MON FEB 9:

*Give 24 hour notice for conference, required at least 3 times, make appoitment on counterintuitive website

WED FEB 11:

*Analyzed ads

*It’s more useful to find opposite sources for a controversial topic and then adding something unique to that. The audience doesn’t want to read 20 of the same opinions, make the paper more diverse. “Why do you believe what you believe?” Opportunity to re-think. It’s a bad idea to form a thesis before you start, because it’s better to investigate a topic first. It’s a working progress. A paragraph or two may seem polished, however its a working project. Therefore, you should have more material then you need so you don’t have to fill a paper with nonsense.

*Instead of collecting a bunch of sources, find a single source and go to your paper and start talking about it. Free write, it’s just a draft. “Thinking about sources doesn’t exist”

MON FEB 16:

*Topics can still be counterintuitive if you view the topic differently.

*A good idea is to save introduction for last, since it’s challenging. Instead of writing vague things, start with more meaningful information. Start knowing what you already accomplished.

MON MARCH 23: 

*The coffee filter traps air when it’s wet, that’s why the filter is able to keep the water inside when it’s submerged under water.

WED MARCH 25:

The most important idea about rebuttal which I learned was to not say someone’s argument is invalid without stating reasons why. Don’t say “I don’t agree. I need more information,” if you were given information in someone’s argument, use that information and then form your own take on it.
