I liked the spit approach but would like to try this one with a new passage to see if I like it or not. I already know all the upcoming answers though since we just did it so this isn't beneficial at all how its currently set up.
TL;DR: In response to the question "Is there any benefit in watching these next few videos if I have already watched the split approach version of this same passage?" Kevin replied: "I don't think you need to watch these if you felt like the Split approach made sense."
It was at the bottom of the comments and I wanted to make sure it was easier to find for future viewers :)
#feedback I understand that using the same passage allows for a more accurate comparison; however, having just worked through this passage using the split approach, I cannot appreciate this sequential approach lesson because I just did this. I would prefer different passages.
@sparklespice4 Yeah using this approach after analyzing both passages and each question is both a bit boring and also not an accurate way to see if the sequential approach works better for us
It's cool to see the differences in low-res summaries between the two of you. Glad to know I don't need to summarize in exactly the same manner as either of you. However, for this passage, I preferred JY's. It really fits with my line of thinking on how I absorbed the information.
this is not related to this topic but in RC we come across words that we might not be familiar with, do you have any recommendations for what to study or read to help with words/concepts we may not be familiar with?
I think your only options are to read more and write down any new words. I have a vocab list (like grade school lol) of all the new words that I have encountered since I began the core curriculum and I look back at them periodically to ensure I know their meaning.
I took the GRE and noticed that many of the unfamiliar words found in the LSAT overlap with both regular and advanced vocabulary in the GRE. To better prepare yourself, it's beneficial to review these words.

@ChadC "spit approach" is crazy lol
@ChadC 100% agree, was about to comment exactly that

This passage redundancy needs to be fixed J.Y. Our $ for value is really waning here.

I would recommend having a different passage to show this new approach to allow students to see which one was easier to adopt #feedback
Right. Getting an in-depth review of something we've already poured over doesn't make sense.

I agree with BenkoFromPetco. I typically just continue reading, and it helps me understand that particular part in the passage.

So glad that I’m not the only one doing this
Is there any benefit in watching these next few videos if I have already watched the split approach version of this same passage?
I don't think you need to watch these if you felt like the Split approach made sense.
The Split Approach is compelling and efficient. I'm anchoring on the Split Approach and moving on.
