@RyanPrioreschi Don't think of these as things to be written down. These are the thoughts you'd have in your head as you read. You'd stop between paragraphs to take a mental summary.
In critique or debate passages, if the author offers a perspective then it will always be the main point. If the author is neutral, meaning a perspective from the author is not given, then the main point would just be that a debate exists.
I feel like I would do so much better on a written exam instead of an online one. However, with it being online, would it be worth spending a little extra time writing my summaries, perspectives, and main point on a scratch paper to look at during the exam?
sameeee im so sad i cant do it in person:( I'm going to start off by writing things down on a piece of paper, then hopefully I can transition to doing it in my head
Hate to say it, but that is really a personal choice. Me personally, writing stuff out takes WAY too long because I am too detail oriented.
I'd rather just methodically use my highlighter options and create a system that works for me so I can easily refer back to the passage if I blank. So far, I have enjoyed highlighting a single word or two to mark a shift between perspectives. Take that with a grain of salt because I just started.
honestly I was thinking the same thing, it would make way more sense then writing it out, side note can you take a highlighter and basic stuff into a real test?
Super helpful tip. My dr refused to help me get a medical accommodation for ADHD when I said I focus better on paper, but this tip will keep me grounded and focused. Thank you!

How are we supposed to write these 1 sentence summaries on the actual exam if they are taken on the computer?

Main point = Author's perspective
Did Luigi write this passage?
My low res was different. Again. :(
Is the main point generally always the author's perspective?
Not generally, always in the case of this passage style (debate).
In critique or debate passages, if the author offers a perspective then it will always be the main point. If the author is neutral, meaning a perspective from the author is not given, then the main point would just be that a debate exists.
