5 Steps to Mastering the LSAT Logical Reasoning

5 Steps to Mastering the LSAT Logical Reasoning LSAT Law School Blog There are three basic parts to the LSAT Logical Reasoning question: argument question (what the test writers want you to figure out about the argument) answer choices Mastering the LSAT Logical Reasoning questions requires becoming comfortable with each of the three parts of the Logical Reasoning question. The best way to do this is to break up the question and address each part separately. 1. Read the question. Starting with the question helps you get in the right frame of mind for what you will need to do answer this question. It helps to focus on what you should be focusing on when reading the argument. Note: Does the question have the word “EXCEPT” in it? Don’t forget that! Underline, highlight, or circle it. Do whatever works best for you to draw your attention back to this word after you are done reading the argument. It is a common mistake to miss questions with “EXCEPT.” Students get tunnel vision when reading the argument and forget that the question wants them to find the answer that does not fit with the argument. So, reminding yourself of what you are really being asked to do will help you avoid making this mistake and help you get valuable points. 2. Read the argument. Read the argument carefully. Underline or highlight key words. Pay special attention to anything related to the question. For example, did the question ask about the conclusion? If so, pay extra attention to what the conclusion of the argument is. 3. Put the argument in your own words. What is the writer really trying to say? Put in plain English. Write a 1-2 line summary for yourself next to the question. This way you have a quick reference that makes sense to you, and you do not have to waste time rereading the argument. Also, the majority of questions focus on the conclusion or main point, so having a good handle on this part of the argument will always benefit you. 4. Put the answer the question in your own words. Before looking at the answer choices, answer the question yourself. A lot of the answer choices are lengthy or complicated. Putting the answer in your own words first helps you stay on the right track and not get confused. It can be difficult to put answers in your own words at first, especially for questions that ask you to weaken or strengthen the argument. The temptation is to think: “How could I possibly come up with everything that could weaken/strengthen this argument?” But don’t get overwhelmed. The point is not to come up with every possible answer. The point is to just get you thinking about the right things, so all you need to do is come up with one plausible answer. 5. Find the answer choice closest to your own answer. It is unlikely that your exact answer is in the choices, but chances are, something similar is. Use your own answer to help eliminate answer choices and help you select the right answer. The key to the LSAT Logical Reasoning questions is PRACTICE! The more you do, the more comfortable you will become with these questions. If possible, designate some time on a regular basis to do practice problems. It is better to do 5-10 problems every day than 50 problems in one sitting once a week. Your brain needs time to process what it is learning. You will get more out of your studying if you practice in small amounts on a regular basis than if you have cram sessions on weekends. Jayeeta is a private LSAT tutor in Chicago and Boston.

Simple Academic Strategies Part One

Simple Academic Strategies Part One Improving Academic Performance Acting strategically is a key to success in education, business, and, really life in general. Before starting MyGuru I was a business strategy consultant, so I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the process of developing strategies. For a business, a typical strategy development process consists of something like: Agree on a specific goal, for example, to double profit Gather a bunch of facts on your company, your competitors, your markets, and your customers Summarize your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, etc. Create some alternative courses of action which take all of the above into consideration Evaluate those courses of action using agreed upon criteria, such as: what would it cost, how risky is it, how long would it take, etc. Choose the best alternative course of action Develop a specific plan with a timeline and clear understanding of who’s accountable for performing each item in the plan Students, like businesses, need to employ strategies to be successful. It may seem obvious, but if you don’t set specific goals, understand exactly what is required to reach them, and develop clear plans for what you will and will not do to achieve the goal, you’ll be much less successful than people that do these things. Setting goals, researching what is required to reach those goals, and developing specific plans that lay out what you will or will not do, is the essence of developing a strategy. As we’ve discussed before on this blog in articles on the growth mindset and on deliberate practice, research shows that successful people aren’t smarter, or even harder workers. They tend to focus on the ability to improve (growth mindset), which makes them grittier, and when they practice, they do so deliberately. However, what they also tend to do is think more strategically about what they’re doing and how it will help them accomplish their goals. Let’s look at what this could mean for a typical college student on two different levels: #1 choosing your classes and #2 performing well in any given class. In this post, we’ll focus on choosing classes. In our next post, we’ll dive into acting strategically within the context of doing well in a specific class. #1 Choosing What Classes to Take Many high school and college students pick classes based on the requirements of their current major, even though they may not be 100% sure they really want to major in that area. They assume they have to choose a path, and then follow it. The decision to change paths later, which perhaps they could see coming had they really laid out their options, comes with a lot of stress and inefficiencies (i.e., another semester or year in college, etc.). They probably also tend to care a little too much about things like timing of the classes, how interesting the class seems to them, and what they’ve heard about it from friends. These seem like natural, and common, criteria. But, they aren’t that strategic or fact-based. A more strategic approach might be to recognize that you have a few goals you’re trying to meet when choosing classes: meeting the requirements of your major, meeting the requirements of another major you might decide to pursue, communicating that you have certain skills to potential future employers so you are an attractive candidate, and perhaps getting exposed to new ideas across multiple disciplines (after all, you only go to college once), as well as graduating in four years. And, perhaps timing of the classes, general interest, and recommendations also play a role. If you know you need to meet the requirements for your major, but also aren’t sure if you’re even going to keep your current major, then that presents an additional, special challenge. As you lay out your class options, you may notice, having thought fully about the goals you have in mind when choosing classes, that there are some classes which meet many of these goals: they fulfill requirements for multiple majors that interest you, they seem interesting, they make your resume more interesting to future employers, the timing isn’t too bad, etc. The way to notice this is to, like a business might, layout your goals, and perhaps prioritize them. Then, gather all the relevant facts. In this case, the facts that most students sometimes don’t gather are hidden in the course descriptions and literature about major requirements. By digging into these documents, you often find courses that fulfill requirements across multiple majors. You could imagine that a classed called “The Economic Role of Individual Governments in the European Union” might meet a requirement for a major or minor in History, Political Science, and Economics. But, you won’t know this without dong some research and gathering facts. Some simple online research about what types of classes impress certain types of employers is another area in which to gather some facts. If you have a hunch you might be interested in a career in consulting or finance, taking some math or statistics classes, at the margin, will demonstrate analytical ability. If you are considering a career in Marketing, psychology classes will demonstrate an interest in an area of knowledge that’s highly relevant for that career. Of course, there will always be tradeoffs. You could image there being a class which seems like a perfect fit for several majors, actually seems interesting to you, and is taught be a well-like professor. But, it’s only available at 8AM on Fridays. All things considered, you might want to take that class. Ultimately, you can just write down on a piece of paper a long list of potential classes, and then across the top of the piece of paper, write out a list of goals you’re trying to accomplish. If the class helps meet that goal, give it a check. To be able to do this, you will need to gather and reflect on the right facts. By simply thinking strategically about your goals and all of the reasons you might choose one set of classes over another, you can create options for yourself around choosing a different major in the future without needing to stay in school an extra year, or perhaps even earning an extra minor or major degree, while also positioning yourself to look good in front of future employers with specific class experiences that they value. hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, '6baac2ae-05a3-4610-9d1f-265c8cbd809f', {});

Yabla Review A Look at the Programs Video-based Learning System

Yabla Review A Look at the Programs Video-based Learning System Yabla Review: A Look at the Programs Video-based Learning System If there’s one thing we know, it’s that videos make great language-learning tools.You can listen to your target language being spoken.You can stop, rewind and slow down.You can add subtitles for reading practice.Plus, videos allow you to see a huge range of different scripted and authentic situations.And since everythings online these days, it’s all available at the click of a button!FluentU is all about making the most of video content to help you learn or improve a language. But of course, we’re not the only ones to see the value in this amazing tool.In this post, we’ll be looking at another platform:  Yabla.Yabla is an online language-learning tool that focuses on video content.The philosophy is simple: By using a range of original and authentic videos at all levels, language learners can practice their listening and learn new vocabulary in context.Yabla also features language games and written lessons to make the experience even richer.So, is this program right for you? Check out our Yabla review below to find out! Yabla Review: A Look at the Programs Video-based Learning SystemKey FeaturesVideosThe main feature of Yabla is its video content, currently available in six languages. In order to provide a rich and varied experience, theres a mixture of original content commissioned by Yabla and licensed content from other sources, including popular TV shows and films. All the videos contain native speakers, giving you a real authentic experience.For example, if you’re learning Italian, you might start off by watching two real people talking about their families. This could then be followed by a clip of an Italian detective drama  or a scenario that teaches you some useful business vocabulary.Each video is accompanied by subtitles in your language and your target language. You can switch these on and off as you wish. You can also click individual words that are new to you and see them translated into English.Lessons, games and vocabulary materialsW hile Yabla is centered on video content as a learning mechanism, there are also other features. What features you have access to depends on the language you’re learning.For instance, if you’re studying French, you can add to your learning by clicking on the “Lessons” tab. This brings up lots of short articles that focus on a particular aspect of the language, like different ways of translating the word when into French, depending on the situation. The written explanations are supplemented with clips from Yabla’s video library to help you see how the language is used in context.You can also play a series of fun language games and get yourself on the leaderboard for your chosen language. While you’re watching a video, simply click the Games button to access enjoyable activities like Missing Word to test your comprehension.Learners of Chinese, on the other hand, are given a different set of tools. These include a pinyin chart to help you understand the different sounds used in Mandarin, as well as a flashcard utility so you can memorize vocabulary.So how good is Yabla, really? Let’s take a look at some of the things it does really well, as well as some of the drawbacks.The Strengths of the Yabla ProgramRange of videosSome people think that watching authentic video content is only useful at higher levels, but thats simply not true! Theres a great variety of videos on Yabla, featuring natural language at every level. The videos come with a simple rating system from one to five, which means that you can see at a glance how difficult the content is.I also love how you can see a mixture of language-focused original videosâ€"both in acted scenarios and explanations to the cameraâ€"with videos taken from TV and film. This means you can still get the explanations you need as a student of the language but you can also feel like you’re watching the same kind of thing as a native speaker would watch!As mentioned in the introduction, Yabla isnt the only learn ing program to effectively harness videos for teaching a language. FluentU also strives to make authentic videos like music videos, movie clips and inspirational talks approachable to learners at any level.Seeing your target language as its actually used by native speakers is a powerful way to learn the nuances, rhythm and word usage in a way that you just cant get with content made for learners.SubtitlesThere are a lot of different views out there on the best way to use subtitles when you’re watching videos in a language you’re trying to learn or improve.Some people say that the writing draws your eye, distracts you from the spoken language  and prevents you from improving your listening comprehension, especially when you have the translation. Others, however, believe that seeing the subtitles can help you connect their sounds of the words with their spellings and meanings.The great thing about the subtitles on Yabla is that you can choose to have them in your target language, in English, in both or in neither. This option for customization is also present in FluentU and other video-based learning programs because it puts the learning decisions in the hands of the learner.You might find, for example, that the first time you watch the video you want to try to understand it without subtitles and then add them the second time so you can check how well you understood. Or you can do it the other way aroundâ€"the choice is yours!The other really useful thing about the subtitles on Yabla is that you can click on a word to bring up the dictionary definition and translation. You can also add it to your flashcard list for later revision.Video controlsWhile testing out this program, I was watching a clip from the TV series Il Comissario Manara  (Commissioner Manara) in Italian on Yabla. The main character speaks so fast! Luckily, I was able to use Yabla’s video controls to turn the speed down to 75% or even 50% of the full speed in order to comprehend it better.Th is is so useful when listening to authentic clips of native speakers. You can get into the rhythms of the language without worrying about losing the thread due to the pace being too fast.Embedded video clips in lessonsAlthough they’re not available in every language, the lesson-style articles are brilliant. By showing short clips of specific grammar or vocabulary, explaining them and comparing their usage, Yabla really gives you a feel for some of the nuances of your target language.You can take a look at these even if you’re not subscribed to the service. For instance, check out this lesson on German expressions of enthusiasm. The examples are given in English and German, and you just need to click on Play Caption to watch the clips.Yabla Features That Could Be BetterSelection of languagesWhile this is sure to develop in the future, at the moment Yabla only offers six languages to learnâ€"French, German, Italian, Chinese, Spanish and English.If youre learning Korean, Russian or Japanese and want to get a similar video-based experience, you can get that on FluentU. (FluentU also offers the languages on Yabla, in case you want a double-dose of video-based learning.)Other language learners are out of luckâ€"for now. Keep an eye out for new language offerings on both platforms!Cost of new languagesYabla requires a new subscription for each language. If youre signed up to learn French and then you think you want to take up Chinese, youll need to pay a second fee.This isnt a problem if you only want to learn one language at a time, but it’s a bit of a shame not to be able to explore alternatives without committing to them.You can always try out the language on another platform like FluentU, firstâ€"which does allow you to access all of its languages with a single subscriptionâ€"before you decide to sign up for another language on Yabla.Mobile accessibilityAt present, Yabla doesn’t have a downloadable app.  This means you have to rely on having an internet c onnection to practice.However, the upside of this is that the website is mobile responsive, so as long as you do have that connection then you can use your tablet or smartphone to study.  (If you really want a dedicated app, you can find FluentUs apps on Android and iOS and simply use Yabla at home and FluentU on the go!)What do you think? Has our review of Yabla made you want to try it out?All in all, despite a few drawbacks, the videos, games and lessons on offer make Yabla a really interesting way to use video content to drive your language learning in a fun and engaging way!

Dont stop the party celebrating the holidays while teaching overseas

Don’t stop the party celebrating the holidays while teaching overseas Don’t stop the party: celebrating the holidays while teaching overseas With Halloween creeping up, Thanksgiving right around the corner, and Christmas andHanukkah just about a month away, we’re sure all you teaching overseas are feeling a little nostalgic for your traditions back home. The holidays can be a tough time to be away from home. But the holidays can still be a special time of year to bring you closer together with your fellow teachers, your students, and there are even ways to still celebrate with your family back home! Make use of video chats With Facebook video calls, Skype, and Google Hangouts, it’s so easy to keep in touch with your friends and family back home during these holidays and get to see their faces as well. Because many of us look at the holidays as family time, don’t let distance stop you: make use of Skype to keep in touch and enjoy the holidays together. If you think you’ll miss Christmas dinner, ask your family to Skype you in! Calling all expats It’s a good thing to enjoy some of the festivities back home, but try to make new memories with your fellow teachers. It’s likely that they are in the same boat and miss their family time too. Find teachers that share your traditional holidays and recreate them where you are, however you’d like! Or make something new of the holidays: try and ask everyone to bring a dish from their home country for a Thanksgiving dinner together. Keep tradition alive Do you have a favorite Christmas movie? Did you love being the one to hand out candy to trick or treaters? Do you have one dish that you just love to eat every Thanksgiving? Email your family for any secret recipes, get your hands on a copy of your favorite movie, and invite your students to dress up on Halloween and bring them candy as a reward. Whatever activities you do to bring the holiday spirit out can be done abroad as well with a little ingenuity. Share with your students Your students probably know a little bit about your holidays, especially if it’s Christmas or Halloween. But they may not know much, and they’ve probably never celebrated it. Take this opportunity to teach each other something: ask them how they celebrate their holidays and show them how you celebrate yours. Many of your students will be really excited to show you something as personal to them as their traditions during the holidays and how their families celebrate. Let go Remember that if you feel really homesick, you’re on a contract teaching abroad for a limited time and that your hometown isn’t going anywhere. Maybe you’ll be back there before you know it. So make sure to make the most of your time teaching abroad. Sometimes it’s easier said than done, but try to get into the mindset of living in the present. Next Christmas dinner that you’re back home for, you’ll have all these awesome memories of your times teaching abroad to share with your family! So how do you plan to celebrate your favorite holidays abroad this year?

?? How to Ask Great Questions when Teaching

?? How to Ask Great Questions when Teaching How to Ask Great Questions when Teaching Questioning is at the heart of teaching and tutoring. Questions are the number one way inwhich teachers and tutors communicate with their students. Asking good questions meansraising the quality of communication between you and your students.One way to make sureyou always ask good questions is to have a set of questioning frameworks on hand. You canuse these to frame the questions you ask, helping to maintain a high standard, even whentime is against you.Bloom’s Taxonomy is an example we are all familiar with. But here are three otherframeworks you might not have come across:1) Concrete to AbstractThis method involves a gradual transition from one type of thinking to another, as opposedto a specific delineation of skills. That shift is from concrete thinking to abstract thinking.Here is an example:Concrete1) How many ducks are in the pond?2) What colour are the ducks?3) How are the ducks behaving?4) What are the relationships between the ducks?5) What might be influencing the behav iour and relationships of the ducks?6) Why might the ducks have come to be as they are?7) Is all human life mirrored in the vagaries of ducks?8) If ducks could speak, would we understand them?Abstract2) Show Me, Tell Me, Convince MeShow me: Use the phrase ‘show me’ as the command part of your question. You might ask astudent to show you what they have done, to show you how they have learnt something, orto show you what something means. The use of the word ‘show’ indicates this activityinvolves a basic level of thinking.Tell me: Using the phrase ‘tell me’ as the command part of your question means you aremaking greater demands on your students. You might ask pupils to tell you what they thinkabout something, to tell you about the structure of something, or to tell you about theorigins of something they have been studying. The use of the word ‘tell’ indicates thisactivity requires a deeper level of thinking than is the case with the word ‘show’.Convince me: Using t he phrase ‘convince me’ as the command part of your question makesgreater demands on your students. You might ask pupils to convince you that they are right,to convince you that something is the case, or to convince you that a certain course ofaction should be taken. The use of the word ‘convince’ indicates this activity requirescomplex thinking â€" beyond the level of showing and telling.When using this method, you can ask a number of questions based on each category; youdon’t have to limit yourself to one per section. You can develop the method by usingdifferent command words (explain, describe, persuade and so on).3) General to SpecificThis is where your questions begin with a general concern about some given topic or ideabefore gradually progressing to a specific element of that. Here is an example:What are your thoughts on climate change?What do we know about climate change?What effects might climate change have on the world?How might human behaviour connect to these possible effects?How might it be possible to mitigate these effects?What might a plan to alter the behaviour of people in the UK look like?What are the strengths and limitations of such a plan?To what extent do you agree that climate change can be reversed by attempting to alter thebehaviour of individuals?As the questions become more specific, so the challenge increases. Students have to giveincreasingly detailed responses, make more precise use of information and demonstrate amore developed understanding of the topic.Each of these questioning frameworks can be adapted to suit your needs, or used off theshelf â€" as in the examples above. In either case, the benefit is the same. You can beconfident in the quality of your questions as the framework takes care of this in advance.
