Review List for First Quiz

Here is a list of terms and concepts from the first three weeks of class. This quiz will be relatively simple, as we have not covered much material. If you have any questions, post them as comments and I will answer them.

The list of terms refers back to concepts and theories we have talked about. The best way to study is to be able to define each term, but also be able to link each term with others up and down the list.

If you have any questions, post them here as comments and I will answer. Obviously, posting questions late Wednesday night is less likely to get an answer than earlier.
