Make sure you are very neat when typing this up. USE COMPLETE SENTENCES and don’t plagiarize. Have the document stapled before you come to class.
Here are two examples of what I hope to see on your term sheets. This is the standard (a grade of “A”) that I will be grading from:
93) Drug Abuse Definition: Drug abuse is the regular use of illegal drugs like cocaine or Meth, and / or the excessive use of legal (prescribed) drugs such as Barbiturates. An example would be someone using cocaine (illegal) or someone taking more Xanax than their doctor prescribed so instead of being relaxed, they slur their words and they are incoherent.
104) Asperger Syndrome: Asperger Syndrome is a milder form of Autism where the individual lacks normal social skills and reacts inappropriately to others in social situations. For example, they are telling you’re a very long story about something that interests them while you are obviously showing signs that you have no interest, you are bored, or you are in a hurry to end the conversation.
(NOTE: Although I’m sure at times I bore you, you are uninterested and you would rather be somewhere else and are showing obvious signs, I DO NOT HAVE ASPERGER SYNDROME. I can tell you are bored and that bothers me – but I will try to become more interesting in my lectures…)
I realize that this is a lot of work, but typing these terms out while you are ‘focused’ is a great learning aid that will dramatically help you learn the material. Earning high grades on the Term Sheets really helps your grade.
