how are we supposed to make our own notes on the actual test if we cant annotate? i know we get scratch paper but how are we supposed to match each paragraph break including the ones we make, etc
Debate/Critique because differing perspectives are offered - B. Snell and Z. Barby. and Spotlight because the topic at hand is the debate around individual autonomy and the power of gods.
(2) make a low-resolution summary
There's debate around the influence of individual autonomy and god on Greek dramas. BS says uses A to argue that individual autonomy has more influence. ZB takes this interpretation and then drives it hoe that A is proof that the individual influence is IT.
(3) identify different perspectives and the author’s attitude
The other doesn't present their opinion just discuses that of the others.
(4) predict the direction of the next paragraph.
I think in the second paragraph the author might talk about the scholarly debate around the influence of God as she didn't explore that in this paragraph.
In the videos I see you underline words that stick out. Do you recommend I use the underline function (or the highlight functions) to better parse out information? Or should I focus on reading and retaining the information only in my head?
is it recommended that our low-res summary and predictions be literally written somewhere to complete the process? Or are these all guidelines to help us better formulate a proper thought process like Lawgic (while not intended to be used on test day)
I read the quick view of the entire passage and created my own LOR. Then, after going through this passage, I compared my LOR with one of the videos. It helped me understand better. And if my LOR is different than the one on the videos I reflect on it.
I dunno why but they layout of these questions (like the 7Sage layout not the LSAT layout) is really frustrating because I'm someone who just needs to work through the entire thing at once. Breaking it into paragraphs keeps me from being able to predict efficiently.
Very good explanation, I love being able to visibly break apart the paragraphs. How would you suggest we do this on a computer for the actual test? My thought would be to highlight the first word of a section break and then jot the summary down.
Getting tired of seeing all these negative comments...
I, for one, am grateful to Kevin for creating these video lessons. I was nervous about the RC section, but after watching just this first video lesson, I am hopeful that I can get the RC section down.
Kevin, thank you for time & efforts and for not having an annoying voice haha. #feedback
For those of you complaining that these video lessons have just recently become available, chill.
If you're super close to taking the LSAT, I can see how the timing of these lessons becoming available is frustrating. Still, Kevin and every other person creating content for 7Sage are only human.
I would think that more people would be appreciative of the fact that 7Sages cares about putting out quality content.
Interesting stuff, I wonder if this will be particularly useful to someone like me who's only hitting -2 on average for RC. Is it worthwhile to change the way I approach the RC section, or should I just keep practicing?
So, there is a format to how to effectively annotate essays. If this were a phenomenon hypothesis style essay, you would annotate it as P1 phenomenon, P2 hypothesis, P3 experimental evidence, etc. And for debate style essays you would do something like P1 Intro to debate, viewpoint 1, P2 viewpoint 2, P3 author's viewpoint etc.
Wow, these such useful lessons are coming a week before my LSAT nice. Lucky me.

I’m having a hard time remembering what I read and even understanding all the complicated vocabs in RC, any tips?
Can this be interpreted as a spotlight passage style? SPOTLIGHT= GREEK DRAMAS
I am so screwed. I read this and forget what I just read.
Did the quickview feature disappear on the new website? I want to do low res summaries on my own before watching the video.
So, unlike LR, I'm going to take a break from notes and I'm just going to let the teacher teach me in RC.
#feedback how are we supposed to diagram like this when take the exam online?
Kevin, thank you for the explanation.

I think RC is going to be my strong suit. Great explanation!
I miss JY
Kevin sounds like the nice dude who celebrates monthly anniversary
The length of these passages and verbosity is fucking bullshit.
What do you think you would do for making a low res summary on an online test?
great video!
Very good explanation, I love being able to visibly break apart the paragraphs. How would you suggest we do this on a computer for the actual test? My thought would be to highlight the first word of a section break and then jot the summary down.
Hi! Any tips for when we come across a word we are unfamiliar with? I'm a good reader but sometimes I am held back by the vocabulary in these passages

Rant over. Thank you for reading :)

7 Sage has been working overtime I see! I hope these new videos re-affirms my thought process!
