P1 Diagramming

In the video, I noticed you diagrammed the first sentence into two premises. I diagrammed mine similarly but kept it as one premise. Why did you split the diagram into 2 premises? Is it necessary, if so, what is the key I would be looking for to do this on another problem. Here is how I diagrammed mine. P1: SC and CSH ---> not PSUNC PSUNC ---> not SC or not CSH

@Kellan there is no difference between the following:

(1)

A & B ==> C
not C ==> not A or not B

(2)

A ==> C
not C ==> not A

B ==> C
not C ==> not B

Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

LOL there is absolutely no way to get through that in a 1:24 fml

@Wyatt it is natural to feel this way when you are first getting started.

In fact, your timing actually gets worse before it gets better, because you will be applying new strategies/techniques that you are not super comfortable with just yet.

This is precisely why we emphasize worrying about getting them right before you start worrying about getting them right under the time pressure.

Trust in the process. Be methodical now to ensure the proper foundation as you progress with your prep. Your timing will eventually catch up.
