 * Definitions and principles accumulate through the year.**
 * ---After most chapter tests** we will have a Definitions Test (Defcon), asking a random selection of definitions from __**all**__ previous chapters.
 * ---50% (usually 25 questions) are "Write the term"**
 * ---50% (usually 25 questions) are "Write the Def"**

=** !!!---Defs are on Quizlet---!!! **=
 * Since you followed directions on the Devices page, your free Quizlet app is linked to your registered class. **

= For most of us, the defs are a drudgery when we first start learning them. = =Stick with it. It gets better.= =** ---Consider this: ** I'm providing both ** questions ** (the terms) and ** answers ** (the definitions) in advance. You get to earn points over and over again by knowing the same stuff. That gives you great power over your grade and your academic progress. =
 * ---Consider this too: ** There is exactly **one scheduled homework assignment** this year, the Chp3 Family Law project. You have deadlines and you have a clear task. How and when you do the task is largely up to you. Can you count on yourself to do what you need to do without being told? **This is an opportunity to develop your ability to chip away at a task daily on your own initiative, to develop REAL SELF-LEADERSHIP, to find out what sort of person you are (or want to become) when you have ACTUAL RESPONSIBILITY.** Doesn't sound exciting? Well, it is a quality which multiplies your earning power. It can make the difference between flipping burgers and taking your own helicopter to work every day.


 * BTW "Defcon" is the military abbreviation for "Defense Readiness Condition." **
 * It expresses how close we are to nuclear war. **
 * Defcon5 is the lowest level of tension and readiness for war. **
 * Defcon1 is the readiness presently to launch ICBMs, and the expectation of doing so at any moment. Maximum tension. **
 * To the best of my knowledge, there is no connection between this term and knowing the definitions. But it sounds cool. **
 * After Defcon 10, the tension level in class drops lower than the surface tension of beach surf. **

We will try to have a Defcon test after each Chapter test, though we will not always be able to. **At a minimum, there is one Defcon each Quarter.** ---There is a cumulative test in the 1st Quarter on definitions from Chapters 1 and 2. (Defcon2) ---There is a cumulative test in the 2nd Quarter on definitions from Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. (Defcon6) ---There is a cumulative test in the 3rd Quarter on definitions from Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. (Defcon9) ---There is a cumulative test in the 4th Quarter on **__ALL__ 144 definitions (Defcon10). How GROSS!**


 * Here is the list of the terms with their definitions:**

A: There are two sections: "give me the Def" and "give me the term." You **MAY** abbrev. in the "give me the **Def**" section. The Defs themselves often abbrev. You may **NOT** abbrev. in the "give me the **term**" section. A: Whether you complete the test or not, everyone finishes when the ending bell rings. What you leave blank is wrong. A: No. In part, we are learning how to use words carefully to make useful distinctions. Suppose a person can't distinguish between "driver" and "driving." Do you want that person to drive in the neighborhood where your children play? A: Yes, there are some twins. Some are **identical** twins, others are **fraternal** twins. In a Defcon's "give me the **Def**" section, it is not an issue because the **Defs** are clearly different. In a Defcon's "give me the **term**" section, it __**is**__ an issue. Resolve it by indicating which term you are giving me. Give me a clear indication which term you mean. Love (moral virtue) or (moral) or (MRL)... Justice (BHG, aka Friendship) or (BHG)... These don't need an extra clue because the twin terms are different enough. Integration moral theology A: Heck, no! I'm still delighted to teach you! --During one's Junior Year, one's **childhood** is on hospice care and one's **adulthood** has just jumped out an airplane and is desperately searching its pockets for a parachute. Expect to be angry sometimes! --Much like a half-gallon jug of milk, though, we should avoid choosing to keep our anger past its time. --Hard work makes us grow. A few years after high school you will probably look back and say "Why was that so hard? I can learn 144 technical definitions in a weekend now." --Besides, "The Wrath of Defcon" is a good movie.
 * DEFFAQ? **
 * Q: Is it OK to abbrev. on a Defcon? **
 * Q: What if I don't finish? **
 * Q: Some terms sound alike, such as integrity and integration. May we put either one? **
 * Q: What about terms that actually have the same name, such as "love" and "love"? **
 * ---IDENTICAL TWINS **
 * Love (theological virtue) or (theo) or (THL)...**
 * Justice (Cardinal and moral virtue) or (Card/Moral) or (Card)...**
 * ---FRATERNAL TWINS **
 * Integrity (BHG)**
 * morality**
 * Q: If learning the Defs makes me miserable and I feel WRATH towards you, will you regret teaching me? **

--**Direct Intention**: I'm not certain yet what to do about it, but many students make up a (wrong) definition like "doing something on purpose." DI is an action of the intellect, NOT OF THE WILL---there's no DOING yet. "**I PROPOSE** to do this and cause that." DI is pointing one's PR at the proposal and its desired effects. The most common wrong answer was re-writing the question: "Intending something directly." --**Indirect Intention**: Similar to the above, the most common wrong answer was "doing something without knowing/intending it..." In an II, one definitely KNOWS (anticipates) an EFFECT (not part of the Object or the END). This effect is **NOT DESIRED** but suffered or tolerated. The definition is pretty straightforward: "Foreseeing an effect one does not desire but which will flow from the action anyway."
 * //Nota Bene//---Regarding DI and II...(MTH Chp 3)**

--In the past, many students have mixed the three kinds of civil law whenever they see a law question. Notice the **DIFFERENCES**! --ConLaw: **MAKES** the community and **MAKES** the competent authority to care for it --RegLaw: **PROMOTES** harmony, order and peace in the community --CrimLaw: **PROTECTS** the community by outlawing some immoral actions, adding a penalty to them; all criminal law legislates morality
 * //Nota Bene//---Regarding the three kinds of civil law...(MTH Chp3)**

---A rich person isn't necessarily **rational**, and a rational person isn't necessarily **rich. They are not interchangeable. ** --Compare the Def of **IHF** and the Def of **Natural Law**.
 * //Nota Bene//---"Rich" and "rational" are two different words.**
 * ---"Rich participation" and "rational participation" are not interchangeable phrases.**
