7Sage's Core Curriculum is very mapping-heavy -- and if that works for you, then great! But I've found it helpful to practice internalizing the Lawgic rules so that I can reduce the amount of transitions I need to write out by hand during a test.

For example, take "unless": "I won't like you unless you are nice to me" becomes "If you aren't nice to me, I won't like you," or /nice --> /like.

Or "no": "No apples are oranges" becomes "If something is an apple, it's not an orange," or apple --> /orange.

While writing these out can be helpful, I find it more useful to practice translating in my head (when I'm walking to class, etc), especially regarding things I see around me. Doing so has helped me internalize the rules more than diagramming by hand has. But of course, it's important to write things out when you're first learning the rules.

You can do the same exercise for any conditional indicator, as well as for taking contrapositives.
