I yesterday took the PT in which this passage is found. It's cool to see it again. I had already done some of the new RC modules before taking the passage, and I did pretty well on it (-2, -0 BR). Having known the basics of Critique & Debate was a great help, even if I had just started on them the day prior.
I'm finding that Kevin's summaries focus mostly on the function, purpose and perspective of each paragraph to make his summaries shorter.
A mistake that I think that I'm making-that may help you-is writing my summary while reading the passage. When I do that, I'm notetaking which makes it easy to list every new thing because it seems important and which ultimately bloats up my summary. I think that we should really only make the low res after completing the passage. Doing this might help force us to make shorter summaries.

I can't be the only one who finds it hysterical he's named Weiner.
"weiners position" sent me not gonna lie
That gave me a great reason to keep giggling and continue reading this passage.
"If someone spoke like this in real life, I’d nod politely and think about how soon I could leave the room." LOLLLLLLLL
God this one is painful
Weiner was here to the rescue

Weiner, is a wiener.
Weiner concludes
As a philosophy minor, RC is starting to make so much more sense if I approach it the way I approach philosophical texts.
Any advice on this? I struggle with the subjects on RC..
James really sounds like he's worried about his job, yikes dude

Really glad you guys updated the curriculum.
Edit: I actually got -0 on this passage. I confused this with the stained glass passage! My point still stands, and stronger than before.
hehe "Mr. Weiner" hehe

LOL
low res summary : Weiner - VIDEO BAD.
I yelled out BANG! in the library my LRS was the same as my glorious King Kevin's!
social sciences passage are my favourite because i read this stuff for fun 😎
The proliferation of video and television harmed Western values too.
Low-res summary from me:
a) Weiner: proliferation of video
b) Weiner: video harming indigenous culture
Tips on getting low res wording? I feel like I struggle to sum it in 2-3 words

Pretty sure it's pronounced like "why-ner" not "weener"
heh James Weiner
Now the superficial difference would be A.I. sadly.
Damnit weiner, this is the last time you'll try to overpower me!
"if someone spoke to me like this in real life I'd nod politely and think about how soon I could leave the room" LMAOOO

Paragraph 1 Topic: Purpose:
Paragraph 2 Purpose:
Paragraph 3 Purpose:
Author's attitude:
