Assignment: Definitions

Directions for Definitions:

This is your opportunity to reflect on what you have learned from this class, to add your own examples and explanations, and to connect these to issues that are meaningful in your life. Using your own words and examples helps with long-term retention of information, making the material in our course more accessible to you for years to come (Hopkins, et al. 2016).

Source: Hopkins, R. F., Lyle, K. B., Hieb, J. L., & Ralston, P. A. (2016). Spaced retrieval practice increases college students' short-and long-term retention of mathematics knowledge. Educational Psychology Review, 28, 853-873.

Ideally, you would completely write out your definitions in advance. However, because there are so many terms, while studying it is enough to write down a quick definition in your own words, list your example, your contrast, and where we define the term in class (which reading or lecture). Then during the midterm, you can use your notes to compose a full definition with complete sentences and full citations.

To define a term:

1. Explain what it means in your own words.

2. Give your own original example.

3. Provide a contrast (that is, give your own example of something that the term does not mean).

Use complete sentences.

1. Does the definition give enough information so that someone who has never heard the term before will be able to understand it accurately based on this definition?

2. Does the definition demonstrate that the student fully and accurately understands the definition, for instance by including the student's own wording and own original examples?

3. Does the answer incorporate the nuances of each concept, as we discussed in detail during the discussions and as explored in the instructor's reflections at the end of each Module?

4. Answers will be graded for clarity, conciseness, completeness, accuracy, and proper citing of sources.
