Counterintuitive Fall 2022 
The ted talk was interesting because I have not taken physics in college yet but I can agree that science is always changing. This is like what I was arguing in my rebuttal argument that there had been more studies that had been conducted after the statement from the doctor that blue light has no effect.
The zero-G experience looks very interesting but not taking the opportunity to try it would be wrong. But knowing that the plane is going up and down multiple times as I am scared of heights.
The lesson learned when doing feedback is that my writing will never be perfect there will always be something that is just not working well. This is why the art of writing is the best because it keeps you busy.
The self-reflective statements are forms of arguments so there needs to be evidence not only saying what assignment you conducted throughout the semester.
Nice notes, NJ. I’m glad to hear the revision process makes sense to you. (By the way, how does a fear of heights prevent you from taking that ride in a closed plane? Could you even tell you were thousands of feet above the earth?)
3/3
if you have not submitted an assignment, or just did recently, it is too late for feedback.
leave a comment so that prof knows to check it and review the assignment posted.
you will decide on a day to conference on monday when you come in and complete the portfolio check.
make revisions to white paper
dropping your lowest grade from the 75% can have a huge impact on your average’
get yourself organized with what belongs in the portfolio
the best writers do less rewriting after the draft, as opposed to before initial submission. They do revision as they are working
check formatting when you copy into white paper or a post on the blog
All very reasonable!
3/3
Say something unexpected then prove it to be true
No more feedback except for on specific things on the essay, autobiography, and reflection
if things aren’t graded- ask for a grade/regrade
Going through reflections- Need to fix some things. I think it’s funny because I assumed our professor was the audience (e.g. would know about the assignments and things like that) but I now know I have to go back and alter it for the right audience. It’s funny to think that it’s one of the core values to know your audience and I could probably use these notes or my first draft of the reflection as a source for proving that I will adjust to my audience once I know it.
Do that!
3/3
(And yes, I’d be very interested to read your Autobiography. Maybe I’ll assign them next semester.)
talked about feedback
grading protocols
conferences
Let me know if you have any trouble formatting the odd text that came over from wherever you posted it to your Research post, Grizzly.

We began class with “Stephen Hawking Was Wrong” . We were talking about possible openings for essays. And what is the best way to grab your reader’s attention? We all know that Hawking is a very smart man, so what better way to grab their attention than refuting that and saying he is wrong at something. We then began to discuss the final portion of the semester. Posting arguments for the first time, you are too late for feedback. Same for a post you have never posted feedback on. But if you are already engaged in feedback you still can ask specific questions. Also to be sure to leave a reply if you have a missing grade. We are making sure we are getting all our end of semester tasks complete. Also to do our course evaluations and rate my professor.
Good work, Reeses.
You’re never going to snug your periods and commas INSIDE the quotation marks, are you? 🙂
—Was Wrong” .
3/3
-Stephen Hawking was wrong
– use to catch the reader’s attention, follow up with evidence
OK Go inside out and upside down – 21 second verse and 21 second chorus
– white paper
any source you used to gain information
– annotated bibliography
– most useful
– white paper
– only what you cited
You got it. 🙂

Review of End of Semester
Can ask for regrades before final portfolio check/very last would-be final conference.
Current stance of the feedback protocol; currently no more feedback besides if you have already been engaged in feedback conversation
Overall repeat and review everything we went over for portfolio and final questions before Monday.
I do apologize if today felt like a waste of time, Rush. Some of your classmates needed the review, I’m sure.
3/3
Notes – Blue
Saying that Stephen Hawking was wrong is a great attention grabber. It makes the reader want to continue reading.
Planes can go into parabolas, and when they move downwards, there is zero gravity.
Need to begin thinking about how I demonstrated the core values.
It’s actually when they’re at the peak of the curve that weightlessness occurs.
3/3
If you have trouble starting a post then make an utterly exaggerated statement to grab the reader’s attention.
It is too late to request feedback on posts past due. Feedback can be asked on old posts already graded and can still receive feedback.
If your work has been improved since its initial grade then you can ask for a regrade.
The final grading process will begin on Monday, May 2, 2022.
If you are desperate to improve your games after May 2, 2022.
You can drop your least successful paper from your portfolio grade, which will in turn most likely improve your grade.
Provide specific instances when attending to the core values, to further demonstrate your understanding of them.
Very nice. There does seem to be an unfinished sentence here.
If you’re desperate for more time to improve your work, you can schedule your Grade Conference for the last day.

I can never tell how much you absorbed when you copy-and-paste your notes from my notes, Bubba.

The questions in Physics always stay the same, but the answers change. Stephen Hawking was wrong.
Zero gravity seems so fun… until you bump your head… but would that even hurt if you’re weightless?
Relating to the music video, I can’t even begin to imagine how many takes it took in order to have such seamless choreography. Impressive.
Overall, I found breaking down the large research paper into shorter arguments made the material more easily digestible which allowed each argument to be approached and broken down in a more thorough manner.
Is it possible to be too thorough in my bibliography? Is adding too much after one strong sentence ultimately taking away from the work?
Not at all. Your AB is wonderful.
3/3
04/27/2022
Only sources that were quoted in the essay should be in the references section. The White paper should have a combination of all the sources found throughout the semester which is most likely more than the sources used in the references section.
In class, we watched a Zero-G music video which was very interesting to see since I have never seen it before. The video matched the song perfectly. I liked that this video was included in the lecture since it helped wake up the class.
We also talked about the assignments we were given throughout the semester as well as how beneficial the feedback was. In my opinion, the feedback was very helpful but sometimes it was hard to understand.
There is also no more feedback for those who did not ask for feedback before or turn in assignments. There is still room for improvement in the bibliography and reflections. We also decided that those who arrive early for the portfolio verification will get their work graded first compared to those who show up later throughout the class.
To clarify, students who sign up for the EARLIEST GRADE CONFERENCES will have their Portfolios graded first, Cookie. It just stands to reason I’ll want to be ready for the first conference first.
3/3
Next class is not an actual class
Stephen Hawking was give a chance to fly with no gravity
Everybody knows Stephen Hawking is a genius
It’s a great idea too declare him to be wrong
When you say that, it grabs attention
Scientists are wrong because new things keep being discovered
Writing is a science course
Professor Hodges want us to find names for things
Other names for rain is shower, downpour, drizzle
Most rains are forgotten because we don’t name them
If posting for the first time, it’s too late for feedback
If you are already in a feedback conversation, you can continue to receive feedback
Make sure to leave a reply so Professor Hodges can be alerted to its existence
12/8 Class Notes—Last Class
The world is not changing, it is just being rediscovered
Writing is a science
“Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgements of all kinds remain necessary.”
That was an interesting music video. I liked it.
In search of “the name”
Words are more important than memory itself
Continue to seek feedback, but do not expect feedback to anything posted late
Drop a reply to anything newly posted for a grade
Drop a reply to anything that was not posted previously
Always put posts in Feedback Please, regardless if it can be revised or not
Do not sit in the in between—black or white
Class Notes:
The best hypothesis is ones that lead researchers to the hypothesis that is right
A thinking, performance, rewrite, and science course which is what this class is, has three steps
Have a great idea
Express briefly and clearly
Illustrate with specific sensory details
Name something and it’s yours. When you have something, but you can’t seem to explain it, then give it a label.
Knowing your audience is very important. Especially with an argument the key is to know your audience in order to have the best chance of persuading the readers.
Class notes 12/8
This is the last content class. We have one more class on 12/13 that will solely be dedicated to our portfolio. This class can be as quick or as long as we make it. If we arrive early we can meet with professor Hodges early and be out before the end of class.
The best possible hypothesis is one that leads others towards a hypothesis that is a little more right than the one we provided. The more hypothesis we prove wrong the closer we get to finding a true hypothesis.
My favorite quote is “science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.”
Use small phrases or names to condense our work and avoid wordiness.
We can continue revising our paper even after our portfolio is due. If we haven’t asked for feedback yet it is too late. I have done numerous rounds of feedback therefore I am eligible to continue asking for feedback and making revisions.
Saying something like “Stephen Hawking was wrong,” will instantly catch a reader’s attention. Most people assume he was always right because he was such a genius, but in reality, the majority of people are wrong. People do the best with what they have but chances are, in the future when there are technological and scientific advances, somebody else will discover even more. The best answer is the one that is closest to right. If we are able to admit we are wrong, we will do better in proving ourselves to be right. Our real goal should be for future readers to detect our flaws and form an updated, more accurate version of our hypothesis. Following this, the cycle will continue.
This is a thinking, performance, rewriting, and science course. All of these assertions are made for the same reasons, which is that we have great ideas, illustrate them clearly, and then express their details.
Not all name has a name. Most of them are forgotten because of this. Naming them something specific builds sense memory to add language to what we experience. If you write a journal on your trip to Ireland and describe one of the greens you saw as “mint popsicle,” you are more likely to get a detailed memory in your head than if you just said “I saw a lot of greens.”
Where we are changes our perspective about everything. No stars are lined up the same way as they are on our own front porch. Most constellations only appear that way from our location. They have changed greatly from the beginning of time. They only have meaning because of where we are standing. This is a good belief to apply to people, who only agree with us because we share a very limited perspective.
All text is argument. Placing a sign on a bridge such as “No fishing from bridge” is a proposal argument that is more effective when you know your audience. If your audience in this scenario is kids, chances are they will not question your authority.
Assuming we know your opposing view is a waste of time. Usually, what we think is the opposite of our argument is not even really the opposite and when we finally reach an agreement, we end up in a gray area that nobody wants to hear about.
– Embrace that you are right when speaking about things of the past, but acknowledge that you are wrong because there is still a lot left undiscovered.
– Demand your readers’ attention.
– Writing is always a science course. Our work is always changing and with revisions, we are fixing the “wrong” work.
– Value of hypothesis is to provoke the minds of those that are smarter than we are to offer a strong alternative.
– Provoke the next generations of writers so that they can replace “our ridiculousness” with the “ridiculousness.”
– If a hypothesis is proven false, that is still a success as you are eliminating a possible true hypothesis.
– Nature of a research paper is not to know the answers to everything, but to ask the right questions.
– The perception that is created in a small phrase is important in making people agree with you.
– When we name things we are much more likely to internalize them.
– Where we stand changes perspective about everything.
– Pretend to have authority to get what you want in writing.
– “color on color” model is way better than “grey on grey” model.
– The best way to start an assignment is to make an overly exaggerated claim to grab the reader’s attention.
– By coming out and saying Stephen Hawking was wrong is a great way to get the reader to want to continue reading the paper.
– This is a science course just as much as it is a re-writing course. The hypothesis we created at the beginning semester allows us to use the scientific method to prove or disprove our original claim.
– If arguments are posted for the first time, they will not receive feedback.
– If feedback was never requested for previous assignments, none will be given.
– Changes can still be made to assignments until the final meeting.
– The purpose of an argument is not to pick the black or white side; it is to create a new color and give a different stance.
– The opposite of a black sneaker is broccoli as they have no two categories in common.
Class Notes-
Hypothesis are always wrong. The best lead people to something that is a little more true than the one we have.
Writing is always a science course. We start with a hypothesis and incrementally make it better over time. Similar to how the scientific process works.
If we have a good idea express it briefly and clearly
Changing the phrase or naming something can completely change the perception of something. Death tax vs estate tax
you can make a proposal argument stick by choosing the right audience
Thinking you know the opposite point of view is a waste of time. Blending two opposing opinions together to write creates a boring essay.
Grey on grey is bad. Don’t be afraid to say shocking ideas.
-the best hypothesis is wrong and leads the reader to a hypothesis that’s a little more right than what we had.
-A Hypothesis’s ultimate purpose is not to prove something is true but to provoke the minds that are smarter than we are to come up with an alternative that is better.
-Every failed experiment is not a failure but successful in getting closer to a working experiment.
-when you can come up with that phrase that speaks a hundred words then you are effectively communicating.
-naming something makes it less forgettable.
-Once you experience something, you have an easy time remembering it.
-The “Blue Marble” picture blew people’s minds. When we realized how alone the planet sits in space that people began to care.
-We only agree with others because we have a very limited perspective.
-Orion Belt does not exist, and neither does any constellation.
-We can ask for a grade anytime no matter the circumstances.
-If you have a gray hypothesis or gray topic you have wasted your time.
I enjoy the quote by J.R.S. Haldane. His section shows the complexity of how our brain
and thinking process truly works. There’s never a black-and-white answer or a perfect way of finding the answer to a question, but all we can do is try.
That was a pretty cool music video.
Remember, for future writing, name something, and it’s yours. By calling your idea, it will make 50 or 100 words into a few words.
Outrageously think; I feel I did this well in my writing this semester. I started trying to find a middle ground early on, but by the end of the semester, I found a point of view that I hadn’t come across before and ran with it.
Ultimately, we can’t take a black-and-white stance in an argument; true compromise doesn’t come from proceeding in this manner. Yet, our world doesn’t seem to work this way.
Your writing should always start off by grabbing the reader’s attention. If this means be the most exaggerating person ever, then do that
Exaggerating is fun and makes the reader want to keep reading
The more ideas that you have, the better your grade is going to be.
Everything that is written down can be and will be turned into an argument. Even that sentence can be an argument.
“Where we stand changes our perspective on everything”
No more feedback if you are just posting a new assignment, but you can still get feedback if you posted the writing a while ago and you are still working on it.
You have to specify what your goal is so that people can actually be interested. If not, nobody will be interested
Notes:
– Our last class is just a check to see if we have everything for our portfolio. After it’s approved, we can schedule a meeting time to discuss grades.
– The best hypothesis could be wrong, but is closer to right than the one before it.
– Make as bold a claim as possible to start, it will catch a reader’s attention. It is worth it to explain yourself after making the claim.
– Phrasing and terminology can completely change the meaning of a sentence.
– If an assignment has not been graded, put it into feedback please and comment to notify that it needs a grade.
Notes Dec 8
The best hypothesis can be the one that even though it is inevitably wrong leads to a “more right than before” conclusion. Attention-grabbing can begin right in the title.
There wasn’t a box to say which science quote I liked but I liked the second one because I like the contrasting connotation of the words and I also liked the way it chose to convey something we all deal with; the burden of our consciousness.
Naming something correctly and finding the phrase that says a thousand words is amazing and helpful if you can do it. For example the correct naming of an estate tax and a death tax. Obviously, we prefer a tax on rich people than dead people. Finding that perfect phrase to make people adhere to taxes.
Perspective you offer can help draw somones opinion so giving someone a new perspective on something can help your case. Naming new things that also seem to make sense can also help people align with what you are saying.
No point in finding out who you are directly up against in an argument because there are limited options and alternatives who could be in line with you, completely, against, you or somewhere in the middle.
12/8
Start the argument with something outrageous, “Stephen Hawking was wrong.” The answers can change while the questions stay the same. Someone else’s hypothesis can always be incorrect in some way.
This is a science course, a thinking course, a performance course, and a rewriting course.
Try to make a small phrase that can replace 100 words. “Estate tax” turned into “Death Tax” to make people adverse to it. If you name an idea you will own it. Then you can manipulate it to work in favor of your argument. Naming helps the reader remember a idea is even if it is abstract. Constellations only “exist” because of their names. Name a concept to own it.
All text is an argument- No Fishing From Bridge – four words that made an effective proposal argument.
It’s too late for first-time feedback, only the continuation of feedback will be responded to.
Outrageous thinking- the opposite of a black shoe can’t be a white shoe. There’s no line between two ideas or arguments, only a circle. One can always reach back to the other. There is no compromise where both sides win, so don’t have the argument in the first place.
You can still get regrades until the portfolios are graded.
– Grabbing your reader’s attention is key
– Your hypothesis about black holes is always incorrect
– They will never be correct ever
– Wormholes always will be silly nonsense
– This is a science class
– Name something, and it’s yours
– Most rain doesn’t have a name
– 1972 was the first time a picture of the earth was taken from space- Color photography of blue marble
– Completely changed how we look at the world
– If you want to own your concept, you have to name it
– Orion’s belt does not exist
– Once you see the patterns and name them, you have a lot more power
– Keep asking and responding to feedback
– The opposite of a black sneaker wouldn’t be a white sneaker, or even the t-shirt you’re wearing
– Broccoli, however, could be the opposite of a black sneaker
– Worst essay vaguely describes something and comes back with a vague response: Gray on Gray Model
– Regarding can still occur until the time your portfolio is graded
Portfolio double-checks on Tuesday. Final grades start as soon as the portfolio is complete. Check the schedule to know when final edits need to be in.
– Be wise, and have everything turned in final on Tuesday.
Bold claims at the very start grab the audience’s attention right away, and then it’s your job to keep holding it to the end.
Even the smartest and best theories could be wrong, but they’re more true than the last.
This is a science Course
-Thinking
-Performance
-Rewriting
-Science
It costs $8,500 dollars to go on one of those zero-gravity planes for 5 hours.
Language has the power not just to describe our experience, but to create our experience.
When you name something, you remember it that much better. Remembering things visually is so much harder than naming them.
All Text is Argumentative.
Short proposal arguments can work just as well as longer ones.
If I haven’t received a grade on an assignment, drop a reply and ask for one.
If I have improved a post since it was first graded, drop a reply and ask for a regrade.
Thank you for a great semester, I really enjoyed this class!
This is the second to last week of class
good to start an argument when its outrages
can make supper bold claims that can be right or wrong
make sure you get your first sentence and paragraph is read
hypothesis doesn’t have to be prove to be true or not
you learn something if you do or don’t prove your hypothesis
naming helps you remember
if you want own your concept you name it
to be opposite you need something completely opposite
12/8
Einstein was wrong
– No one with an argument is going to be right, right away, you have to provide evidence in order to sway your audience in your direction
This is a science course
– This is a thinking, rewriting, performance and science course, all for the same reasons. It all just depends on how you approach your work.
– My favorite quote from the science article is “science is a sport, and the universe is your playing field”
Invention by naming
– We have the power to not only just describe our experiences, but to recreate them in whatever way you choose to imagine them
– Most experiences we have will blend together, only the prominent memories we DECIDE to remember are the ones that end up most prominent
All text is argument
– Take a sign for example, a sign that says “no fishing from bridge” is a very valid argument, as people can look at that sign, choose to ignore it and fish from the bridge (and possibly face consequences), or they can listen to the argument, and stop fishing from the bridge, either way it is an effective argument
– Orion’s belt doesn’t exist, unless you’re standing on Professor Hodges front porch. Someone just decided that these 9 or 10 stars were “related and connected”
The opposite of a black sneaker
– We don’t want our debates to be black and white, we want to create our own color. When two sides of an argument are concrete, black and white opinions, both sides often meet in some middle ground, and the argument was never really solved
– We don’t want to end up with a compromise, the goal of an argument is to sway the other side to yours
– Look for differences in either side of your argument, and take a position on one of those differences, and refute it. No one wins if you take the side of the compromise.
Grading Process
– Revise all portfolio work this weekend, prepare for the portfolio check next Tuesday
– Portfolio check next class, come in and put your name on the board to schedule a meeting with Professor Hodges
Physicists are always wrong, because what we know keeps changing
We’re not gonna learn everything we need to know to make correct hypothesis about black holes ever
This is a science, performance, thinking, and rewriting course
Estate tax name changed to death tax
Naming things helps you remember them
You can make a very effective proposal argument in just a few words
Things aren’t lines, everything is a circle
Every fail experiment is a success,
If you can’t explain something, try to name that thing and people could help us out.
FInd the name for something, for example rain has a few different names such as shower, drainfall,… but most rain is forgotten because we didn’t name it’.
The world are so much more important than the memories itself.
Thinking about the opposite of your argument is a waste of time. What is the opposite of a black sneaker? A white sneaker? Or a blue one? They are still sneakers, nothing changed, how about comparing them to a ice skating shoe, a sandal, it is still footwear, so thinking about the opposite of something is wasted time.
This is a:
-Thinking course
-Performance course
-Rewriting course
-Science course
Not just describe your opinion, language is everything.
Continue to work on your post if you haven’t revise yet.
College Composition 2
12/08/22
Grab your reader’s attention
Stephen Hawkings was wrong about black holes.
This grabs the reader’s attention because Stephen Hawkings is a very smart guy do not start with he is a smart guy. No, instead attack with your claim as your sword in the first sentence. What grabs the reader’s attention in this is the fact that a smart guy as famous as Stephen Hawking was wrong.
This will hook your reader to the first sentence and start to reel them in.
This is a Science Course
This is a course where you have had to think critically.
This course is scored based upon performance and critical knowledge to connect ideas to form a claim.
This course is all about rewriting and making your writing skills better through various rewrites.
The opposite of a black sneaker
It is not a white sneaker, this is kind of a metaphor for your writing claims.
Your writing claims are either black and white if you use both sides of the view though. This can damage your writing and claims. The example is do not be a gray shoe or complicate your shoe with two opposite sides.
Once you abandon one side the other side wins.
* This is the last class. 😦
* Steven Hawking felt like a prisoner in his own body. The people at http://www.goZeroG.com gave him a chance to experience weightlessness.
* The things in the world don’t change. They may evolve, but they are fundamentally the same.
* The best hypothesis is the one that can lead to something else. The rest are wrong if they don’t really do that.
* Science is always wrong. Science has an almost impossible job. It’s job to explain what it can with the information it has. The answers can keep changing
* We promote the hypotheses on wormholes, for example, because it is the best thing we have right now, until something else can prove to be true later.
* The purpose of writing a paper is to provoke the next generation of writers to rebuke what we say and disprove it in some sense.
* Little phrases and words can say more than an essay sometimes. That is important when writing
* Reminder: If you haven’t been requesting feedback on work from earlier in the semester, its a little bit too late
* Reminder: You can still ask for feedback until the final grading conference
* Gray (in reference to an argument) is satisfiable to no one
