I propose we make a series of exercises to go along with the articles of the sequences. These exercises could help readers know how well they understood the material as well as help them internalize it better.
This looks like another of the good ideas people have on here that then doesn't get done. I'm sick of that happening.
If folkTheory creates one exercise as an example, I will make another. I hereby commit to this. If I don't follow through within 2 weeks of folkTheory posting his example, please downvote this comment to negative 10. FolkTheory, please PM me when you have yours so I make sure I see it. Thanks.
Everybody else who wants to see this succeed, feel free to post a similar comment.
EDIT: I'm doing an exercise for Words As Hidden Inferences, and will post the exercise as a discussion post no later than April 17, 2011. If it doesn't match what folkTheory was envisioning, I'll make edits but won't lose the karma.
EDIT2: It's up.
I'm glad this is actually happening, and at great speed.
I hereby commit to doing exercises for 'Belief in Belief' and 'Bayesian Judo' by what appears to be our standard commitment: Deliver by April 17, 2011 or downvote to -10
Note: It'll be a combined exercise for those two articles as they're very related.
Same commitment.
I propose we create posts in /discussion/ for each post in the sequence containing exercises for that post. I will create a Wiki page now where people can indicate that they have taken charge of creating exercises for any specific post. If I do not edit this comment with a link to said Wiki page within two days, downvote this comment to -10.
Edit: Project page. If I do not take charge of creating exercises for at least one page within two days, downvote this comment to -5.
Edit: Claimed "Making Beliefs Pay Rent (in Anticipated Experiences)". If I do not submit a page of exercises within two weeks, downvote this comment to -10.
I claimed 'Belief in Belief' and 'Bayesian Judo', see here.
Added to index.
Edit: I'd like to beta for that one - I'll PM you an email address.
Unrelated question: is the "if I don't do this, downvote to -10" meme new?
It seems to have started with this thread.
I've seen it before, but it's not a common thing.
Would you be willing to beta read my exercise for "Words as Hidden Inferences"? If you say yes I'l email you a word document.
Absolutely, I'd love to.
THIS. THIS. Read parent.
Now that this is happening, I suggest a post (maybe discussion, maybe main) noting that it is happening and with progress and commitments so far.
Seconding. As the one who propsed it, I'd suggest folkTheory should make it.
Done.
