Week 2 Assignment 2

Week 2 Extended Definition

Students are encouraged to work in teams, groups, or with partners to exchange ideas and information geared to helping everyone to achieve the highest outcomes. But all work ultimately submitted for a grade will be the individual student's own best work.

Choose a technical term in your major and write an extended definition for a targeted audience, such as a new employee or a client. Your definition should be designed to fulfill a particular purpose for your targeted audience. Carefully review the information in Chapter 6 of your text for guidelines on writing your definition and refer to pages 151–152 for a sample extended definition. Your definition should be double spaced and approximately three to four paragraphs.

An effective definition will meet the following criteria.

• Begin with a formal sentence definition that includes the term being defined, the category to which the term belongs, and the distinguishing characteristics that differentiate it from other terms in the same category.
• Extend that definition through description, example, analogy, or other definition techniques described in Chapter 6 of your text.
• If you consult a source or sources, be sure to paraphrase the material and follow APA guidelines to document your sources appropriately.
• If you believe an illustration or graphic is necessary, be sure to label and cite it appropriately. You may find it helpful to review Chapter 14.
• Use the following file-naming convention: YourLastName_Week2_definition.docx and submit your assignment.
