Extended definitions are: ” a more-detailed explanation — usually one or more paragraphs — of an object, process, or idea.”
To complete this assignment, you must do the following:
1. Choose a technical term (medical, scientific, engineering, or technology-related) to define.
2. Begin with a one or two sentence definition like you would find in a dictionary, but this MUST be in your own words. Do NOT plagiarize from another source.
3. Elaborate on the definition using one or more of these techniques:
a. graphics (a picture that illustrates)
b. examples (cued by such words as ‘for example,’ or ‘to illustrate….’)
c. partition (using sub-categories with headings)
d. principle of operation (how it works)
e. comparison or contrast (comparison refers to similarities; contrast refers to differences)
f. analogy (by comparing it with a dissimilar object or process)
g. negation (how it’s not like something else)
h. etymology (word origin)
