LSAT Tip of the Week How to Read an Argument

LSAT Tip of the Week How to Read an Argument LSAT Law School Blog The Argument Section of the LSAT, also known as the logical reasoning section, is made up of 24 to 26 arguments. Helpful LSAT course sites like 7Sageusually include an entire section devoted to logical reasoning and arguments. The first step to answering a logical reasoning question is, surprise, surprise, thinking critically. Usually when we think of arguments, we think of heated or emotional exchanges between people. For the purposes of the LSAT, it is very important that you do not respond to the information presented in an emotional way. Your goal is not to agree or disagree with the content, but rather to analyze the strengths or flaws of the argument itself. You want to make sure that you understand the author’s conclusion and how they used evidence to form their argument. If you are able to understand HOW the author argues, you will be better prepared to answer the question at hand. As you try to understand the HOW, it is crucial to remember that it is usually pretty difficu lt to make a nuanced and full argument within the span of three or four sentences. This means, that usually there will be some gap in the author’s argument. As you read, train your brain to be on the lookout for flaws in the argument. Stay on the lookout for what the author is attempting to convince you of, how the author is using evidence to support their point, and where in the argument the author has failed in that effort.

5 Ways to Connect with your Online Classmates

5 Ways to Connect with your Online Classmates Image via Isorepublic.com Introduce yourself at the beginning of the semester Online classes usually start with a “get to know you” session that will allow you to introduce yourself to your new classmates. It is pretty much the online class equivalent of when professors go around the room on the first day asking everyone their name and major. Take advantage of this! Introduce yourself to your classmates by telling them your name, major, and your interests. You should definitely include your interests in your introduction, as it will make it easier to find friends in your online class. You never know if one of your online classmates loves the same band or TV show that you do! You should also respond to your classmates’ introduction posts if they mention something you are interested in. They will be glad to know they have something in common with you. If you want to connect with your online classmates, introduce yourself at the beginning of the semester, and respond to others’ introduction posts. Use the class discussion boards Class discussions can be an important part of a traditional class. Unfortunately, online classes don’t allow for this format of class discussion. For this reason, class discussion boards are important for discussions in an online forum. Participating in these discussions is good for your grade, because some classes will require discussion forum posts as assignments, and you might also be expected to respond to your classmates’ posts. These discussion forums are not only important for your grade, but also for your connections with your classmates. If you made friends during the introductions at the beginning of the semester, you can respond to their discussion forum posts, and they might even respond to yours! The class discussion boards are important for making friends in online classes, since online classes don’t allow for traditional classroom discussions. Follow each other on social media You might think it’s weird to follow people you don’t really know on social media, but if you have introduced yourself to a classmate during the introductions at the beginning of the semester and you have common interests, it won’t be weird! Communicating outside of the online classroom will help you form a stronger connection with these people. You can talk about things other than schoolwork, which will be quite a relief. So don’t be afraid to follow them on Instagram or add them as a friend on Facebook. (Later on, when you know them better, you can even exchange phone numbers and start texting.) You never know if these people will become your close friends! Have virtual study sessions Online classes can be very lonely, since it is not like a traditional class where you see your classmates three times every week. In a traditional class, you can easily ask your classmate if she wants to study in the library with you after class; but you can’t do this if you are an online student. There is something else you can do, though. You can hold virtual study sessions over Skype or FaceTime! It will be just like a traditional study session, where you and your classmates can work out problems or discuss the class material together. You will have the benefits of a group study session without physically meeting together. It will also, of course, help you connect even more with your online classmates. Schedule Skype study sessions before big tests, as it will help you not only prepare for the test, but also to make friends in your class. Meet up face to face If the online class is based in your local university, you might even be able to meet your online classmates in person! See if you can meet them for a study session (or even for lunch) on campus, especially if they physically take classes on campus (since they are likely to be there anyway). If possible, meeting one of your online classmates in person on campus will definitely help you connect with them. Online classes are convenient and great for many reasons, but they can get lonely because you don’t physically see your classmates. It doesn’t have to be that way, though! If you follow the tips I mentioned, you will make great connections with your online classmates.

Your library may even be more likely to have e-books in your target language if you happen to live in a region with a lot of native speakers.To get access to all these free e-books, all you need is a library card. You typically dont even need to visit the library itself. You can just enter your  library card number into the librarys online catalogue to browse e-books and download to your device.Of course, the specific process will differ depending on your library, but you can just call or visit to get a librarians guidance if necessary.If you have a Kindle, you can directly access public library e-books by following this procedure.Youll never accomplish all Thomas Jefferson did in his life. Youll probably never be on money. Your home may never be a tourist attraction.

How To Fix The Top 10 Cover Letter Mistakes Youre Making

How To Fix The Top 10 Cover Letter Mistakes You're Making Photo Credit: Rachael Cihlar/Trada.com 1. No Cover Letter.  This is one of the most common cover letter mistakes people make. Unless the company you are applying to specifically requests applicants not send a cover letter in with their  resume, a cover letter is needed. This problem has an easy solution:  write a cover letter. 2. Using a Generic Cover Letter. Using one general cover letter to send to each potential employer is lazy and shows you probably didnt follow the directions, as many companies ask you to answer specific questions in your cover letter. Also, by using a generic cover letter, you dont personalize your skills or mention the specific company. Having a rough cover letter template to use and personalize for each job is a much better way of ensuring your  resume is taken seriously and is a great way of avoiding this cover letter mistake. 3. Failing to Personalize.  Whenever and wherever possible, personalize your cover letter. Refer to the specific company you are applying to by name and dont just address your cover letter To Whom It May Concern or Dear Sir or Madam. By personalizing your letter, you show you have done your research into the company and know who will be considering your application, which is a subtle and good way of coming across as competent and detail-oriented. 4. Having Grammatical or Spelling Errors.  These common cover letter mistakes can be avoided by  proofreading, which is one of the most important things you can do before sending a professional letter in for consideration. Rereading your own work can help you catch mistakes you missed the first time around and spot places to tighten your writing. Also, writing in Microsoft Word or another writing application that has a spellcheck function is crucial as it will highlight for you where your spelling has gone awry. Lastly, check your grammar or ask a knowledgeable friend or family member to read it over for grammatical errors. 5. Hogging the Spotlight. Dont use your cover letter to just talk all about you; while this may seem counter-intuitive, potential employers want to read about what you will bring to their  company. So talk about your skills and accomplishments by writing how they would act as an advantage for you and be a  benefit to the business  if youre hired by their company. 6. Summarizing Your Resume.  Contrary to popular belief, a cover letter  does not  just consist of restating the contents of your  resume. The cover letter should provide a more in-depth look into who the company may be hiring if they employed you and you do that by talking about how your past employment experiences and skills would make you a good fit for the job (refer to #3). Photo Credit: iStockphoto 7. Handwriting a Half-Assed Cover Letter.  Writing a cover letter does not mean just scribbling a quick note or sticky to include before your  resume in your application. A cover letter has specific formatting and expectations that come with it and should never be handwrittenonly typed. 8. Formatting Incorrectly.  Your cover letter is a document being used to further your professional aspirations and should look like such. Your margins, font, font size, spacing, etc. should reflect that and relay to your potential employer that you take your job search seriously. Find a cover letter template structure you want to use and follow its layout when writing your own cover letter. 9. Sounding Desperate.  While of course you want to be hired, you dont want to come across as desperate for employment to companies. Do this by coming across as confident in both your abilities and their fit for the job you are applying for. Be concise and clear in your writing and while you dont want to hog the spotlight too much, you do want to make it clear in your cover letter that reading your  resume wouldnt be a waste of time and considering you for the position would be worthwhile as well. 10. Missing Information. Some of the most common cover letter mistakes are actually information left off of the cover letter. Failing to  include your contact information  or your signature could make the difference between getting a job offer or having your application end up in the rejected pile. Your cover letter and  resume could get separated so its imperative you include contact information, like your email address and phone number, on your cover letter. Search through the Uloop job listings to find your next Part-Time or Full-Time employment or Internship opportunity. Employers are waiting to hear from you!
