@AaronKamauJr you were going to be too cool as a lawyer, so you got nerfed </3 you'll still be a cool lawyer!! just with allergies HAHA

So our instructor DIDN'T find a unicorn in Scotland? :/ we have to cancel our flights, guys

I think it'd be wonderful to have, in the instructions of these assignments, a list of everything we should be looking for and a disclaimer that not every question will have every element. It's a little disheartening to feel like you've identified every element of the current lesson - object clauses, for instance - to have a curveball that you didn't identify referentials or modifiers!

@brandenesrawi Tyler Kolek, the hero of New York!

It seems that in some of these lessons, we're attempting to strip down sentences into the bare-most elements. Even if it doesn't make perfect, everyday English sense to say, "physicists were puzzled," for instance, we're learning the skill of highlighting each element of grammar so that we can fully grasp these elements. It's hard, introspecting on grammatical rules we've held our entire lives!! Be gracious and patient with yourself!

Ohh, self-references! we like callbacks to sacrificing goats to idol busts of Disney deities.

WE MADE IT PAST THE FIRST MODULE WOOHOO!!! give yourself a pat on the back and some ice cream as a reward 🙂‍↕️

Something that I'm working on overcoming is working through these questions too quickly. For some reason, I'm getting in my own head and believing that these practice questions are strictly timed, but frankly, we're only a few hours into studying, so we should be focused on comprehending the fundamentals rather than working with the efficiency of a master; that'll come once we have the basics down! Give yourself grace and understanding!

Dune mention!! Anyone watching Dune part 3 in December?

You're doing amazing and you got this! Believe in yourself and give yourself props every time you show any signs of progress; advocate for yourself fiercely!

I'm noticing a lot of mention of the context of reasonability and what a reasonable person would perceive, and this is very lawyerly; criminal cases are aimed to prove innocence/guilt beyond a reasonable doubt according to the expectations of a reasonable individual, for instance. It's very encouraging to see a tangible concept related to our profession being brought up so early; it makes it feel all the more real and achievable!

@HannahKim704 oh i think you're going to be the lawyer to save us. thank you, goat

@Ryo omg right I forgot they're adults and allowed to curse for some reason AHAHA

@madeinkeaven okay the next tab spoils this HAHAH nevermind, we have our answer

Interestingly, I feel that this example of tigers as pets has the conclusion come before the premise; I identified, "Not every mammal is suitable to keep as a pet," as the conclusion of the argument with the evidence being, "... tigers are very aggressive and can cause serious injuries..." Did you interpret this the same way? Am I way off base? Are we both way off base meaning tigers are actually incredible pets?

Hi, everyone!! My name is Kevin, and I'm a poli sci major at ASU!! Feel free to reach out and connect with me if you're from AZ, or even if you're not AHAH we all could use more friends!! 🙂‍↕️

@AleshaneeWebb Hi Ally, I hope you crush your LSAT!! It's comforting to find another AZ (prospective!!) lawyer, I hope ASU law treats you well if it's where you plan on attending!

180 LSAT sounds very nice but I think we should all be striving to get as many likes as possible on 7sage comments. i know my priorities
