backwards.
The first one is ADDING electrons.
The second one is LOSING electrons.
Cu2+ + 2e- -> Cu Oxidation reaction
Cu -> Cu2+ + 2e Reduction Reaction
Do I have these right, or are they backwards?

Acronym ...
O = Oxidation
I = is
L = Loss (of electrons) A => A^+ + e^-
R = Reduction
I = is
G = Gain (of electrons) B + e^- => B^-
