Counterintuitive 
We learned how to take notes on WordPress by simply leaving thoughts in then”Leave a Reply” field.
Got in groups to discuss the Island of Stone Money topic.
Went into detail about how the blog set up certain features on the blog
Had class discussion on the topic of money
First of all, nick, today is for learning; there will be no permanent grade for this exercise, just advice I hope will be helpful.
—What you’ve written here is a report about What Happened. What it should be is a record of What I Learned.
—I’ll be making a similar distinction soon about the difference between What the Author Talked About, and What the Author Claimed.
—WHAT THE AUTHOR TALKED ABOUT: The Author made several observations about the effect on the environment of burning huge amounts of fossil fuel. (This summary wastes 18 words telling us nothing.)
—WHAT THE AUTHOR CLAIMED: The Author blamed the continuing irresponsible burning of fossil fuel for the catastrophic rise in the temperature of the globe. (This summary tells us in 20 words what argument the Author made.)
Your Note: Got in groups to discuss the Island of Stone Money topic.
Sample What I Learned: Realized the importance of studying the source materials when they’re assigned, before coming to class. Found out some of my classmates are well prepared.
Your Note: Went into detail about how the blog set up certain features on the blog.
Sample What I Learned: Discovered that when I publish, I need to put my posts into categories (my Username, the name of the assignment).
Your Note: Had class discussion on the topic of money.
Sample What I Learned: Instructor expects us to interact with the source material, not just summarize or cite it. “As much a thinking course as a writing course.”
Again, nick, today’s notes are just an exercise and your sample grade will not be recorded.
Grade 1 (for attending) out of a possible 3 (for exemplary notes).

a good rule for writing well: have strong, complex ideas and express them simply in writing.
First of all, bagels, today is for learning; there will be no permanent grade for this exercise, just advice I hope will be helpful.
I appreciate that you reacted when I said “Fingers on keyboards!” What you recorded is an important note. But I won’t always instruct you when to record what turns out to be important, and what’s crucial to you might not be helpful to everyone (or vice versa).
Note-taking is essential, not only to help you remember what you heard and did, but to fully engage you in the material. We don’t begin to own what we hear until we record it in our own words or communicate it to someone else.

I notice that you posted three Replies, which is a perfectly reasonable approach. If you want to help me in future, you could start each Reply with a little note: Reply 1, Reply 2, Reply 3, etc., to alert me to look for more.
Your combined 3 Replies add up to more than the minimum reaction to the material of the day, fall short of exemplary note-taking. Scan the rest of the Replies if you want to see how yours rank.
So again, kingoflizards, today’s notes are just an exercise and your sample grade will not be recorded.
Grade 2 (for attending and being attentive) out of a possible 3 (for exemplary notes).

(I won’t be leaving reactions to your second or third Replies.)
I know that I was not supposed to take multiple notes specifically, but I just thought I would write something every time I thought it would be important. I think a grade of 2 is reasonable. Thank you for being so attentive and responsive to us!
Your technique is fine, king. I’ll find your multiple replies if you want to continue them. Keep up the good work.
To write well one must have complex ideas that are easily expressed.

To improve ones thinking is to improve ones writing.
Sorry, couldn’t resist. This is both important and trivial:
To improve ONE’S thinking is to improve ONE’S writing.
(Both are singular possessive. Launch the Fails For Grammar page for Possessives from the Grammar Menu. Let me know if it’s helpful or needs to be expanded. They’re all under review for completeness.)

This was very helpful. I’ll try not to make this mistake again. Thanks!
Great.

Now let’s look at your sentence:
A good rule for writing is having and good complex idea and a simple brief explanation of the idea.
“Having a good, complex idea” is useless.
“Having a simple brief explanation” is useless.
What has value is expressing the complex idea.
So, if you’re going to record just one sentence from an entire class, roman, make that sentence sing. Use the most robust and direct verb you can find to express a powerful action:
The first rule of good writing is to simply and briefly express a complex idea.
Do you see what I’m suggesting? Reply, please.

Have a good idea founded in good logic. Express it simply.
The FED controls how much money is circulated which controls inflation. The amount of bitcoins in circulation is controlled by its users. This is why the value of bitcoin can vary so much and is less trusted.

But you did a bit more than that. You paraphrased the “lesson” in simple, direct language. And you added a note that indicates you were engaging with and processing the “subject matter” of the class discussion.
So again, johnsanchez, today’s notes are just an exercise and your sample grade will not be recorded. But you did more than the minimum (not much more, but enough for today). Competition for 2s will make them harder to achieve as the semester progresses. I’ve found your additional Reply further down the page. It solidifies your claim to a 2.

A good rule for writing well is having a strong base of an idea and express it as simply as you can.
So basically you can have a complex idea but you should simplify it as much as you can. A good thing to focus on while writing is to keep things simple and clear so the reader is not confused.

Now let’s talk about your sentence:
Pronouns are a bitch. They will create endless trouble for you until you learn to avoid them whenever possible. You DO NOT NEED A PERSON to make your claim here, so let’s keep ONE out of it.
Better thinking makes for better writing.
It results in more complex ideas.
They can be simply expressed.
Again, leaving people out of it: The best writing expresses complex ideas simply.
If you must use people, choose whether to use one or several.
PLURAL ALL THE WAY: The best writers express complex ideas simply.
SINGULAR ALL THE WAY: A good thinker can write well if he expresses his ideas simply.
Your version ILLEGALLY mixed singulars and plurals (the sort or mistake that triggers FFG).
To improve one’s thought (ONE’S thought is singular) improves on their writing skills (THEIR writing skills is plural) helping them (Plural again) create complex ideas which can be expressed easier.

We learned about the Yap and how they used currency and how it was very similar to the American’s way of managing gold. We also talked about Brazil’s inflation and how they made up a currency out of nothing.
First of all, chippy, today is for learning; there will be no permanent grade for this exercise, just advice I hope will be helpful.

Your Note: We learned about the Yap and how they used currency and how it was very similar to the American’s way of managing gold.
Sample What I Learned: We learned that the Yap don’t have to take physical possession of their currency in order to spend it. That seemed odd, but Americans don’t get paid in dollar bills and don’t pay their bills in currency either, so our customs are similar.
Your Note: We also talked about Brazil’s inflation and how they made up a currency out of nothing.
Sample What I Learned: We learned that Brazil’s new currency has value only because its users trust it. That seems to be a common characteristic of all currency: it’s a fiction that everybody believes.

Complex Ideas, simply expressed = meaning of good writing (academic writing)
Persuading people without even knowing they’re being persuades. Having better ideas = better papers. Simple, clear, brief, explanations of complicated ideas.

Your first sentence is a quote.
Your second is how I distinguished creative writing from academic writing (except for the very talented who can be creative and academic simultaneously; please be that writer).
Your third should be your mantra.
Your fourth is a paraphrase of the first.

-bitcoins are used online and stored in a computers hard drive. They are not traceable.
-many people use bitcoins for drugs deals online
-bitcoins can only be used online
-lots of people are wary to use bitcoins do to their association with illegal activity
-they are able to pass through banks and other computers without a trace
-bitcoin users can only be cashed out if other people want to purchase your bitcoins with real money
-what something is worth is determined on what people are willing to pay for it and how much money is printed
-this system will only work for as long as people are willing to go along with it
-on the island of yap they use stones for money
-their medium of money is called “fei”
-these stones can be extremely large and are cut down to create money
-in Japan the bank has agreed to double their inflation levels
-they want to pump more money into the economy
-this measure is known as quantitative easing and Japan is using it to attempt to get out of their recession
-the value of yen continues to go down and has been going down since the year 2000
-the “economy” in the United States was created because of the Great Depression
-no one used to calculate their GDP or worry about finances for the country as a whole until the great depression
-GDP is the value of goods and resources produced in a year
-in order to get help from the world bank or to get the help of other nations a country needs to know their GDP
-then national debt of the USA is over 14 trillion dollars
Chance, you’ve clearly “done your homework.” The question I have is whether these notes came from your classroom experience, or whether you made them while doing your background reading, but either way, I want to acknowledge your engagement with the material. The criteria for what constitutes good class notes will evolve through the semester, of course, but for today, these are convincing evidence that you have come to class prepared and paid attention to the subject matter. Your notes about the US “economy” appear to come from a reading I didn’t even mention until today and never discussed in class. You won’t need to pad your class notes with observations about outside material if you continue to record your material reactions to what goes on in class.

Required Sources :Island of Stone Money, Lie that Saved Brazil, and Weekend at Bernankes
Brazil’s inflation was so extreme that any money would need to be exchanged for goods as fast as possible before it lost value.
Good note. In future, your observations will move beyond this one, which could come from the podcast alone, to record conclusions drawn in class that synthesize or expand on the source material.
Writing well is having brilliant ideas and sampling expressing them. Academic writing is having the readers on their toes and guessing. Money is worth how much the government is making. Money is backed by the peoples belief, once the persons belief is gone the system goes downhill.

I may have confused you, but the second sentence describes what I said about creative writing. You said:
1. How much money the government prints does have some effect on its buying power, but more fundamentally, money is worth whatever it buys.
2. You’re so right. The underlying value of money is our faith in it. (Grammar: “the people’s belief”) See Fails for Grammar rules.
3. Also completely correct, except that one person wouldn’t matter. You mean “the people’s belief” again. See Fails for Grammar rules.
So again, moana, today’s notes are just an exercise and your sample grade will not be recorded. Yours don’t quite rise to the 2/3 level.

Stone Money
-Money on the island of Yap was a stone system
-The stones were sometimes bigger than cars and hard to transport
-When one person buys from someone else, the stone would remain at the previous owner’s house since they were too heavy to transport
-The size and appearance of stones determines the worth
-Money owned by the government was marked with a black cross on paint
Thinking enhances the writing process. Express your thoughts in clear, brief terms.
First of all, aeks, today is for learning; there will be no permanent grade for this exercise, just advice I hope will be helpful.
When you’ve done your preparation work, you won’t need to use class notes to record the facts of the source material. You’ll have the luxury of notating the insights your classmates offer, or that you conclude for yourself, as we wrestle with the subject matter. What you’ve done here is fine and useful. It shows promise.

I like the practical approach you’ve taken here. It’s full of useful reminders. If you continue to do this and add insights you gained into the craft of writing or the complexities of thinking that constitute good writing, you’ll earn 3s-out-of-3 every time. For now, your notes lack insight. But the practical notes are very strong.

I greatly appreciate the feedback sir! I understand where you are coming from and will be sure to apply this into my next set of notes! Thanks again for your time!
We learned that the key to composing well-written academic essays is to express complex ideas as simply and concisely as possible.
We also learned how to navigate the blog by posting comments, posting our writing, and finding helpful pages and links related to our assignments.
We discussed The Island of Stone Money, the Federal Reserve, and inflation. I learned the benefits of inflation and how wealth does not have to be measured in physical belongings. In fact, it is more often measured through means we cannot see (like the Yap stone at the bottom of the ocean).
We reviewed the proper format and topics of the essay due on Monday.
Rose, this isn’t a 3/3, and it isn’t quite a 2/3, but it’s close.
It has elements of https://rowancomp2.wordpress.com/wp-admin/comment.php?action=editcomment&c=1421
Read that comment, please. You flirt with a “What we Talked About” report, when what you want to provide is a “What I Learned” set of notes.
But you nail that language in other spots: “I learned the benefits of inflation.” And “We learned how to navigate the blog.” You’re almost there. So what’s missing? If you learned the benefits of inflation, you should be able to name one.
Am I picky? You bet. Will I stand and loudly cheer when you take the last small step to truly persuasive language? Oh yeah.
Stick with me, Rose. You show real promise here.

Money isn’t backed by anything. The federal reserve just made up the idea of currency, and if they decide to change it, a wealthy man could become a poor man. There is nothing behind this but belief by the people. If every one stops believing in the system, it won’t work. A good rule for writing, is to have a really good idea and to express them as simply as you can.In a academic essay, you don’t want people to wonder what your up to. Pay attention to fails for grammar.
First of all, greeneggs, today is for learning; there will be no permanent grade for this exercise, just advice I hope will be helpful.
This is presentable work, not exemplary, just barely shy of 2/3, but promising. You make claims. You engage with the subject matter beyond recording the facts of the material.
Almost. It’s supported by our shared faith in the currency. That ain’t nothin’.
Well . . . . They didn’t invent currency. That happened with the trading of the first seashells for grain. And they couldn’t bankrupt an individual wealthy man. But they could crash the system, I guess, in which case everybody’s wealth would disappear.
I’ll go with you there.
Agreed. Pay attention to Fails For Grammar. This little section would fail three times. First for A (singular) good idea . . . THEM. Second for YOU. Third for “YOUR up to.”
Again, greeneggs, today’s exercise has no lasting consequences unless you take to heart that you need some assistance with writing and learn from the experience.

Thank you for the corrections, I will try to fix those flaws. I see the mistake I made regarding tho claim of inventing currency. What should I work on to achieve the goal of exemplary notes, Thank you.
You’re on your way to good notes already, GreenEggs. Just be more thorough and strive for true accuracy. If you find you’re taking a note but uncertain that you understood the point you’re trying to record, ask for clarification. I always appreciate interaction.
Okay, thank you very much for the feedback.

In class today we became more familiar with word press. We also learned that the best way to write well is to have simple, well, and brief ideas. If you keep your essays more to the point with well thought out information, you will more likely receive an A rather than an essay that is dragged out.

Note-taking is essential, not only to help you remember what you heard and did, but to fully engage you in the material. We don’t begin to own what we hear until we record it in our own words or communicate it to someone else.
Essentially, you’ve paraphrased a single concept from a 75-minute class.
So again, starbucks, today’s notes are just an exercise and your sample grade will not be recorded.
Grade 1 (for attending) out of a possible 3 (for exemplary notes).
Reply, please, with your reactions.
