Tips & Tricks

Noun and verb should be the last resort definition type used. 

Ask the following questions:
Can I.... 

  1. examine this?
  2. interview this?
  3. observe this?
  4. test this?

If you answered yes to any of these questions the term is a UCF element.
If you answered no to all of these questions the term is either a noun or a verb.

Below is a table of the elements that correspond to each question.
