Sometimes wrong answers are glossed over as just wrong without much explanation as to why or how the potential reasoning that might guide you there is wrong. This would be helpful in correcting what we might be doing wrong in Logic strategy or any rules we might have missed. I miss a lot of answers by getting confused with the contrapositive but then those possible confusions are never addressed. The video instructors simply say something along the lines of "this answer is obviously wrong," but to us starting out it does not feel so obvious as to why.
#feedback I think an introductory video for the beginning of each section describing answer choice tendencies or typical approaches, similar to those from the cheat sheet, would be very helpful. This would give a more overarching view of the question types and what to look out for. The individual videos for individual questions are good, but of course, each question is different from the last, which may use different techniques.
The only complaint I have is that with the drills integrated into the syllabus, I almost always do the first and press finish like I do with the "You Try" sections. Then I cannot go back and do the rest of the drill questions. Very annoying. There should be an "Are you sure?" button if you have not completed 1 or more questions.
This lesson made me realize I make small mistakes in my reading that affect the answer I give. I need to read more carefully before selecting the correct answer.
I felt much better about this chapter than the others. It somewhat felt a little too easy answering the questions and blind reviewing to see my answer be correct.
#feedback I like how the curriculum is kinda like building blocks on one another, but weirdly enough I find myself understanding older lessons better when I get farther and see their practical application in lessons that require more. For example, I initially struggled at finding the conclusion in those lessons, but now after getting all the way here I feel as though the conclusions jump out at me when that isn't the only thing I'm focusing on. Not sure why but just an observation I had.
#feedback More in lesson practice/application options that don't burn drill questions would be nice. LMS's typically offer a variety of formats for knowledge checks, so exploring other options besides open field format might be nice:) Really appreciated the addition of arrow options for graphing logic.
#feedback It feels like some of the LR and Core Curriculum should swap places. I remember struggling way more with the end of the CC than this middle-ish section of the LR content. I feel like I wasted some time trying to understand the end of the CC when I would have been better able to understand it with more practice with simpler LR principles. But overall, I am learning rapidly and increasing my score steadily. Happy to say that I PT'd a 176 last week and am still confident I can shoot for a 180 in August!
The curriculum is challenging, especially as you go further down the "You Try," questions. This is good as it keeps you constantly thinking and wanting to improve.
One thing that pissed me off is that you never explain what the hell the term "Pseudo Sufficient Assumptions" even means... I looked up what pseudo means and I can't understand how it relates to the question type. #feedback #lockin
PSA was surprisingly easier for me to grasp compared to the weakening questions in the prior lesson. The aspect of doing multiple "try this" made it easier to understand the concepts and find my areas that I was lacking in.
PSA kicked my butt but I had to start all over the PSA lesson to really grasp the concept. It helps to watch the videos and read the description of the lesson. Reading the description of the lesson is tough especially when your mentality tired but we all need to get used to it because law school has A LOT of reading (chuckles) I'm in danger.
Seeing typical trend of wrong A.C's has helped me out a lot with PSA.
o Sufficient conditions either fail to trigger on the facts of the case or their necessary conditions deliver the wrong results.
o Either the bridge failed to start at the right location, or the bridge was built to the wrong destination. Or both.
Thanks JY!
Those reading this and felt discourage at some point, don't be! I was there too and I bet a few others as well. We have to keep swimming and kick the LSAT @$$.
I felt that the explanation of the PSA questions was not thorough enough. I had to join the live session to gain a better understanding of the 'agenda' for these questions.
This might be just a me thing but I usually do like 1-2 concepts a day so sometimes I don't remember the acronyms for previous concepts right off the bat and it's kind of annoying to google MSS, MBT, and PAI every time. It'd be helpful to link them to the lessons when they come up #feedback
Definitely turning into J.Y. when I rubber-duck/blind review my answers lol. But the videos for many of the sections, especially the PSA section, are way too long and my attention span starts to wander. I do not need a 20 minute explanation on a question that is relatively straightforward and simple. Some of J.Y.'s hypotheticals and analyses are unnecessarily intricate, but I don't want to skip forward because sometimes he nests some really important points in all of that confusion. Each video should be 5-10 minutes long for practice questions, with maybe an extended video for lessons. You can still extract the same truths in a much more condensed version.

I think that the one complaint I have is that I wish that we had the ability to edit our notes.
#feedback When completing the survey it should either bring you back to this lesson or mark it complete and move you to the next lesson

i want more motivation videos - I appreciate the segment because it helps me relax and take a break

Very happy with the curriculum so far and a big part of that is the great explanations in the video and emphasis on fundamentals.
I'm very pleased with the core curriculum! : )

Its great. I don't think I completely cooked on getting my target score.
I felt that the explanation of the PSA questions was not thorough enough. I had to join the live session to gain a better understanding of the 'agenda' for these questions.
PSA's have been the hardest topic for me, gonna skip them and just move on and come back later.
PSA questions are hard.
I did pretty well at the you try for the PSA but the drill is not looking good. Any suggestion!!
