Review for Final
Note: Please remember that the final will be comprehensive. The final will be fill in the blank and multiple choice questions. Most questions will come straight from the powerpoints, so I would review those first and as you are doing this, please pay attention to the following list of terms and concepts. Please remember that you will need to recall many of these terms and concepts on the final.
