Revised Definitions AssignmentsÂ
This assignment aims to use the three types of definitions, a parenthetical definition, a sentence definition and an expanded definition, to explain a term for people who do not have any background in the field. I chose the term “deductible.”

Revised Peer Review of a Formal Report
Peer review is my favourite section. Peer-reviewing allows me to see my shorts and improve on others’ works. In this section, I reviewed Dhara’s work on Analyzing Feasible Solutions for Successful Paperless Transition in CPSC 121. I am inspired by the scale that she discovers. By peer reviewing, I also learned that structuring the formal report is important to help the audience to catch the point.

Follwoing with feasible solutions to help creating more diverse and welcome environment.
