Definition: (Gerson & Gerson, pp. 68-69)


    Select a term from your field.

    Write an extended definition for a first-year student in the field. For this 

    portion of the assignment, use at least one outside reference and cite the 

    reference appropriately. Use APA (American Psychological Association) 

    parenthetical references (in-text citations) for citing within the text of your 

    response. Use the APA References (bibliography) examples for the end of the 

    piece (Gerson & Gerson pp. 456-461). 

    Be careful about letting Microsoft Word do your citations, sometimes it does 

    them incorrectly.

    List the types of expansion techniques you used (minimum of two different 

    techniques for each expansion).

    Write an extended definition for a layperson. For this portion of the 

    assignment, use at least one outside reference and cite the reference 

    appropriately (both within the document and on the citation page). Please use a 

    standard source, not Wikipedia. Some of the best sources are industry or 

    academic associations that deal with the topic.

    List the types of expansion techniques you used (minimum of two different 

    techniques for each expansion). In addition, give a summary explanation of your 

    changes (not a summary of the definition). A summary explanation will include 

    what you changed from one definition to the other and why you changed it.

    Refer to Module 2.

    Be careful about saying things like: The dictionary definition of… Or, Webster’

    s definition of…. That’s too easy. In addition, there are many Webster’s 

    dictionaries, and if you ever use one, must identify it specifically: the 

    Merriam-Webster New Collegiate Dictionary, Webster’s II New Riverside 

    Dictionary, Encyclopedia Britannica Online, etc.

    Note: This assignment becomes “locked” (you can’t submit it) after Nov. 16, 

    2013. Assignments submitted after the due date but before Nov. 18 will have 

    points deducted. If you have any questions about it, please e-mail me long 

    before it’s due–not just a few hours ahead of the deadline.
