Good class this afternoon.  I hope that it was beneficial for a review time.  Use the terms that were on the board and make some good study notes for yourself.  IF you get those concepts under your belt you will do fine on your final.  The final will be weighted.  IT will count a third of your grade, your paper will be a third, and homework will be a third.
