This document lines out the common terms used in the project.
- Course: We use "course" to mean "module", "class". A course here means an offering of a course in a particular semester/term. If the course is offered twice in two semesters (i.e. with different students and teaching team), they are considered two courses. There is, however, no time limit on how long a course may run.
- Contribution scale:
[equal share]+100%
[equal share]+90%
...
[equal share]
[NOT SURE]
[equal share]-10%

[0%] (did nothing at all)
- Enrollment, Enroll (NOT enrolment, enrol).
- Feedback Session: A collection of questions for students and/or instructors alike to answer; synonymous to a questionnaire, a survey.

- Specs: System Specification.
