  4. Define the Terms with an "*" and improve on definitions of terms you have in your dictionary.  Save your definitions in  your portfolio and place a copy in your homework folder. Wording should be yours  (not just copy and pasted from another source) clear, complete and understandable to someone like your self but not in this class. 

    Erase all files in your homework folder.  Place a copy of all homework, in red above,  in your homework folder (your homework folder should have your last name and first initial as the name) and bring to next class to place in class homework folder on the transfer drive
