Went over the MIS assignment, how to find information online, defined financial terms, applied terms and concepts to analysis of financial issues, and formatted and graphed information and analysis.

We've come up with a pretty solid draft of the essay we've been working on. She is going to begin free-writing for her essay for the college she is hoping to attend, which we will begin working on next week. We will also put the finishing touches on the essay she's already written.

Reviewed 3 opinion pieces in the Atlantic, The Economist and the New York Times to practice identification of main points, premises and assumptions; learned principles of attacking main point, inference and flawed reasoning questions; worked on main point, inference and flawed reasoning questions

The student had taken one test over the course of the week and also did one extra section of games. He dropped a little in the logical reasoning but his accuracy in the game section is improving and he is getting more confident with it. We worked mostly on games and came up with some good diagrams for ones involving 3 sets of variables or more. We also went over some of the logical reasoning and talked out why the correct answers were correct. We will be meeting again in a week.

The student and I completed a comprehensive study of the arguments sections of the SAT. We followed the Princeton review methods for approaching each question type. I emphasized the importance of understanding and diagramming the arguments before approaching the answer choices, as well as the importance of understanding what each question type is looking for in an answer. We also covered validity in logical arguments and the importance of analyzing logical form when trying to comprehend an argument as a whole.

This was my first sessions with the student and it was held at her apartment complex's office area, which is a perfect location for meeting. During this session, we discussed her goals, study habits, and prior LSAT experience. We focused on the game section, completing 3 games from the practice test she had taken the previous weekend at my request. On this test, she scored a 149. Her goal is a 160, which, I believe, with a lot of work, is quite realistic for her.
