Highlights

Tonight’s class covered Paradox, Strengthen, Weaken, and Necessary Assumption, Parallel Flaw, Flaw, and Conclusion questions in Logical Reasoning. Nathan demonstrated that by reading carefully, you can often predict the answers.

In Reading Comprehension, Nathan stressed the importance of engaging with the text as if conversing with the author. He advocated reading slowly to improve both understanding and enjoyment. Careful reading also allows you to move quickly through the questions: when you clearly understand what the author has said, the questions answer themselves.
