Examples of key term in the following topics:
-
Content
- Each Boundless concept (the supporting element of the three-part content module) consists of the full text as well as a one-line "brief," key points, and key terms.
- An concept in turn is constructed of a fixed set of elements: the full text (including any embedded multimedia) as well as multiple forms of summary: a one-line brief, three to six key points, and three to six key terms, all of which are presented in a blue box at the top of the concept page.
- The key terms are the important vocabulary words a student should know after reading a concept.
- All key terms are also programmatically turned into flashcards, which students can practice at any time at the level of the concept, the section, or the chapter to test their comprehension.
- Visible here are the brief, right above the blue box, and then the linked learning objective as well as the key points and key terms.

Student Learning Outcomes
-
Choosing Clear Words and Phrasing
- Choose clear words and phrasing in your speech by fully understanding your topic through delimiting the question and defining key terms.
- When you establish your key terms by defining them for your audience, you set a baseline standard of understanding for your audience, thus eliminating any confusion.
- You'll want to source your definitions appropriately by looking up those key terms from reliable sources.
- Do be careful: you don't want to "dumb down" your speech by defining every single key term throughout your speech.
- Analyze your speech topic until you fully understand the question and key terms

Avoiding Repetitiveness
- Although repeating key terms and phrases brings continuity to your writing, you must avoid being overly repetitive.
- Repeating key terms and phrases brings continuity to your writing.
- If you choose to repeat a key phrase, try to alter the structure of rest of the sentence in order to provide some variety.
- While repetition of key terms and phrases can provide continuity and orient your reader, be sure to also include some variability within this repetition to avoid being overly repetitive or boring.
- Repeat key terms and phrases for continuity in your writing, but avoid becoming repetitive
-
Repeating Key Terms and Phrases
- Repeating key terms and phrases helps readers keep track of your ideas and it will give your writing a sense of flow and continuity.
- Repeating key terms and phrases helps readers keep track of your ideas.
- When using key terms or phrases, be sure to provide a definition or explanation to elaborate on the meaning of the terms.
- By doing so, you not only highlight for your reader that a specific word or phrase is important for your argument but you also give readers an opportunity to clearly understand what the key terms or phrases mean as they are repeated throughout the remainder of your writing.
- Use repetition of key terms and phrases to give your paper a sense of flow and continuity
-
Definitions
- In other words, define your key terms.
- Second, you avoid misunderstandings by settling on a single understanding of the key terms.
- In order to define the key terms, you first have to bluntly state what they are.
- There are often other key terms you want to include, and it's usually worth spending some time thinking about which ones are the key concept.
- Very often, you'll use the work of somebody else to help you define the key terms .

Adding and Subtracting Algebraic Expressions
- Simplifying algebraic expressions may require one to follow some key steps to add and subtract like terms.
- Terms are called like terms if they have the same variables and exponents.
- All constant terms are also like terms.
- Note that terms that share a variable but not an exponent are not like terms.
- When an expression contains more terms, it may be helpful to rearrange the terms so that like terms are together.
-
Sums, Differences, Products, and Quotients
- Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing equations requires one to follow some key steps that can simplify the problem.
- We then collect like terms.
- A monomial equations has one term; a binomial has two terms; a trinomial has three terms.
- Outer ("outside" terms are multiplied—that is, the first term of the first binomial and the second term of the second)
- Inner ("inside" terms are multiplied—second term of the first binomial and first term of the second)

Introduction
- It sounds like a very technical idea, but basic harmonic analysis just means understanding how a chord is related to the key and to the other chords in a piece of music.
- Many standard forms (for example, a "twelve bar blues") follow very specific chord progressions, which are often discussed in terms of harmonic relationships.
- If you understand chord relationships, you can transpose any chord progression you know to any key you like.
- If you are searching for chords to go with a particular melody (in a particular key), it is very helpful to know what chords are most likely in that key, and how they might be likely to progress from one to another.
