This week in recitation we reviewed the first and second lectures of the semester, presented by Dr. David Ehrenfeld. In this post, I will briefly outline some of the terminology and concepts we discussed. This post will not substitute your personal notes, but will highlight some key terms and concepts. Therefore, specific research examples from lecture, or from your readings are not discussed below. I've included hyperlinks to expand upon lectures and the assigned readings; with an emphasis on resources with informative visual aids.
