Potato Salad
I worked through the cause and effect exercise and what I think worked in the exercise was how the exercise had a clear sense of progression on causal reasoning. It starts with figuring out the people getting sick and the most important common link between them getting sick. The second question strengthens the case for them getting sick from eating potato salad because no one else ate the potato salad in question. Since only people who ate potato salad because sick, it makes a stronger case that the potato salad was the what caused them to become sick. The last question confused me though. I understood the question so far as people becoming sick right after they ate the potato salad, but I didn't really "get" what it meant when it said the incubation period was only 3 days. First, I didn't really get what the statement meant. Second, I didn't really get what it had to do with anything.

Dude, I don't know why but I hella LOLED at the title of the blog. I agree with you how the exercises were really good at understanding the material towards the blogs. I went through the Potato Salad thing and didn't really understand it. But since I read your post, it helped me understand the bases on how to understand how it dealt with cause and effect. Like how it caused people to get sick or not. Thanks for the lulz that were had because of the name of the blog. Also thanks for more of a better understanding within the Potato Salad exercise.
