diagramming
why Mehran in the video opted out to combe quantifiers with S & N? First thing I noticed when reading the passage was that Rules 1 and 2 are there "pushing" me to make the learned deductions. Obviously, diagramming the deductions resulted in a lost of precious time. Any suggestions as to when not to diagram S&N and quantifiers even if the rules materialize?

Thanks for the question! Personally speaking, if the logic chains are very simple (I assume using some kind of logic chain is what you mean by the rules materializing, though feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) and you understand and have a good grasp on what the passage is saying, it’s less necessary to diagram S&N and quantifiers. For example, if there’s only one “layer†of logic, such as :
A A —> B
When it gets more tricky:
~B A —> B ~A —> ~C D —> C
is when I would definitely start diagramming. Generally speaking, if the passage is short and I can easily keep everything in your mind, I sometimes won’t diagram. But if it’s a longer passage, even if the logic is relatively simple, I might still jot down a quick diagram to serve as a memory refresher so I don’t have to read through the stimulus again.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
