Week 7 - Second Vocabulary Installment


Reminder!!!!

Every two weeks you are expected to create a five word vocabulary post. You should have posted your first vocabulary post during the fifth week (Feb. 23rd-26th) and your second vocabulary post during the seventh week (April 6th-9th).

Catch up if you are falling behind. A good strategy is to talk with your mentor about the assignment and let him or her know that you are interested in learning more "work lingo".
