may have been in italics but discussed in class during notes or discussions.
It may help to make a study guide completing the above objectives. Remember you can use any notes on the test
but I would HIGHLY recommend you make a study guide based on the difficulty of the 5 tests before this one! GOOD
LUCK and thanks for an awesome semester!
