If you're so lucky as to be in one of Persall's classes, it would be in your best interest to understand key terms to the absolute best of your ability, as she will frequently ask you to integrate this knowledge into essays and short answers on tests. Memorization will not get you very far. KP is a real one though - maybe the sweetest woman on earth. So, if you need clarification... ask!
