I found this assignment particularly interesting as it encompasses both sides of the peer-review process. I was initially intrigued by the number of different strategies you could employ to define a single term. While writing my first drafts I relied heavily on the examples used within the textbook. Although the textbook’s example was not relevant to my major, I found it simple to adapt those strategies to my term.<\/p>\n

On the reviewer side of the process, it was helpful to review a term that I was very unfamiliar with. As I had no prior experience with the term I was reviewing I was able to remain objective relying solely on the definitions provided to me. I found it relevantly simple to identify the strategies the writer was employing. One concern that my group had though was how many people we had to peer review.<\/p>\n

After obtaining the feedback from my peer it was clear I still have a long way to go before my definitions are perfect. A major aspect I failed to grasp when writing my first draft was to avoid using jargon. As I am mostly interacting with industry participants when discussing the term I defined, I forgot that not everyone has the same technical knowledge. One takeaway from this assignment I learned is the importance of adapting your explanations in different situations.<\/p>\n
