Some but not all of the insect orders not covered on the main insect lecture outlines

You should read or skim each of the links and look at the photos to get a sense of what these orders are all about and what they look like. I will expect you to know these orders (including the basics of how and where they live, and their appearance), but for these orders common names will suffice unless we end up discussing them further in lab.
