Self-study
Hello all. Just finishing the SA question module in the Core Curriculum, and it's kicking my butt. I'm wondering if it's best to basically start it again from the beginning and really try to grok it, or push on and come back later in the hopes that it will make more sense.
Or maybe it's like any new & intense thing: you start out blazing but at some point you hit your first plateau, and you either have to take a break and come back fresh, or just grind through it. Thoughts?
Which answer, if true, most strongly supports the weary student's concerns? :)
Does the same "negation test" that works for Necessary Assumptions questions work for Sufficient Assumption Qs? For a NA Q, you negate the answer choice and see if that destroys the argument. Maybe for SA Qs, it's more like if you negate the answer the choice, the argument is not "destroyed" but is simply not guaranteed? Or is this just introducing more complexity than we already have, as I'm still struggling with this question and the issues it raises. Maybe the better approach for SA Qs is just to keep it simple and take the answer choice as-is and see if it guarantees the conclusion? Thanks.
