Criteria/Criterion

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

“Part 3: Develop a list of criteria you will argue Ā 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.

Curator

Curator (noun) :Ā one who has the care and superintendence of something;Ā especiallyĀ :one in charge of a museum, zoo, or other place of exhibitĀ Ā

I found this word inĀ theĀ EllenĀ LuptonĀ article labeled “Why Collaborate?”Ā 

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

WhenĀ IĀ first came across this wordĀ IĀ found myself stumpedĀ IĀ had notĀ heardĀ this word before, even trying to use context cluesĀ IĀ could not figure out the meaning,Ā IĀ 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.Ā
