1. People, this online course material is a permanent work in progress; meaning it is constantly under revision. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you do NOT print this material but instead only access it online whenever you want to consult it. This will ensure that you are reading the latest version.
2. Not all terms in this course 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 material; you may need it.
4. Words highlighted in bold 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 included images and end notes. This is really important! (By the way, where did you get the brilliant idea that footnotes and end notes are irrelevant? Test questions may also come from notes and images.)
6. As I have stated in class before (and as common sense would suggest), anything written by me I assign you to read should be considered as an extension of my class lectures. Hello!
