Common Limitations or Challenges
This vocabulary list provides terms, but does *not* offer in-depth explanations of the concepts themselves. It’s a starting point for understanding, not a substitute for reading the textbook, attending lectures, or engaging with course content. Further research and contextual learning are still required for a complete grasp of these topics.
