• This summary highlights what material is and is not testable. Many questions may rely on you understanding and applying this knowledge; it is not sufficient to memorize this list, you must be able to use the material. Some items may have been specifically mentioned in class as being testable and may not be mentioned here. Most topics listed refer to the slide headings. "Know" means have memorized. "Know the days of the week" means have memorized Monday, Tuesday, ...; and "understand" each of them. You do not need to memorize explanations word-for-word; you should know in your own words. "Understand" means: once told the topic (or items), be able to talk about it/them. "Understand all flavours of ice-cream" means given a flavour (say chocolate mint chip), be able to describe it; compare (similarities) and contrast (differences) it to other flavours. But, don't memorize all the flavour names (not asked "List all 31 flavours"). The test will focus on material from lecture, but there will be some on Android development and tools.
