Finding the tone of the passage (attitude) is the most difficult type of questions to answer.

this was a Very nice video with good examples.

[liltimmyw]

The videos you guys do are extremely helpful! I can't thank you enough!

[redroot08]

Very helpful video, appreciated the examples.

[Jleve13]

This was an informative video, but almost too short to understand if not paying attention fully. I did enjoy the examples given about neutral and negative tones. It will help when reading a book, and understand the point the author was trying to make.

[yellowfedora]

Good, informational video. Solid concepts. Also I like his sweater.

[nikkilu5555]

Very Interesting, I will definitely pay attention to this while reading to see if I can tell the "author's attitude".

[dove2679]

Though this guy sort of looks stoned, he makes the subject completely easy to identify what the author is really implying

[jblakeslee]

Cool. gave a little insight into an authors mind.. will have to watch out for that when reading my books!

[jungleshadowmk]

Short but helpful! I just wish their were a couple more examples, as I find those really help to solidify the concepts for me.

[katliztux]

This lesson is beneficial in understanding and authors tone. Suggesting key adjectives to help determine the tone is helpful in recognition of the tones.

[chuckdiesel]

very good video for my kids

[wwhisnant]

The teacher is great - he looks like a graduate student - he knows the subject and can explain it very well.

[mystik00769]

Good video. Very clear and precise.

[phantom7173]

great explanation and love the examples

[historytrivia001]

This video makes me want to grasp a book and decode the secret meanings that are embedded in words. I wish I had this video when I took AP English classes in high school. When I was in high school, I had to do analysis of short stories in many of my essays. I had to explain the connection between tones and dictions in the stories.

[Versulas]

Great job, very visual, easy-to-understand techniques.

[dshin3]

very helpful

[MarisaCarlucci24]

The video was informative and easily explained.

[gywlsdks]

This is a short, basic way to teach about author's attitudes in their writings. Of course, this topic can be explained much more elaborately, but you did a great job just helping students understand this topic in a simple way.

[dannjam2515]

this would be a great teaching aid for adults or children

enjoyed the usage of tone in this lesson, the ability to understand tone based upon word selection is pretty important - wish more people understood it.

[stebdude]

[carpenternyc]

[mysconnie]

This is good information, generally speaking, but I don't think scrawny is a negative word!

[indrapramit]

A excellent and educative video. Thanks a lot for sharing. This will make the topic a whole lot easier for people taking the GMAT.

[monogloop1]

It makes sense, although it would be good to see more examples of actual GMAT sentences to show how different words have different tones. But, overall, good lesson!
