It would be a nice option to not always have so many acronyms when reading these notes, or to give the option to hover the mouse over it to see the full word.
#feedback May we please make these thingies at the beginning of lessons videos? I find this very hard to digest in one chunk, and I know others feel the same. Thanksss!
at first, i was confused about the discrepancy in the clearance rate for det. conan cases then i realized that i was watching criminal minds last night. and while the bau solves a lot of difficult and often high-profile cases, their clearance right might not be the greatest although they are excellent special agents. which led me to the explanation that det. conan might be considered a good detective, despite his low case clearance rate, because he solves the most difficult cases and high-profile cases (career-making cases).
I was very bias about the texts at the beginning too, but after little bit of time and digesting material. You will find these texts very useful. Pls don't skip them. @KevinLin'sOldUserName@J.Y.Ping thx
Perhaps Det. Conan is a homicide Detective and many of his unsolved cases are related to one serial killer he is trying to find. Once he catches the killer, then many of his cases will be solved. He works nights and undercover for years on a case in order to close it. He also has the highest respect from his bosses and colleagues. This could explain it all.
I think the mixture between videos and text lessons are great. We will have to be comfortable with readings if we want to be successful in lawschool and with this test! Read yall!
My hypothesis before reading the explanation: Perhaps Detective Conan solves the most difficult of cases while the average detective solves around 35% relatively easy cases.
After reading the explanation: surprised pikachu face
Is there another explanation possible that someone else can think of?
"Sometimes, there is an assumption gap between what's said in the stimulus and the correct answer." What does this mean, again? Does anyone have a chart that helps differentiate how assumptions are to be used in MC, MSS, MBT, and PAI, in comparison with assumptions in RRE, W, S, E questions? Are certain patterns of assumptions in the right/wrong answer choices for the two groups of questions above? An organized list, or chart (explaining the different roles assumptions make for each question type) would be very helpful! #Help #Feedback
For MSS-MBT questions, what is meant by an assumption gap between stimulus and correct answer is like if a question talked about raptors becoming chickens. and then the correct AC would be something like "some reptiles are the evolutionary predecessor to fowl" It would require the assumption that raptors are a type of reptile. We both know this and it is a reasonable assumption, so its ok. But if an AC said something like "it is not uncommon to see predatory species become prey" that would require assuming raptors are predatory and chickens are prey, which they could be, or could not be depending on what animals they are being compared with.
For the RRE-W-S-E questions it would be like the above example of Det. Conan

i wish there was just a video attached to this lesson :/
I tried reading a few paragraphs and just figure that I should just move on before I get more confused.

Was not expecting to see a Detective Conan reference on my LSAT prep journey, but I love to see it.

dude i want a video... please. Thanks :)
pls someone make a video for this lesson
hello to the 6 people here
Help, what is POE?
Process of elimination. If you can't seem to find the correct answer, then eliminate the ones that you know are wrong.
No video???
There should be video for this lesson

hope this helped
I'm a bit confused - for RRE are we still assuming that everything int he Stimulus is also true? In addition to the AC's? #help
@Isabella! Yes, you would take the premises as true and the correct AC, if true, would explain the phenomena/observations!
If these involve paradoxes, my head is already swirling.. But, I'm ready! lol
