Be sure to use terms/ concepts from the course (and use them correctly). However, simply writing a definition is not a sufficient answer. Be sure to explain, connect, and apply. Be specific in your answers and use examples whenever possible (for example USE course cases/examples to make your point). Be sure to review/ edit your work before submission.
