(Note: The following is a guide to what you should know. Terms or names that appear in several units are sometimes mentioned just on first appearance. To help you locate items, these are presented in roughly the order in which they were talked about in class/text. In all cases, I've listed the people or phenomena from class notes first. Identifications on the test will ALWAYS be from this list. Also, a few terms below have lines through them; ignore those terms...)
