a sociodemographic questionnaire also an self rating anxiety scale was used and lastly an open question about the most recent concern. The two studies took place on different days right before the new semester and 1 month right after the new semester. The hypothesis was that more non-graduating college students will have a higher level of anxiety in the new semester during COVID-19. The results showed the second study was much higher than the first study. There were 184 and 221 students who met the cut off and were screened as positive for anxiety in the two investigations. There was no difference in the level of anxiety for those who were identified as anxious in the two studies. 9. Garris, C. P., & Fleck, B. (2022).

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Psychology, 8(2), 119–139. https://doi.org/10.1037/stl0000229 During Covid-19, the majority of higher learning transitioned to online learning. A nationwide sample consisting of 482 undergraduates had to identify a course that altered into online, and to evaluate dimensions of the course. Results showed that the transition was rated overall as negative. Students noted that classes became less enjoyable, decreased in learning values, aided less attention and effort, etfc. In contrast, classes were seen as more flexible for students and their needs. 10. Tasso, A. F., Hisli Sahin, N., & San Roman, G. J. (2021).

During the time college students experienced cancellations with class and were forced to leave their dormitories They used surveys to collect data from college students who were experiencing a serious amount of pain and sadness. After collecting the data and getting results back, the results indicated that college students were affected by Covid-19 on several levels, including fear of themselves or others in their social network contracting the virus, apprehension about the changes in coursework delivery and unclear instructional parameters, loneliness, compromised motivation, anxious and depression symptoms. 1 THE EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA The Effects of Marijuana on Appetite: A Study Based on Visual Stimuli One of the most commonly used and prosecuted illegal drugs in the United States is marijuana. Although it is known to many people by several different names, like weed, pot, chronic, herb, or grass, it has been at the center of much debate and controversy (Hall, 2017). Marijuana is “the dried flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant. It contains mind-altering (e.g., psychoactive) compounds like tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, as well as other active compounds like cannabidiol, or CBD” (What is marijuana? 2018). The controversy exists because proponents of the legalization of marijuana argue that people that are convicted of nonviolent marijuana offenses are punished way too harshly. They also believe that by legalizing marijuana, the costs to prosecute and incarcerate offenders will disappear, saving taxpayers tons of money, in addition to securing much needed tax revenue. There are also studies that show increased use of marijuana in college aged individuals in states where recreational marijuana has been made legal (Bae, et al., 2019). Opponents of the legalization of marijuana, on the other hand, argue that making marijuana legal will lead to higher rates of people using something that is addictive, which will cause health related problems, young people and children will think it is acceptable to use drugs, and "the active ingredient in marijuana has been linked to memory problems, impaired thinking and weakened immune systems, not to mention it acts as a gateway to more dangerous drugs" (Marijuana: Should the United States Legalize Marijuana 2020). There are several states that have already decriminalized marijuana in various ways, using the rationale that when marijuana is used for medicinal purposes, its benefits outweigh the risks associated with its use (Hall, 2017). Literature Review The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine outlined some of the long-term effects that marijuana had on users. Some effects where shown to impact people psychologically, biologically and socially. The study conducted looked at effects like cancer, respiratory diseases,
