It seems to me that there is a mistake at 1:23:34, where you write: "Passing a college course is a sufficient condition for getting an A in the course." Based on your explanation, it seems to me that it is a 'necessary' condition, isn't it, please? In any case, congratulations and thanks for this very clear and generous super course! Thank you!

In simple non inferential passages, can C be classified as opinion statements? Also could you please differentiate between loosely associated statements and a belief or opinion?

In the example, The sun sets earlier in winter than summer, because the Earth's axis ... Can't we say that the Sun sets earlier in winter than summer is an Implicit inferential claim and what comes after BECAUSE is the factual claim? Hence the statement is an argument?
Also you rock! Just found you. I am determined to finish this course. You explain really well.

Professor Fruhling, "Is seven plus three, ten? " Is this a question or a statement?
