Review Instructions

Please review this concept list carefully before proceeding to the next step:

  1. Check for missing concepts - Are there important topics from the course that aren't represented?
  2. Check for duplicates - Are any concepts essentially the same thing with different names?
  3. Check label length - All labels should be 32 characters or fewer
  4. Check clarity - Are all concept labels clear and unambiguous?
  5. Check relevance - Do all concepts belong in this course?

It is much easier to add or remove concepts now than after the dependency graph is created.
