Seniors: Your final exams will be a little early. I’ve posted a copy of the review below.

The point of this review is NOT for you to look these terms up in the back of the book. Be sure that you understand the CONCEPTS behind them. Use the PowerPoints on this website, the notes you’ve taken over the semester, the reviews you’ve done over the semester, and the book. (And probably in that order too.)

You will be allowed ONE 3×5 (no larger) note card to use for notes. You can use both sides of the card, and you may put anything that you want on it.

Keep in mind, however, that you must understand that CONCEPTS to do well on this exam.

Take some time to READ the book, rather than the glossary!
