 If you've talked to any alum or near-alum of Turing, one thing they likely shared is "Turing teaches you how to learn". For creators of tech, the learning never ends. Not after graduating a program, not after 20 years of experience. We will provide more support as you are starting out, then release some of that support so you are equipped to learn on your own once you graduate. While we provide more support at the beginning, we also intentionally support you in building skills and habits that will help you do that successfully.
 
-One of those pieces is in how developers approach vocabulary. Knowing technical vocabulary will allow you to get more out of reading doucmentation and tutorials, and will allow you to communicate well with teams and ask good questions when you need help. Each section of your pre-work (and each lesson once you start Mod 1) will start with a vocabulary section. We don't always give you the definitions - this is intentional. You will create your own definition after having several opportunities to read definitions and see examples.
-
 Here's what we ask you do:
 - Find a special spot in your notebook for vocabulary and JavaScript reserved keywords. Mark it with a post-it or bookmark, so it's easy to find and come back to
 - When you start a new section of pre-work, write down each term. Leave plenty of space for (future) notes
