The terms that are not will be discussed in class. You are responsible for any information discussed in class (or in any assigned readings) that pertain to these terms when it comes to taking a vocabulary quiz.

Your task is to learn the terms as you go rather than waiting until the night before a quiz. Remember, our goal here is to acquire and retain knowledge and understanding. Cramming doesn’t do much to help accomplish this goal.
