@smallbrowngirl28 the jackson argument is meant to be one of the ACs in a parallel reasoning question. The peter argument right above it is the Stimulus, and the Jackson argument is a hypothetical answer choice. I think either wording works because you are evaluating the argument and the argument is also an answer choice.
is the argument about Jackson taking the advice a valid argument? I know it's not parallel to the Peter brushing teeth argument, but I'm wondering if it's valid at all, say IF we assume deep contentment and happiness are the same thing.
If deep contentmnet = happiness, It sounds like the necessary condition of "succeeding in happiness" was met. But that couldn't lead us to the conclusion that Jackson took the advice right? Since only the necessary condition was met
Great tips. Never thought about searching for the conclusion first to make sure it is in the same structure/verbage (obviously with the caveat that it could be negated/the contrapositive).
#feedback There is a typo in this lesson. It says "Contrast that with a better way evaluate this answer" when it should say "Contrast that with a better way to evaluate this answer."

the "bad way to evaluate this answer" clocked me so hard... its like you took that from my brain
I already feel the ache in my SOUL for this round
''I’d go to the answers looking for three “some” relationships.''
Is evaluating this "answer" for the Jackson piece supposed to say "evaluate this argument"??? So confused #help #feedback
@smallbrowngirl28 OR is it meant to be an answer that we would hypothetically evaluate to find the parallel in the Peter stimulus?

Needs Video!!!
Vote for Pedro#
This is a very important concept. A video would have been SOOOOO helpful!😭
yeah I think ima skip these when they come up and then come back if I hve time. hardest ones yet fs :(
No three "some" -> Move on. Wise words.
@RaymanMartinez 💀💀💀
where did the videos go
So confusing -- a video would be really helpful.
Needs a video!!
#feedback since this is one of the hardest types of questions, it would be really nice if Kevin made a video on it T.T
Please Kevin, bless us with blood- er, I mean madman's knowledge!
Shallow Dip:
Eliminate choices that do not match degree of certainty
Ex. If conclusion guarantees specific outcome, it can NEVER match an argument with a conclusion merely stating something is probable (and visa versa)
Scan long answers to search for conclusion
Arguments must reach conclusion in the same way
Look for same number of premises and conclusions
BUT, not necessarily in same order
Look for same number of ideas in each argument part
Look for logical terms that mean the same thing but might not be the same
Ex. Correct answer may use "usually" instead of "most", "assert" instead of "argue
BUT, essentially, logical terms that mean the same thing
#feedback need a video to understand this here. Too abstract. Need JY
#feedback There is a typo in this lesson. It says "Contrast that with a better way evaluate this answer" when it should say "Contrast that with a better way to evaluate this answer."
what the hell did i just read
#feedback This entire section needs a video for each.
Seriously no video on this on a section with this kinda description. Wtf man.
I was coming over to say the same thing. This explanation needs a video.
#feedback - Can we get a video for this lesson? :/
i alrd know this section is gonna be terrible
I am scared.
LOL! Hang in there bud, you already took the first step by signing up for this course. Be proud, some people haven't even made an LSAC account.
ME TOO
Thanks 😂😁 best of luck!
#feedback i think these lessons are very clearly and concisely written AND i would still appreciate videos :)
I might just shallow dip out of this section... :')
