Counterintuitive Fall 2023 
Notes:
-in the first section of the podcast it tasked about the people of Yap who used currency in the form of a large stone structure called “fei”
-The money was transferred from person to person orally. Like she said in the podcast, if i have a fei in a path and someone does something for me to pay them, all i have to do is say that that is now your fei and everyone will know the new owner of it.
-you could buy a house today but tomorrow because of inflation that house may be way out of your price range
-interest rates make the money in your bank account or even in your wallet become less and less valuable over time
-I learned how to use google scholar and how to make searches in the most detailed way possible.
-I created my first hypothesis and realized i have to make it more detailed.
-interest rates make the money in your bank account or even in your wallet become less and less valuable over time
Actually, it’s inflation that does that.

Class Notes:
A Fox Hunt is usually conducted by rich people. Fox Hunters hunt foxes on horse back, while using dogs to help them find a scent of the fox to help them track them down. Fox Hunters also usually wear red for safety processions. The website google scholar is used to help you come up a hypothesis for any paper. Use library databases to access articles. The stone money assignment will be our first essay in this class. Make sure to go back and listen to the podcasts and read the article which is five pages. The 1,000 word essay on stone money is due Sunday September 24th, and your hypotheses is due Sunday September 17th.

-Began with 10 question quiz
– Then went into group discussions(stone money)
– explained what a fox hunt is
– Learned how Google Scholar is a great tool to find articles, etc
-Explains the Stone money essay
-Talk about how Parliament kept their building the exact same after reconstruction when they could have made it better and more modern.
Too much What Happened. Too little What I Learned.

Class notes 9/13
– We began the class discussion in small groups discussing the Stone Money podcasts and what we took away from those podcasts and how well we understood or didn’t understand the questions on the quiz.
– After this Professor Hodges began going over the answers to the morning quiz and going into in depth detail about each answer providing us with a better understanding on the Yap money fei and certain features of different economies such as interest rates, past bank crises, etc.
– We discussed how fox hunts aren’t technically real hunts because they are cheating by bringing a fox to the hunt therefore they really aren’t hunting anything. This was an analogy alluding to our hypotheses. “bring home a pheasant” I believe means to find a hypothesis that isn’t already answered. In a way “hunt” for a hypothesis and not chase around one that people have already proved or disproved.
– We went over the benefits of Google Scholar and how it can immensely benefit us in our research efforts and in constructing an appropriate and proper hypothesis.
– Professor Hodges discussed how we need to seriously narrow down the sources that we are using, even having five hundred sources would be too many. He used an example of fifty sources as an appropriate amount of scholarly articles and sources to pull ideas and citations from.
– It was noted that most reliable sources have references.
STONE MONEY IN CLASS
I noticed in the feedback in terms of the mechanics that the writer did not use enough in text citations and that the writer also had what looks like some run on sentences. I also am guilty of using run on sentences and many many commas in my run on sentences as well.
In terms of the argument section I felt as if the feedback was appropriate for what the writer put forth. I noticed the feedback is requesting more from the writer and to make more relevancy of the points to the argument the writer is making. The feedback also questioned a lot of the legitimacy of what the writer put forth which to me means to make sure I have all of my facts and arguments solidified and fortified before I submit anything.
Very impressed that you’ve included Notes here about your reactions to the Feedback on “Kit Kats for Nerds.”
Grade 4/3 —DSH
. Using a hypothesis that already has been proven is a unnecessary hypothesis finding something new, something you think nobody has ever thought of before it will be a fruitful endeavor.
. If you’re still interested in the topic Instead of just reinforcing a idea that’s been proven look at the issue in a new perspective, try to find a angle that you can get your unique voice into the thought space
. You cant fail a Thesis if you write a paper worth readings with a hypothesis worth hearing out
. Using google Scholar you can use quotation marks and + to get more refined searches when you are looking for that perfect source to bring your paper together
. Instead of paying for papers and academic articles use Rowans database to receive the information for free
. A peer reviewed always shows its sources this leads to a connected web of other sources like finding a ripen fruit on the ground only for you to look up and find a whole bundle of fruit ripe for the picking
Lots of unique observations here, Anonymous.
Grade 4/3 —DSH
– September 24 – 1000 word stone money paper
– Palindrome words and dates -> 03/02/2030 and radar
– Google scholar is very helpful for both sources and Hypothesis.
– quotations on google scholar -> more precise search -> “shared experience” vs shared experience
– It searches the phrase, not the words.
– Adding “+” also helps limit the search results
– Rowan Library database -> do NOT pay for pdfs
– “Stone Money Assignment” first assignment/essay. 2 sources AND NPR broadcast.
– Kit-Kats for Nerds, student written article about turning around Halloween candy for profits.
– Article includes DH reviews, Look at it to see how he likes his writing.
– Zoom conf w/ DH before September 27.
– Parliament redesign after bombings -> they rebuilt the same exact thing after the city was devastated. -> Churchill did not even widen the roads or anything
– use of quotation marks – 4’33” -> feet to inches.
Solid.

I learned a lot about the concept of finding my own hypothesis in class today, and a lot more clarity on what the expectations are from me as a student throughout the semester. Some aspects of the quiz that was discussed in the beginning of the class was fascinating to me because the financial world is what captivates the most. I was exploring for my hypothesis somewhere in the finance and currency area and the “Stone Money” paper will really help me deep dive on finding a hypothesis that I truly believe in and which has not been written about a lot before. My plan to find my hypothesis now is to start writing blank without a purpose and observe where my mind wanders and then narrow it down further to the point I can really make a statement that has not been stated before.
I’m pulling for you, Maxx.
Grade 3/3 —DSH
In groups, we discussed the importance and properties of the Stone Money podcasts and article. The 1000-word essay on the topic of Stone Money was brought up at the end of class and the assignments given to aid in the process of writing said essay were given.
The similarities between a much-proven hypothesis and the old tradition of Foxhunting. These similarities are noted for their low effort grabs towards glory which in the case of the hypothesis is a “good grade” while the fox hunt is an attempt to garner glory through sport among one’s peers.
The importance of setting out on one’s own in their hypothesis was stressed. The poor grade we will receive from the low-hanging fruit serves as a deterrent to students and serves to challenge them and their thinking in finding creative hypotheses that can undeniably be called their own work.
Notes are an important process in helping us, the students, fine-tune our process in taking in the contents of the class and have a better resource to use at a later date.
The use of Google Scholar and how my classmates use this application to help find a potential pit to fall down in our attempt to find a narrow hypothesis to use as
Quotations in Google Scholar were shown to be important in finding something to click on versus just looking up whatever you typed without quotes. E.X. “shared experience” +social +cultural +culture +society. This is a great way to narrow down our search to something very specific. The Rowan Library database is another great way to do something like Google Scholar because you sometimes have to pay for articles through Scholar while Rowan University themselves are more often than not subscribed and we the students can enjoy it for free.
This is getting fascinating fast! You and Sunflower are really pushing the limits of how formal and carefully worded a set of Class Notes can be, FrogSprog. At their best, these are quite beautiful. Thank you for the effort and the effects.

Finding a pheasant of a fox hunt
– Don’t follow the normal. Find something new and interesting.
– Limit what you are writing about and narrow it down.
– Be fresh and find something that interests you and that could interest others.
– Make it better for you. Make it easier for you. make it fun for you
– Use Google Scholar (weeds out useless results like products)
– be specific, lower the results, make the pheasant reveal itself.
– (“”) pulls only sources that include what is in “quotes”
– (+) adds those words to search for what is in “quotes”
– Use the libraries database instead of paying for different resources.
– “Our building shape us”
Your use of Imperatives turns every Note into a Takeaway!

Notes-9/13/23
-We first started off discussing the Stone Money Podcast and it gave me further insight into how money can be valued. For example, Yap uses a stone as their money and just transfers ownership by just saying it.
-I learned that due to inflation money is becoming invaluable because of it becoming worthless society is spending more than saving.
-The professor went into detail about the Stone Money assignment due the 24th of this month. He challenged us to really research for the essay and then reduce all the information that was collected into a thousand words.
– A new resource was introduced Google Scholar a way to gather information but also to be able to reduce how many results come up by just using quotations.
-About the hypothesis pick what is going to fun to research and that interests you.
OK
Grade 3/3 —DSH
We opened up class with a 10 questions quiz via Survey Monkey centered around the podcasts we were tasked with listening to. We then began discussing our answers from the quiz. In doing so I was able to hear the different findings from my classmates some of which I had similar thoughts. Others , I was shown different ways to view some of the stuff that was spoken on in the podcasts. Next we reviewed the details/instructions our first 1000 word essay. Once we began looking into the Google Scholar web browser I was impressed to see how much the punctuation and grammar of a google search filters the results you get.
Hurt, you’ve accomplished a set of class Notes that contain almost exactly no content. We don’t learn even the broad subject matter of the podcasts. We have no idea how your ideas differed from others’. Or how they were similar. We don’t know whether the instructions for your essay were common or unique. If I’m really strict, we don’t even know if Google Scholar limits results a lot or a little. Can you do the opposite of this next time? 🙂
Grade 1/3 —DSH
– When discussing the aspects of Stone Money and currency, knowledge of the importance of inflation, the Federal Reserve, and the economy and the effects it has on the civilians who work and live within this financial aspects was taken away to increase the awareness of financial processes in our country.
– When Professor Hodges introduced the newest assignment of Stone Money, a helpful representation of posting and the editing process within Word Press were introduced and allowed for more information and awareness of blog use were obtained through this demonstration.
– The review of notes and comments left by Professor Hodges was extremely helpful as students were able to take away information of what the expectation of notes are.
– The introduction to Google Scholar was introduced, allowing students to gain awareness of a new resource that is available to produce scholarly sources that relate to the hypothesis which was produced by the student. The importance of quotation marks around the phrase when searching was reviewed, allowing students to understand a handy trick which could assist them in reviewing fewer, more specific, searches making the process of finding relevant sources less overwhelming and more productive. The new skill of adding a “+” with additional information which limits searches even further, relevant materials appear.
– By introducing photos of buildings and telling the stories of London widening their streets, a new viewpoint was taken away that the buildings which we enter shape the way we act and what occurs in those buildings. The example of the Senate Building was very eye opening, as the concept being talked about was shown as truth.
You’re amazing, Sunflower. I don’t know where you picked up the notion that to be good your Notes should all be written in passive voice, but you did a massively entertaining job of illustrating what would result.
As if that weren’t enough(!) you provide brilliant examples of just how clunky and artificial the passive can sound.
Your Notes are thoughtful and thorough, and I appreciate the effort you put into them. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next. 🙂

Thank you!
Class Notes Wednesday 9/13:
-The Fed can just sort of create money out of thin air. This feels wrong to me but I am not an economist so hopefully it would be okay.
-The way that the Yap just agree that stones change ownership without changing physical location is similar to how the Fed just chooses how much money a bank or business has. That money doesn’t actually physically move, it is just sort of agreed that that amount is how much the bank or business has. I’m sure what the Fed does has extra steps and is more complicated compared to Yap but I feel like these concepts are similar.
-Having a hypothesis that isn’t easily proved is okay. Even one that has research outright against it is okay, so long as you adequately explain and provide additional research as to why you disagree with that research.
-For essays it is important to select your username and the assignment for the categories in order to keep things organized, and to ensure you get credit for your work.
-Adding quotation marks around your Google Scholar search narrows the results for your search and allows you to find more relevant results for your research. Quoting multiple phrases in one search does this as well. (Example: “federal reserve bank” “monetary policy” “interest rate” +”inflation +”2008″) (The + make sure it has to show up in the result)
High quality Notes here, MillyCain. I like the engagement with the material you display here, and the fact that you chronicled several takeaways I haven’t seen in your classmates’ Notes.
About the Fed “choosing how much money a bank or business has,” they don’t, of course, at least the way you make it sound. The Fed gets money into the economy by making it available to banks to borrow. They don’t have to print actually currency to do that, and they don’t have to send greenbacks to the bank to lend them money. Transfers are electronic, which is what I think you meant to convey when you said the entities just agree on how much they get. Do I have that right?

Class Notes-
(podcast notes)
Podcast 1 → The island of Stone Money or also known as Yap, created a stone currency based on faith and value, so everyone in society can purchase items. Stone money being everyone’s version of gold allowed for non-physical transactions, and just reclaiming new ownership with trust.
Podcast 2 → Invention of Money: “money is value disappeared”, once the value of money decreases, prices result from the economy and what people will pay, rather than the governments idea of what the items are worth. For example, in Brazil with 80% inflation, the economy felt nonexistent and buyers hid items. Money is created from nothing and is the unit of account that gives the dollar the essential value.
Podcast 3 → Invention of Money: messing with money causes the economy to freak, however, the Federal reserve creates money out of nothing. Money is created out of trust that sets the value of a dollar, while currency is just information.
(in class):
Printing new money needs a certain amount of labor and mutual agreement, hence why fei is so valuable. When money becomes worthless, people will use the next thing others will use and accept.Out of control savings leads to money being spent, and further pressures the economy. No one will buy anything if prices are frozen, and money is created out of nothing. Google scholar is a great brainstorming tool for researching, and getting topic ideas. Quotations and (+) help create a specific search for your research. A building can shape a person.
I’m absolutely certain you understand these Notes better than I do, BabyYoda. They largely mystify me, but I sense every meaning.
I love: When money becomes worthless, people will use the next thing others will use and accept. It really is the only essential quality of money that others will give us things of value for it.
When you say: Out of control savings leads to money being spent, and further pressures the economy, I think you must have misheard me say: “Out of control inflation leads to money being spent, and further pressures the economy.” When inflation rages, nobody saves.
When you say: No one will buy anything if prices are frozen, you’re almost right. Nobody CAN buy things if they’re not for sale; price freezes discourage sellers from selling at all. They yank stock off the market. Prices go even higher for whatever small supply is still available.

-The 10 question quiz was pretty easy. I listened to all the podcasts, it made me understand the topic very well.
-He went into what we are supposed to do for the stone money assignment. I think the topic is pretty interesting so it shouldn’t be hard to come up with 1000 words with some research.
-He also explained how to check out the different categories to see different sections of the work that is submitted.
-Google scholar is a great tool to use when looking for sources. I have never used this tool but shortening the amount of hits on google will give me the best resources available rather than scanning through millions of searches.
-In google scholar you can add specific words in the search bar which is crazy. I’ve never seen that you can limit it ti about 7 searches from almost 2 million.
-We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us. This quote really describes how the british people felt after there city was destroyed. The people wanted the same buildings as before because that was instilled into their blood. They take pride in their city.
Thorough and solid.
Grade 3/3 —DSH
-The stone money of yap is similar to our own dollar being that it is essentially worthless unless on its own and that the economy and the people within give it value. The German government when around and placed black crosses on the giant stone rounds, similar to how a bank might place a lien on your car or garnish your wage when you don’t pay them.
-The London Blitz of World War 2 practically destroyed the city of London that dated back hundreds if not thousands of years, but its just that, the city was outdated and unfit for the modern automobile. This opportunity to rebuild the city of London into a more modern city more suited to modern life however not a road was widened.
Praise for the “lien on your car” and the “not a road was widened.”

Google Scholar:
Effective ways to research-
By using quotes around the phrase you are looking up, it will come up with fewer results and more effective articles.
By using + it limits the results to what you are exactly looking for

– in the first part of class we went over the pod casts that we watched we talked about the stone money and how the yap used it as currency.
– The stone money was transferred orally because they were to large to move and transport place to place
Google scholar:
– I learned how to use google scholar to my benefit and also how to make a google search like being specific will give me a lower results that are about the topic
– put them in quotes and only pull form what is inside of the quotation marks
– adding a (+) will search for those words that are inside the quotation marks
– we also went over the assignments that are due on the next class and we went over the up coming papers that we have to write too

9.13.23 notes
– The Federal Reserve controls the money in the country, and they can decide whether we need more (which causes inflation) or that the country has enough.
– The people of Yap basically have the same monetary system as America; they use stone discs and just trade off ownership instead of the use of bank accounts with numbers changing.
– Found importance in reading constructive criticism made by the professor to better my note taking for class.
– Discussed 1000 word “Stone Money” assignment. Learned that it is better to have brief writing with complex ideas rather than a lengthy essay with no real meaning.
Take advantage of rewrites in class because as we go on in the semester, the grading will become harder.
– A first draft 90% is worth 80% in your portfolio because first drafts are disposable and should always be made better for your portfolio.
– We do not use MLA in this class, we use APA style for our writing pieces.
– Google Scholar should be used to find reliable sources for your writing pieces. It is necessary to be precise with your searches by adding quotations, and extra words. Less results = valuable search
I find essential Notes here that can’t be found in the Agenda and that most of your classmates did not record, BlogUser. For me, that qualifies as special. I’m glad you Noted 1) the similarity of Yap/US ownership transfer, 2) the value of reading feedback meant for others, 3) the superiority of brief clear papers over lengthy vague papers, 4) the phenomenon of “grade shrinkage,” 5) our use of APA notation style, and 6) the superiority of low-number search results.
I don’t see them elsewhere, but they’re all Notable. Nice work!

I wasn’t present in class today but from what im reading from my classmates and the podcast that the first part of class we took the quiz and talked about the people that call themselves “yap”.They created a form of currency called fei. It was made from huge limestone rocks carved into disc.There is no gold so they use fei for currency.
Google Scholar:
From what im reading from my fellow classmates that google scholar is something that is very helpful in finding a something specific for a topic that you are researching.We also went over the assignments for next class.
Grade 1/3 —DSH
What we did in class today was did a 10-question quiz, then we went over it and learned about other stuff like what fox hunting is, we also talked about our hypothesis that we will be starting to do soon. We also learned how to about what google scholar is which can be used to help do our papers soon. I also learned how we could make our own ideas for the project that we are doing. 1000 is the minimum amount that we can write on some of our papers
Grade 1/3 —DSH
– we started class by taking a quiz on stone money and the Brazilian government and the inflation they have experienced in more recent years. I learned a lot about how money works at an international level.
– Sunday September 24th a reflective response on stone money and the people of Yap is due. this will be a 1000-word reflective response.
– use all resources for this assignment to write the essay or any outside sources as well.
– this assignment is a non-portfolio assignment which makes up part of 25% of the final grade in this class.
– after 48 hours the grade will have a maximum score of 50% so having this on time will be a necessity
– try to over wright and then edit your way down to the word limit.
– grading gets harder so improvement is necessary
– we then responded to professors reply to our first notes from last class to understand how better notes can look.
– professor then went over how writing an essay on the blog post works and made it a lot easier to understand.
– professor then talked about how to narrow down your search results with google scholar. I learned that putting your phrase in quotations will narrow down your search to what you’re actually searching for and show you less but more relevant searches.

-To my knowledge even when I was absent we worked on the 10 question quizzes on the podcasts that we were assigned to listen to.
-Sunday September 24th I hear that a reflective response on stone money and the people of Yap is due. It will be 1000 words.
– This assignment will be a non portfolio assignment which makes up the 25 percent of the final grade.
In class we also talked about Google scholar and how its a great tool for looking into sources.
In class we also talked about the London Blitz and it destroyed it but the stuff in London was outdated which gave London the opportunity to rebuild it into a more modern look.
Grade 2/3 —DSH
Today we discussed the correlation between the different currencies used throughout different cultures. We have made connections between the Yap currencies and how it is similar and different to the current way money is circulated today.
We then discussed how looking for interesting and new topics for research is similar to finding a pheasant when on a fox hunt. How it may not have been what you were expecting setting out, but the results in the end were much more satisfying.
Finally we went in depth on the search filtering on google scholar. We were instructed on the way to get very limited and topic specific results that will be of much help when writing a paper based on reliable resources. The school library and resources will also be of much help for the fact that Rowan has subscriptions to many sites that would allow us to view articles that may otherwise have to have been payed for.
Nice.
Grade 3/3 —DSH
Today we started class by taking a 10-question quiz about “stone money”. The professor also went over the 10 questions after we were all done. After that, we moved on to talk about fox hunts. A classmate stated that fox haunts are usually done by rich people. I also learned that fox hunts are not so much of a “hunt” because they bring a fox to find the other foxes. Toward the end, we learned about Google Scholar. I learned that the most detailed search is better for making a hypothesis. The less result you get the better your hypothesis and research paper will be.

Class Notes!
*Stone money or fei has been used as an example to show how much modern day currency systems are based on faith. It made me think about our economy in a different way than I would before. It takes an abnormal example to really show you how absurd some of our systems are. Most of our money nowadays is just numbers on a screen that fluctuate but there’s no physical object to show you how much you have, it’s completely based on faith that the people in charge are right.
-While listening I also had the thought that the people of Yap are probably really good at saving money due to the fact that it’s probably a pain to let everyone know that you spent a lot of money. Imagine you regret a purchase and you have to let all your neighbors know, that seems stressful.
*The hypothesis draft is due on the 18th. A good hypothesis is original, researchable and interesting. Working on a project that has been done before is uninspired or like professor Hodges said “lame.” The consequences of choosing a boring hypothesis is a less than average grade, you can’t learn from it, less rewarding, and doesn’t challenge your thinking. I agree with all of these even though in the past I have chosen an easy topic I knew a lot about for less work. This time I will put in effort to develop a strong, unique, and interesting hypothesis so I can get the most out of this assignment.
* The rest of class we watched an example on how to utilize our free tools. While it was interesting and I did learn from it didn’t challenge my ideas so there isn’t enough material to write about.
It takes an abnormal example to really show you how absurd some of our systems are.

Notes for the class of 9/13/2023:
Limit what you’re writing about and narrow it down don’t be only writing to reach a count of words.
don’t follow the normal found something you like, and you have a good knowledge about it so when you write about it will be something you enjoy it and fun for you also it will be easy work when you’re doing it.
the best way to have ideas and information for writing is to stay on the computer, hands on the keyboard and start writing without thinking you see all the information and ideas coming to your mind.
some skills we learn it to help improve our writing:
Use Google Scholar
in conclusion “work smart not hard”

1) We first went over the “finding a pheasant of a foxhunt” and how the rich would have set up fox hunt and chase’s that were really just for the catch of doing it.
2) Secondly we discussed have very little the palindromic date riddle occurs in each decade as only occurring 3 times a year
3) We then proceeded to follow up with the stone money discussion from class 2 by taking the stone money quiz
4) We then replied to your replies of our class notes for class 2 and talked about our hypothesis’s
5) We then talked about the helpful accurate database Google Scholar to aid us in good performance for our essay
6) Lastly we discussed the take home part of our assignment of the stone money assingment
You haven’t sufficiently absorbed the warning to AVOID “Talked About” language in your Agenda Notes, TheFirstMcLovin.
Review the “Class Notes” lesson.
Grade 1/3
First we started class by talking about the Stone Money article and podcast. In the podcast it consisted of talking about the people of Yap. The people of yap use stones (fei) as currency. Then, we talked about how the money is transferred orally. After this discussion, we began talking about inflation and what inflation does to our society. Inflation is the rising of prices to reduce the power of consumers. Inflation can make people lose homes and jobs because to be quite frank we can’t pay for everything.
We also went over the importance of google scholar and how it can benefit students. This leads to our next discussion of narrowing down references and our broad thoughts to something more specific.
– Instead of paying for paper use databases which is free
– Make sure to do a zoom conference before September 27th.
