iteration

The cyclic repetition of some process or routine.

situation

The word situation has roots in the Latin, situare, meaning to place or locate. It can also be understood as the act ‘to set down’ or ‘to leave off’ and from this comes the ‘act of setting or positioning’ and the ‘extended sense of a state or condition’. In this course a situation can be thought of as a site where thinking and acting come together because of the particular attention that is given.
