Lenore- Perhaps you should send them a list of the things you have been assigned to do 
for tomorrow and thank them for doing it. :) YES the student is being lazy. But also 
inappropriately familiar, expressing entitlement, immaturity, yada, yada. Gently but 
firmly state to them that they do not learn from work you do for them and that the 
terms are indeed in the text. Wish them luck but under no circumstances would I do 
this for them. Tim

A student just send me this email in regard to preparing vocabulary terms
for a test tomorrow. The odd thing is that all of these terms are listed in
the subject index at the end of the book. Do you think this student is lazy
or just does not know how to operate a textbook? Is it my obligation to look
up these page numbers for the student? I would appreciate any of your quick
replies.

Thanks,

Lenore Frigo

"Dr. Frigo:

Here's the vocabulary words off the list that I couldn't find, or must have

just skipped over in the book. For chapter four, contrast effects, opponent

process theory, perceptual set. Chapter five, nominal fallacy, role playing

of hypnosis, psychoactive. Chapter six, BF Skinner, primary/secondary

reinforcers, behavior modification. If you could tell me the page they're

on, or just the general definition, that would be great. Thank you so much."
