#feedback, this didn't feel like a lesson, it seemed identical to a "you Try" I wish this section had more theory and generalizable strategies, instead of just practice.
I saw a lot of people saying that this is the worst section of LR. Honestly I have been getting 90% correct. Still believe Necessary Assumptions was the worst section lol.
I am confused why it is not B... The argument did take the fact that publisher's post stories on lifestyle as indication that they intended to publish stories about based on what they assumed the public wanted.
I get that answer choice C is more correct, but I don't see how B is not a flaw too.
@mvmarras11534 I mean I understand why the answer is C, but I feel like the explanations for why the wrong answers are wrong are incredibly weak in this one (exception, I love how he explained A by providing stimuli that would make it right).
For B, what helped me was piece-mealing it:
"intention to produce that effect"
well, the effect produced was publishing trends that people don't like...
Did the author of the stimulus think this effect is evidence that this was the intention all along? NO! He explicitly says that the intentions are based on false assumptions, implying that they don't know they're wrong and likely intended for people to like what they're publishing.
I got this wrong before looking at the video. I think the argument itself was SOOOOO horrendously bad that it actually made me think I wasn't understanding something correctly, and I therefore tried to dig way deeper than I should have. I mean, I guess I wasn't understanding it correctly because I was trying to figure out why the hell it was trying to say anything about the public and what that connection to the students was. Like I thought "the public" may have been so irrelevant and disconnected from the rest of the argument that I was trying to figure out which answer explained the flaw in going from these students to the publishing trends.
Like are we talking about how the journalism students' interests will eventually influence what is published despite what the public may want?
#feedback why does it seem that the You Try's are very difficult and the regular lesson videos are constantly lvl 1 difficulty. For context, I try every question with the quick view option and they are so simple to understand, it seems the lesson videos shouldn't be the lvl one difficulty ones.
I agree that the lessons would benefit from some variety, but I see them as first illustrating a concept quickly then "throwing us to the wolves" within a low-stakes environment.
Every question has an explanation video you can consult, but the ones you need to practice doing on your own are the difficult ones, and the ones that will mostly clearly illustrate / help you understand concepts are the simple ones
i typically do the question first for these lecture videos before i watch the video (click the quick view at the top of the page under the blue border) then i pick my answer and check to see if im right (answer bar directly under the video) and i was so proud of myself for being able to anticipate the correct answer choice and getting it right
i totally skipped over the part that said journalism students and got the question wrong broooo. when i saw the difficulty level i thought to myself "......no way"
I asked a group of geologists whether they want to hear more about rocks in the classroom or math, 99% of them said rocks. I therefore conclude that we must now focus every high school class on rocks to serve the interests of the youth.
#feedback please start putting the ACs in the video from the beginning. Or else we are losing a critical half of the learning experience with these questions.
It's probably best if you try anticipating the answer before you see it. Answers serve to mostly confirm your anticipated paraphrase. Rarely do answers themselves give any additional insight.
I like when JY highlights different common themes within a question type which can help you better develop a framework to approach a question type by recognizing a pattern. #feedback

#feedback, I think "daily" in the summary of Answer Choice D should be "duly"
#feedback, this didn't feel like a lesson, it seemed identical to a "you Try" I wish this section had more theory and generalizable strategies, instead of just practice.
#feedback It would be nice if the summary didn't give the correct answer away at the top of the page right when clicking into the lesson.
@Rena12345 fully agree -- learning flaw types first would be way more helpful

By a LONG shot. NA destroyed me
That and SA
Same here. Was heinous.
agreed.
@famiagul99987 Yea, NA beat my behind every which of way.

I thought the same thing

Holy shit. I think I need to take a break.

Great points, New York! I concur.
What a terrible argument LOL

At the top, if you click quick view it will show the question in its entirety.

#Help. What are the false assumptions?
In the stimulus, the press is making a false assumption about what the public is interested in
#help #feedback It says "lesson" on the syllabus but when you click on it, it is a "you try"
You've got a keen eye! Thanks for catching that. We have fixed the page. Please feel free to let us know if you have any concerns. Thanks again!
