I think this should be updated via the study plans tab because it shows that this lesson will take 1 minute. However, the video is a little over an hour.
This was a great lecture. How do i know which lectures to watch at what time? This one was perfectly imbedded with the curriculum we are learning right now, but for other lectures I could join, how do I know what to watch and when? I see live leture times all the time, but am unsure if they are too advanced/i havent learned the concept yet, etc.
@Summer my exact thoughts! I've joined a few classes that were really helpful, but I could tell that I was either missing ocncept, or just certain lingo that other students knew already
This was really helpful! Does anyone else find that the 'harder' questions are easier or more straightforward? I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into why that is, if there's any gaps in understanding that make the other 'easier' questions harder for me. But also I haven't even finished the LR section yet.....
Can anyone explain why the answer choice for the last question(11) can't be A? I know its context but if someone asks "why does Australia have fewer carnivorous mammals than other continents?" to which one would respond "because of unusual sparseness of it's ecosystems." This would make "unusual sparseness" a sub conclusion and answer choice A correct. Is it the addition of the word "probably" that makes the difference or is there another reason?
@tonyBarba Answer choice A would be considered context (phenomenon) not the conclusion, that is why its not the correct choice. We are looking for the main conclusion. "This" in the main conclusion (highlighted pink) is referencing the context (answer A) while giving a (hypothesis) main conclusion.
I suggest reviewing referentials and phenomenon/hypothesis
@tonyBarba I thought the exact same thing. Im assuming its not A because technically A is offering support for an opinion stated by the author due to the "probably" like you wrote. I could be wrong though.
Something that tripped me up with the 4 star difficulty questions is understanding the SC to MC distinction and relationship. Especially in the question about Australia. How do we know that that the mc for that problem is actually the mc and not a premise or sc?
I would really appreciate if more of the videos had transcript like summaries underneath the video, not really for longer ones like this, but for shorter one- question videos. I study better by reading and find the videos can be too detailed. When there is a transcript / summary, I can scroll to the part I actually need to read, and skip past the content that I don't need.
@rubyredshoes I often put the captions on the video, may not help to the extent you want but it definitely helps me grasp the information better while watching!
Can someone help me understand why B wouldn't be the answer? I've been trying to understand this one for a while now and it's just not clicking with the explanations provided in this video. When I do the therefore test, what has been categorized as MC--> SC works better then SC-->MC (which is the correct answer)? Both seem to make sense but MC-->SC makes more sense to me.

This was an amazing lecture I'd watch more of her lectures if there are anymore due to her ability to explain things so clearly.
What’s the best way to incorporate live lessons into my study routine?

Really great video, I like how the instructor breaks it down. More videos with her please!

this breakdown was so incredibly helpful omg
I liked this video a lot, specifically her clear explanations and annotations of the questions + the notes
How do you create the wrong answer template?

this was beyond helpful!

@rubyredshoes You can see transcripts here, though not below the video.

@Allen20 which question are you referring to?
