KeyTerms, collectively defined

I have added a page on the class wiki: keyterms. As described:

This page will serve a few purposes:

  1. Allow students to identify keyterms and define those terms. Other student can then add to those definitions as they see fit.

  2. Allow students to learn the process of collaborative work in a safe environment (i.e. this won't count for your project grade but can be added for extra credit)

  3. Serve as material that will be covered in the mid term and final (i.e. if the keyterm comes from material up to the mid term, a question will come up in the mid term about this keyterm, so you have a chance to define the mid term and final).

What should you do?

You can either start a keyterm definition or add to another definition. To start a definition simply list the term, in bold, as a header to a paragraph. The paragraph should then explain the keyterm. To add to a definition, simply edit the work that currently exists. If you start a keyterm definition, you are also responsible for monitoring that definition overtime.
