When we were
discussing what our Majors ought to know when they come out of English 200,
we decided that a list of common terms, commonly understood would be a
useful base. Below you'll find the list we developed.
If it were me, I'd
keep a distinct set of notes which define, identify, exemplify, apply, and
connect these terms and concepts. Since these will be part of the
comprehensive final, I would suggest that you work on these throughout the
semester rather than trying to "cram" them at the term's end.
