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 are worth double points for this unit – 200 points total, so do them well.  This grade will be posted in Application and Process. Meaning that if you missed a note-card assignment in the past this will pull up your average.
