For philosophy we have to read short passages of text, usually under three pages, and then find the breaks. It sounds simple, but often the breaks you think are there after a first, second, or even third careful reading are not the ones you settle on later. After 3 hours on analyzing the arguments of 3 pages of Descartes, it turned out the correct breaks were best summarized as “intro, body, and conclusion”. Go figure.
