Create a glossary
A glossary is an A-Z list of words, or key terms, with definitions. Glossaries are useful in helping you to define particular academic terms, unpack unfamiliar ones, and to recognise the language used in your discipline. A glossary can be a digital document, a notebook, or a series of online entries.
For this exercise, begin to establish a glossary to define the terms that are most helpful in understanding your practice and research.
I researched different Glossary versions, but I always came back to the one I know the best, which is in Alphabetical order and explains the meanings of the words in my own words, and what they mean to me.
