The Key Terms will be part of the midterm and final exams in the course as the exam identifications. You should study these terms using your textbook, but you are also encouraged to use any other sources, such as Wikipedia. A good answer to a test identification of a key term should include answers to these basic questions: who, what, where, when and why important. It is especially important to focus on why the key term is important. Check out some examples.
