Note cards: We are doing note cards a little differently for this section.  Each one is a disorder - name of the disorder on the front; definition and/or symptoms on the back.  There are 25 (some are not listed in our book – internet research will be required).  Note cards completed are worth a test grade so do them well.  This grade will be posted in Application and Process. Meaning that if your grade is low this will have impact.
