Use Contextual Knowledge Not recommended as you have to provide FACTUAL INFO related specifically to the issue)
Provide a Balanced Conclusion Conclude that given statement has 2 perspectives & provide resolution to the issue
- basically you have to state why both sides have merit, and why both are valid statements.
- for the disagree paragraphs, in this paragraph you need to include how you can SOLVE, or solutions that will help address the issue to improve the situation

Never ever end the sentence at “source A shows that xxxxx.” ALWAYSS ALWAYS ALWAYS right down “source A shows that xxx BECAUSE yyyyy”

Never combine sources even if you are rushing for time
2 reliability checks is better for full 10m instead of just 1
