I want a girl with a short skirt and a grad school vocab

So, this week, I learned three words. The first two were dropped in class and one was in my readings. The neat thing about classroom technology: I could bring up dictionary.com right there and then and discover what the words meant. Pretty cool.

Didactic: 1. intended for instruction; instructive: didactic poetry. 2. inclined to teach or lecture others too much: a boring, didactic speaker.

Hagiography: a biography that idealizes or idolizes the person (especially a person who is a saint)

Reify: to convert into or regard as a concrete thing: to reify a concept.
