These glossary entries really helped a lot. By having to define the words and also explain the meaning of them helped me to get a better understanding of them more. If it wasn’t for these guidelines I would have just looked up the word and not think about it as much as I should have. Also by having my classmates post their entries benefited me a lot. When I go through the Ways Of Seeing site, I see the vocabulary my classmates post from readings. And when I go to read the readings, the words I don’t understand are already defined and explained thanks to my classmates.
