having a pencil to dissect passages on the screen would be helpful. what are some techniques that you all use with the annotation options provided to us (highlighters, Underline)
I know for a fact that I got this question wrong on my 1st diagnostic, but using the techniques from this program I was able to get it correct this time! :)
Thank god for that highlight feature because I was able to use it to differentiate between the different parts. Context, premise, and conclusion. I did go overtime, but i didnt realize it was timed.
What helped me on this question was thinking this:
Conclusion is general. This is a general statement that the Author believes in.
The Evidence for the conclusion is the Premise. This is the Specific area that SUPPORTS the Author's conclusion.
The answer choice needs to be the closest restatement of the conclusion. And the conclusion should be a general statement of the Author's belief compared to the Premise (Evidence) which is the specific.
Was 38 seconds over, but got it right. At this point, I believe I am trying to absorb all of the information and think through all the possible responses. I'm sure my process will get more efficient as I go.
Got it correct, in about 30 seconds. However, the fact that I got it so quick and the length of the other answers choices made me pick the answer in 2 minutes 25 seconds. Any tips for speed?
I got this one correct, but I think it would become more difficult if the context was placed after the argument.
As I was reading it I correctly noticed the premise + conclusion relationship in the context. But since the excerpt went on, I figured that was just context for the main argument.
I picked the right answer in seconds. Even though I found the first two modules slow, I can now see the pace was beneficial, so that we could dissect arguments quickly and intuitively.
This was a great way to bring everything in the module together. I found that I was able to quickly answer the question with more ease than before I started this lesson. I'm so excited to keep going
It didn't let me take the quiz; it only showed me the video. How do I fix this?

I didn't pick A because it's conditional. His reason and my reason on why A is wrong differ, and that's what throws me off.....
ughhh i'm still iffy cuz i picked a.

Yess! I got it right!

Actually feel like that made sense.
YES!!! I got it right :)
Oh, good, that means I'm understanding the concepts. I didn't even recognize that it was timed. I certainly will be more efficient in the future.
LET'S GO! I did that fast too :D
i got trapped on Answer A...

woohoo it took longer than most, but I answered it correctly
In this question first line was context then transitions into author's opinion.
I initially thought A was the answer. At a glance it sounds like author would agree with this.
A is so definitive and the conclusion doesn't say that it says "not all efforts".
Whereas B is closer to that because it says "some.
Devil is in the details.
C is completely wrong employees aren't owners.
D is talking about the context no the conclusion.
E is only talking about the premise.
I got this one correct, but I think it would become more difficult if the context was placed after the argument.

I was 10 seconds over :(

omg omg omg its making sense
i got absolutely hung up on "clearly"! just was like "clearly?" okay conclusion indicator. which led to me to pick E and not B :,)
Diva, I’m cooked
#feedback I don't understand how to blind review, is there a section that explains this? I would like to get the most out of these first questions.
