Instructions on How to Use this Glossary
1. This glossary is a work in progress; meaning it is constantly under revision. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you do NOT print the entries in this glossary but instead only access it through your class home page whenever you want to consult it. This will ensure that you are reading the latest version.
2. Not all terms in this glossary may be relevant to this particular course. (See your own notes of class lectures and/or announcements on the class home page and/or the class proceedings schedule in the syllabus packet to determine which terms you must know for the purposes of tests/exams.)
3. Please keep a dictionary handy when going through this document; you may need it.
4. Hyperlinked words within the text of a definition is an indication that these words are also defined elsewhere in this glossary and therefore they must also be consulted for test purposes, even if they may not have been explicitly assigned. <-- Read this sentence again.
5. Do not succumb to intellectual laziness by omitting to study any images (images can be enlarged by clicking on them) or even the footnotes. This is really, really important! (By the way, who taught you that footnotes and end notes are irrelevant? There are over a hundred explanatory footnotes in this glossary and I did not write them for my own amusement!)
6. As I have stated in class before (and as common sense would suggest), anything I assign you to read that has been written by me should be considered as an extension of my class lectures.
