Without knowing what bones were covered in your class, I'll include the bones that I cover in the classes that I teach.

Frontal - forehead, eyebrow, upper eyesockets

Parietal - two of them, top of the head

Occipital - back of the head

Temporal - sides of the head, including the mastoid processes and zygomatic arches

Zygomatic - cheek bones

Sphenoid - back of the nose, behind the eyes

Maxilla - upper lip, mustache

Madible - lower jaw

Vomer - inside the nose, also referred to as the septum

Nasal - top of the nose

Lacrimal - inside the eye sockets, proximal to the nose

I believe that's all of the bones of the skull.
