in the video he says that we don't know that the traits listed in the descriptive sentences are desirable, but the stimulus says that colored paper is preferable. in my head that makes the colored paper more desirable than paint. Is that a naive assumption?
The conclusion says that colored paper is should be used. But for what should it be used? When teaching art students.
The premises state that colored paper is preferable because it has these traits. Okay, but is that relevant to teaching? What if it's only relevant when first trying out different mediums of art? (Maybe there's a better example, but that's what I can think of rn).
I got this question wrong at first because I glazed over the stimulus and got tricked into making the assumption that colored paper should be used because of the premises. But the right answer just gives you what you already assumed.
@Willyc Same problem here, boss. I can feel the gap in my head slipping away as soon as I try to write it down or look at the ACs like sand from the gaps of fingers. It sucks but its a mental muscle to learn, I suppose
@RyanCalvert I was having a super difficult time with these. I usually just use the highlight option to separate the stem but have been writing down for these instead on paper so I can visually see the breakdown of the stem. This allows me to separate each and see exactly what they are asking for. This allowed me to see "hey they are teaching students here" well what are they teaching them "how shitty paint is to compare colors vs colored paper". Breaking them apart let me see in the question it needs to somewhere point to the students and how they learn. I hope this helps and isn't just me rambling because I was having a tough time on sufficient and beginning of this lesson.
this is the first one that I actually got right, used the process of elimination for the first 3 and D made perfect sense:) hopefully I can continue to get these correct :)
went back and forth so many time swith my answer choice because i thought we needed to compare the two things we were doing CBA to but i trusted my gut!!!

my first N.A. I’ve got right 😭 praise

@BenjaminDooley
This is my thought process on your question:
The conclusion says that colored paper is should be used. But for what should it be used? When teaching art students.
The premises state that colored paper is preferable because it has these traits. Okay, but is that relevant to teaching? What if it's only relevant when first trying out different mediums of art? (Maybe there's a better example, but that's what I can think of rn).

i lvoe these so much more than sa questions
Dawg every time I finish reading the stimulus and have the gap in the argument prepped in my head, it just ain't there when I look over at the AC's

@Willyc this is literally why I get them wrong, my brain hyper focuses
I crashed out last night doing these. Don't forget to take a break and remind yourself it's a marathon not a race.
You are doing so much just by showing up and you should be proud of yourself :)
@Bippus You're not alone, I'm having a hard time with these. I can't wrap my head around it
@Bippus, cash out is valid... these are giving me such a hard time! ANY TYPES??
How can I get better at these questions? I am really struggling to get any right, no matter how much time I am spending on the questions.

Got it the first time and switched my answer - seemed too simple. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
classic example of how NA questions are different from SA questions :(
pain.
Sometimes the right answer is so obvious i dont even think its correct
@VictoriaStewart yup
this is the first one that I actually got right, used the process of elimination for the first 3 and D made perfect sense:) hopefully I can continue to get these correct :)
Guess work is working OT
damn
I GOT ONE RIGHT THANK YOU
Identifying traps is helping my accuracy so I appreciate these really tough questions.
dude i don't get this at all. NA is my worst enemy
I love NA. I hate SA.
i have gotten pretty much every single answer in this section wrong i want to quit
this is ~awful~
:))
I went with (A) and thought if (A) is false, the argument fails.
I guess I failed to differentiate 'different compositions' and 'different textures'....
ITS GETTING WORSE, HOW
fuck this shit
went back and forth so many time swith my answer choice because i thought we needed to compare the two things we were doing CBA to but i trusted my gut!!!
Sooo... is the reasoning here cost-benefit? I approached it that way...but didn't clock the prescriptive/descriptive gap it seems
How is this one much easier than the last one 😭
