Counterintuitive Fall 2022 
Masking details and word choice can easily change point of view or create an ambiguous meaning. I’ve noticed most people do this when they want to make a point or set out an argument with a hidden underlying truth behind what is used to try to create the point that actually contradicts or could create a negative view than intended…
The story of the island was great.
The story really showed how silly people are about money, and how money can alter things or control people. People don’t really own money. Bills are just a representation of the “money” we have. But yet money manipulates the world.
Creating a successful summary is a blend of getting a point across and using the right amount of summarizing. “The Whole Bird” type of summary.
Never use the second person language.
A better choice is “we.” It sounds less direct or demanding.
Using a passive instead of an advice to help avoid gender, and number.
The start simple post reminds me of when I code! I’m a computer science major and have been coding for quite some time, and the hardest part…. is getting started.
More cows and chips.
That makes perfect sense, Stephen. I hope that lesson will be memorable for you.
REMINDER TO SELF:
-Sign up for a professor conference(s)
-Think about which counterintuitive topic to choose…(help)
Coffee Filter demo: Even though water could get filtered through air could not get out. I’m not sure how liquids work, but I know that liquids provide a force or pressure on submerged objects. I think the reason the air cannot escape is because the submerged air is trapped inside, because of water pressure from being submerged.
I feel like as long as there are human judges, Olympic judging will always have a problem.
I remember the trackstar girl from UPENN that killed herself.
Water pressure on the trapped air is a good explanation, Stephen.
The good news about the Olympics is that favoritism is nonexistent among judges in events such as the ski jump, which recruit their judges on the basis of their expertise, not their nationality. Figure skating needs to get its act together.
Let’s send him our question. He hasn’t answered it here, but he’s certainly on the right track.
A reader(s) who are inclined to agree with us:
– wants reassurance
Leaving the decision to a child for assisted suicide is VERY sticky. There’s too many points that go each way that are very valuable. Something could be worked out, but it still would never seem right.
Three models of argument: Classic, Toulmin, and Rogerian.
– Aristotle made claims to his audience’s logos, pathos, and ethos. (Reason, emotions, and ethics/character/authority)
– Toulmin made claims, supported with grounds, based on warrants, that rest of backing.
– Rogers found common ground, and solved shared problems, by examining differences of opinion, comparing solutions, limitations, and offered ways to resolve differences.
Claims are assertions open to challenge.
Your paper is the calm voice in the room.
Categorical, Definitional, Consequential, Resemblance, Evaluation, and Proposal claims.
Look at actuarial tables and records. Also look at insurance policies, to see what is offered and what actually happens.
-Actual accidental deaths
-Coverage for accidental deaths…. worth it, types of premiums, age
I forgot to mention, while I was at the TCNJ hackathon, once again, the hardest part of my team’s project was after getting started. (Remembering the post you had about a programmer making a program)…. And after 8 hours (out of the 24) of trying to get started, and finally starting, a Twitter representative came over and shut my group down 😦
My group ended up resigning halfway through because our other ideas weren’t time permitting, or were stolen by other groups. But at least I got a free T-shirt and left some at least some more knowledge of other companies’ API’s. 😀
The best way to start is to start, not to plan to start, Stephen. Sitting for an hour at a keyboard accomplishes nothing, even if a great idea occurs while you’re doing it. That same idea, or a better one, is much more likely to occur while you’re typing the first thing that comes into your head, then questioning that, then typing a response to your question, until you accidentally stumble on your own genius.
The coin flip…
After it lands on a side so many times, you lean towards the other side.
Regardless, the flip is always a 50/50 chance. But landing on the same side in a row is a 50% * 50% * (number of times landed on the same side) chance, etc, so you’d lean towards the other side.
Self Notes:
-Scheduled meeting for next R
-Try to write paragraphs in one sentence. (3 part)
P.S. I like your funeral idea lol
Self Reminders:
-Conference Thursday 2:40
-A08
Definitions are arguments. Many define terms in different ways.
Defining rape is difficult. There’s so many factors to defining terms, and terms can be interpreted in many different ways.
Attended professor conference. Magic beans.
Hi mom.
Drone attack claims.
Beans is good. As hard as you work on your essays, Stephen, I still feel I have useful guidance to offer. I hope you’ll let me know if that ever stops being the case.
Readers can bail at any word.
Looked at first sentences of paragraphs/essays.
Hi mom.
Removing if/then sentences.
Self Reminder:
2:50 Appointment Thursday after Spring Break.
There is no final exam.
Looked at Advertising Failure.
THERE IS NO FINAL EXAM.
Looked at types of casual arguments.
Liked the feedback about my topic, however unsure of how to approach How to Live Forever.
My friend slipped in his shower over spring break. The grab bar stopped him from banging his head.
Came for professor conference at 2:50 but no one was here… And after you arrived the door was still closed, so the class thought you weren’t here yet.
Note to self: Thursday April 3, 2:50 Professor Conference
Looked at Google Scholars.
Looked at paragraph examples of material.
Looked at assertion and denial.
Looked at works cited.
Looked at the titles of our posts.
Exercises on fellow classmates’ posts.
Argument of Tues vs Thurs
Look at Black and White beats gray
Not exactly sure of what are “opposites” of my argument/thesis.
Looked at the 3 visual arguments.
The most manipulative was the third one, because of the way the people spoke and interacted. But I think the easiest visual argument was the first or second, because they were a lot more visual than the third. The third relied a lot on what was being said.
Looked at the visual arguments.
I think the best way to look at visual arguments is to watch it once, to get an idea of the clip. Then, read the analysis or think it through, followed by a re-watch to look deeper at what was said or mentioned.
Not sure how I should put together my portfolio and what to leave behind… I just want to have improved over this semester and still earn a good grade.
Reminder to self:
A13!!!!!
The 10 sources are the other sources that were looked at but not necessarily quoted or cited in the actual paper. (consulted during the process)
So the 8 sources I used in my actual paper are not on the bibliography… It’s 10 different ones?
….Right?
No. If you used 8 sources in your Research Argument, you need only two more sources for your Annotated Bibliography. The AB is a record of your 10 best sources, whether you cited them in your final paper or not. —DSH
Thank you!
Re-looked at visual arguments.
I enjoyed the Thai life insurance commercial. Although there was the meaning of the missing father in the visual argument, it made me want to buy life insurance more from “good feels.”
Note to self: A15 Reflective Statement
On my grade sheet, my causal essay had no grade, even though I had received feedback on it multiple times.
Also, my rebuttal never got feedback when I had requested it on April 10th.
Looked at punctuations.
Let’s eat grandpa.
Let’s eat, grandpa.
Dropping by to say hello! I forgot how to find your other page of short essays, but I hope your summer is going by smoothly. Do anything out of the ordinary? Anything planned?
Thanks, Stephen. Running Farmers’ Markets in Collingswood, Voorhees, and Pemberton. Planning just one short trip to Amsterdam to visit friends in August. How are you?
