Would it be beneficial to avoid 1st person language in the LSAT writing? I noticed that he used "I" and "We"-- I learned that using these words makes the writing less formal. Is that something that is universally implied, or is it specific to how I was taught?
#feedback This may be included in lessons later one; however, I think it would be beneficial to give a real-time analysis of how someone would solve this problem while taking the test. I know that with practice, we will become faster at answering these questions-- but using the logic in these videos is quite time-consuming and will not be efficient while taking the test. This could maybe be involved in the "review" lesson?
I have been approaching the strengthen/weaken questions with a different approach than he has introduced in these lessons, and it has seemed to work out so far. For this question, I was able to get rid of answers if they seemed to focus on the premises or could possibly help the conclusion-- rather than note that they addressed the structural issues in the stimulus. I got C correct because it seemed to state an opposition to the conclusion. I have noticed this for the weakening questions -- that the answer choice cannot exist within the stimulus as it is stated.
Does anyone else think like this? I am worried that this thinking may not be as helpful as it has seemed to be so far...

I do think this section would really benefit from visuals, either from graphs or a video.
It really helped me understand this concept using Venn diagrams. One large circle is "Almonds grown in California." Another circle that takes up around 90% of the first circle is "produced for domestic consumption" and another circle that takes up around 90% of the first circle is "require intense irrigation to produce." With these three overlapping circles, it would make sense that some foods produced for domestic consumption require intense irrigation to produce.
#feedback I wish at the end of these explanation videos, he would show us in real time how he would solve these problems on the test. I find myself using this logic while doing the test, but it takes way too long, and I have not found a way to compress the explanation into 1 minute.
