This Charles guy is a lousy person.

Is Hodges a basketball fan? he seems to know his stuff..

When searching for causes, make sure to find the actual cause of something, and not correlation’s

MON MAR 30

I said all four cards needed to be flipped.  Only cards A and D needs to be flipped. Makes sense when I think of it.

Couldn’t fight off the nods, sorry..

50 claims might be a bit to many for this exercise… annoyingly long

WED FEB 25

Todays music choice was strange… Very “arabian nights”.

Use the opposing view of your topic and use it to strengthen the argument. Take what the people that support the view contrary to yours and point out what is wrong about it and why your side is right.

use Wikipedia sources to generate sources. Also use the rowan library sight.

MON MAR 23

welp, Spring break is over =/

Coffe Filter Riddle– Magic??? Sorcery?? NO!! it was the strength of surface tension of the water that held back even the strongest attempts by the weaker oxygen to break through the trap of the coffee filter.  BUT, the oxygen was able to out smart the water by drying the filter, thus eliminating the power of the surface tension. And yet again the city of metropolis is safe, thanks to the wits and smarts of oxygen.

American livestock raising is an UGLY business (learned about it in high school)… but an oh so delicious business…

MON MAR 9

I was in class today

When writing a paper, start with a conclusion, this will set the pace for the essay. Then go to the body, and aim to write the body with the set conclusion in mind. When all that is done, then write the open.

An argument cannot be won in the first sentence, but it can be lost.

WED MAR 4

Love me some southing piano.

Not much to take notes on today.. Mainly working on the assignment

MON MAR 2

Per my usual “Change of the month” habits, I typed out FEB in my date heading before realizing that is was now March.

Prof. David got pizza for the class.. Coolest professor ever?? Possibly.

Thanks again for the pizza, it hit the spot =)

WED FEB 25

For some reason my notes from last class, MON FEB 23 has magically disappeared, even though I was here, and did take notes…

Never start a essay with a definition, quickest way to lose someone’s attention.

Rape is surprisingly difficult to define

Is free Wi-fi REALLY free wi-fi??

WED FEB 18

For some reason, listening to the song “All Along the Watchtower” in the beginning of the class got The Rolling Stones “Give me Shelter” stuck in my head.. Dont know why

MON FEB 16

The Chinese are very proud of their censorship, so proud that it makes them want to sing.  And sing they do.

putting the word harvest with the word organs seems like a weird concept. All though I agree with the idea of doing this to death row inmates.

WED FEB 11

I have never not poured a quart of milk over my head

we went through a very in-depth look at a PSA for stroke awareness, which was very useful for our moving visual essays.

it can be useful to use a source that goes against our beliefs because you can use it to strengthen our argument.

Mon Feb 9

Did not see Professor David being a System of a down fan…

Always take credit for the work we do!

The university of Vancouver have eliminated gender biased pronouns, like him and her.

Use His or her to get rid of the use of the word their to describe one person.

WED FEB 4

we were given examples of what writing looks like at each grade level.

professor Dave got coffee for students, cool dude

introduce a summery with the statement “it seems counterintuitive…” to introduce a counterintuitive idea.

Remember to open My Notes everyday in class.. It will be used as attendance When you finish writing you first draft, you must immediately get rid of the 2-3 best sentences in that draft, because they are the ones restricting you’re best writing.. Remember, the first draft is always ALWAYS pure crap. Yap is an island of Micronesia, near Germany, where the people of Yap lived. their money was giant circular stones, about the size of a man, that were called fay.  The people of Yap had to travel many miles and had to do a lot of work to get these giant stones. The large amount of work it took to obtain these fay is what gave it their value.  The value of the fay were based on the size cut and “shinyness” of the fay. The germans instructed the people of Yap to improve the streets or Yap.  After years of doing nothing, The germans came up with an idea to paint big X’s on the Yap’s fay. this made the people of Yap feel poor, and fixed the streets.  After this was done, the germans erased the X’s and the Yaps felt wealthy again.

Mon Feb 2.

We started the day with the Foo Fighters, great start.

try to avoid the use of the word “you” and other forms of the word, your you’re etc.

throat clearing:  the perceived need to prepare readers for the point that is about to be made.

never use ‘I believe’ or state that something is you opinion, its obvious that an essays is the opinion iof those who wrote it.

there is no need to summaries an entire work or chapter in ones own work, just use the part that makes sense to the point we are trying to make
