The skill builders would be best if they could be shuffled! That way when we are sorting things out it isn't obvious that it's the same thing over again.
Ngl, I feel like its taking me so long to understand material. Like I know it, but applying is so different. I finally got a 3/3 in the previous test and was so excited until the difficulty showed up and it was so low.
I'm very impressed with this course so far! It's very concise and very easy to get to the point. However, on some of the skill-builder exercises the questions become repetitive and I find myself not engaging with the material as deeply as I should be because I'm noting the patterns with the language rather than the actual concepts being tested.
I believe a way to fix this would be to offer a shuffle function with the questions.
me too. once i can identify the pattern in the skill-builder exercises, my eyes begin to glaze over the text and just find the information i need to get the correct answer. to combat this, i either answer all the questions in a section at once before checking for the answers or i complete only a couple of questions in one section before moving to the next.
The concepts were well explained and the skill builders made sense. However, I think more variation in the skill builders' problems would allow students to get more from the material, because in most of them the writing pattern becomes obvious, and then you can't help but see the pattern rather than the material. Additionally, concepts like major premise and sub conclusion are used, and then not used in some of the future lessons. Labeling these in future lessons would help us to integrate all of our knowledge in each problem.
I wish for the practices I could submit answers and have if they are correct or not because it does not challenge me as much to just reveal the answer.
I think incorporating more drills based on where we are in the CC would be beneficial. Then, as we move through the CC, create drills that test what we are currently learning and also include questions that cover prior topics, so they compound and test our understanding of past concepts over time.
At what point would you say I should start drilling practice questions. should I complete the course curriculum before starting? For context, I will be taking the Exam in June if I do well on my practice exams.
In the same boat, I feel like once I start logical reasoning lessons I will do drills, as I go, just to practice, and taking my results with a grain of salt.
I wish they’d add a notes function that would allow us to save all the graphics in one place in the app. I’m over here snapping screenshots for diagrams and I just know I won’t be able to find them easily enough when I need to down the road. It’d just make reviewing the modules so much easier.
I'm feeling good! I noticed I was getting easier questions wrong and more difficult questions correct because I was second-guessing myself with my answers - so I have to work on not second guessing myself. I really like the way the lessons are structured - where a concept is taught, built on, a new concept is taught, built on, and then there is an exercise to tie all the learnt concepts together.
I love the platform! Its very informative. One thing I will say is I wish that I would be able to do the skill builders and actually be graded on them.
Really good! Just bought it a few days ago and so far, so good. However, I will say that it would be even more helpful if I could print off or download PDFs graphs attached to each lesson and perhaps be able to have videos to that explain or simplify complicated questions in the various skill set drills.
the timing is killing me. I'm definitely a slow reader and need to take notes to break the statement down. and i always take "twice longer than targeted time" to answer 🤦♀️🤦♀️
@ShimaPo Same here! With practice comes speed. As long as your understanding the question, your off to a good start! At least that's what I'm telling myself:)
@ShimaPo What also helped me is it's like driving a car, you don't go straight to driving 75 on a highway, you start out at 30 in a residential and move up :)
I think that, at least for me, the comments help more than the videos. I think i've taken more notes on what other people have shared rather than the actual videos. Not sure what that says about my retention skills or if the lesson structures just aren't for me
@ShinyLoser I totally understand! I often like the videos and text explanations, but comments add a unique perspective which is helpful. I think it's because others are actively learning and figuring this out.
This course is extremely helpful and comprehensive. One thing I'd appreciate is being able to use different colors in the skill building section, or better yet having a premade template with matching colors to fill out. Something like the following would be great
Premise:
Conclusion:
Concession:
Ideally, those sections would match how the answer is presented. I found myself having to go back and forth from the answer to my own response a few times to make sure I got it right. #feedback

agreed!
It would be great if the check in quizzes actually saved your answer.

I would like to have different colored "highlighters" in the skill builders section.
that way I can call out different sections with a color.
Yes I would love this !
I said the same thing. This would be huge!
I agree!

I feel more confident; therefore, I am more motivated to continue going through these lessons! Thank you for making it easier for me, 7Sage!
drills following each section that is studied would be helpful. To reinforce our knowledge
COMPLETELY AGREE! Would save me from having to make custom drills.
1/3 on questions. In retrospect I see my mistakes. Onward and upward I guess
@RowanHalli i also got 1/3 its okey what matters is that we keep going :)
I'm understanding the material well but my timing, like many others have said, has not improved... yet.

I feel like a monkey beating its head in with a hammer- im just soooo slow UGH
I can see an improvement! However, I still feel a little slow to understand the questions.

I enjoyed this course, but I would like a highlighter feature to help me identify premise, conclusion, context, etc.
Haven’t had a 5/5 adaptive drill yet. My Adhd is making it really hard for me to study. Any tips?
@AnesaKabir I know not everyone can do this but I have a standing desk and treadmill - something about the movement helps my brain stay on track.

@TpollNlaw awww no seriously i'm gonna tell myself that too :)

i got 3/3 on the questions, still feel a little dumb but at least im seeing preogress
