Critics - specifically critiquing the categorization of EM's work whether it is autobiography or fiction and drawing on two of his works to support their opinion
Author - dismisses critics argument saying they are too focused on traditional labels and EM forms his work in a way to promote a social message.
So there are 2 perspectives that I identified.
Ugh, I can see how the high scorers are the ones who can do this mentally. For me, it really helps to have the summary written down. Is there a chance for me to get a high score though I can entirely do this mentally or am i being to pessimistic from the get-go?
is just me or the example used in the video is not the same one as the example explained in the text version?? The one of the video starts with "work of South African writer Ezekiel..." and the text version example starts with "Various theoretical approaches have been...". #Feedback
#feedback The player on these videos do not work all of the time, not allowing me to change viewing speed or change subtitles settings. In this video, subtitles covered the passage and I could not read all of it without reloading the page.
There was so much work and analysis in the text that was mostly glossed over in the video. If all of the videos are going to be different from the texts, I'll just read the texts for the RC curriculum, so I don't miss anything. I probably need to recondition myself to read dense texts again anyway. College was a few years ago at this point
#feedback not even attempting to say Mphahlele's name was not super awesome. To borrow from Uzoamaka Nwanneka, if you can learn to say Tchaikovsky and Michaelangelo and Dostoyevsky (and the latin names of bacterium in the case of 7sage), you can learn how to say Mphahlele!
engage in the vids, if Kevin wants me to pause and make a prediction, well that is what I'm going to do. So far, so good. I understood the breakdown of the passage while using the foundational in LR. good luck to all
I understand the author is just describing a perspective: the critics. Is it also possible that this paragraph shows the author leaning more towards in favor of EM, considering the end where the author mentioned the critics are missing the bigger picture when it comes to EM?
These tips are very helpful and reassuring when tackling the RC section. As someone who loves to read in my free time, I DREAD the RC section on the LSAT.
#feedback - Can you clarify how much of this analysis/low res summaries should be done in our head vs on paper vs. through highlighting the passage? Is this supposed to be a combination of the three or more intrinsically, entirely in our head?
This test is a nightmare as is, with just a wall of text it is borderline impossible to focus and get anything out of it. my brain sees the words but that is it.
I often mess up with these questions because it never occurs to me to remember or consider "Why do they hold this view?"

#feedback is it advisable to watch the videos and read the text or do only one? It takes so much time to do both.

I thought the author was going against the critics perspective since he felt like they got "EM" intention wrong..... ayayay!
he's right, the LSAT writers ARE gremlins
I wish the video lesson was as detailed as the writing part below.
#feedback the text below the video is completely different with differing examples although its all on the same topic. Is this by design?
#feedback “sharply defined cataclysmic catering period.” typo needs to be "cratering" period

video, video, video.

This is very helpful!
