Criterion (plural) : a standard on which a judgment or decision may be based

“Part 3: Develop a list of criteria you will argue  and should be used to evaluate whether a monument should remain in place or be removed.”

 

I ran into this word in the project #2 monument Surveying. As I was reading this I ran into the word I’m a little embarrassed to admit I always used context clues to figure out the meaning. what I originally thought the word meant was a set of category’s from your choosing. now that I’ve finally looked up what the word meant i can have a clearer understanding of the word.

I found this word in the Ellen Lupton article labeled “Why Collaborate?” 

“I have been a museum curator for nearly fifteen years, so I am familiar with both the pleasures and pains of collaborating. “ 

When I first came across this word I found myself stumped I had not heard this word before, even trying to use context clues I could not figure out the meaning, I decided to take to the internet to expand my vocabulary and now seeing what the word means. the sentence now makes a lot more sense now fully understanding the context. showing that Ellen Lupton is experienced with collaborating for the reason of her employment of being a curator.
