This also means that all of your assignments are due Wednesday (2/26).... please bring them and have them ready to turn in to me or else they are late and I cannot accept them!
Because of time constraints we didn't have time to do a good review in class, so I have made a mini study guide for you to use in preparation for your test-
here is a list of terms and a few concepts that you should be familiar with. This means you should be able to describe/define, give an example and apply it; if you are able to do these 3 things you will do very well on the test :)
