Module+5

Glossary - Computer Science In this module you are going to be working with different texts related to **computers**. Each of you will have to choose one of them and do some work on it. You will have to add to the glossary at least 10 words from the text and 5 extra words that you consider interesting.

Those of you that leave the activity for the "last minute" will probably find that the "good words" are taken. In that case, you can choose the words from different articles, always giving the reference of where you found it.

Please, make sure that you keep the words in alphabetical order and include the title of the article you have taken them from, putting it in brackets, next to the definition. You can find the English definition in this dictionary and the Spanish translation in this one.
