Argu12
Fifteen years ago, Omega University implemented a new procedure that encouraged students to evaluate the teaching effectiveness of all their professors. Since that time, Omega professors have begun to assign higher grades in their classes, and overall student grade averages at Omega have risen by 30 percent. Potential employers, looking at this dramatic rise in grades, believe that grades at Omega are inflated and do not accurately reflect student achievement; as a result, Omega graduates have not been as successful at getting jobs as have graduates from nearby Alpha University. To enable its graduates to secure better jobs, Omega University should terminate student evaluation of professors.
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
This argument is well-presented at a cursory glance, it lays a conclusion that Omega University should terminate student evaluation of professors to secure a better job for their graduates, this perception is followed by the evidence that since the Omega University began to have students evaluate the teaching effectiveness of all their professors their average grades become higher than ever. Furthermore, the author does believe that the grades are inflated in light of the evaluation. and the author is convinced of the direct effectiveness of the job-seeking is the inflated scores, so he claims that the evaluation program should be terminated.Nevertheless, this argument is frail due to several flaw after the scrutiny, some evidence should be list out to make the conclusion more convincible.
First off, the conclusion is relied on the assumption that students’ risen scores are caused by the procedure of teaching evaluation, which is never supported by any concrete evidence, the most apparent deficiency in this argument is that the author fails to establish the causal relationship between the evaluation of professors and the increase of grades that professors assign to students. The sequence of the two events, in itself, does not suffice to prove that the former cause the latter. The situation might exist rationally that the students in Omega University working harder since then and obtain a greater grades. There is no evidence to substantiate that it is because the evaluation that the professors give inflated grades to students, this is partial not only for the professors but also for the students.
Secondly, even if the frailty mentioned above is supported by some ensuing evidence, a critical problem still remains that there is no cogent evidence provided to bolster the contention that the reason why potential employers do not offer the students job is because that they think their grades are inflated. What’s more, the author doesn’t point out that whether the Alpha University, which he takes as a preference, implemented the evaluation program. And we cannot allege that students from Alpha University are more likely to get a job because they don’t have inflated scores, the author even doesn’t elucidate whether Alpha University take the evaluation program, which is decisive in the comparison of the two universities in the rate of employment.
Thirdly, the conclusion that terminating students evaluation of professors could secure a better job for their graduates is not valid even comprehensive. Hitherto, many factors are involved in the job-seeking, such as the circumstances of economy as well as the prospects of their professions and so on. Many other external elements cannot be ignored in the judgment of the extent to which scores in college influence the success in job-seeking.
In retrospect, the author seems precipitous to jump into the conclusion based on a series of problematic assumption, some crux evidence should be list out some evidence such as if the risen scores of students are faked by the professors in light of the evaluation; and the author need to substantiate that the potential employers don’t offer students from Omega University because of the inflated scores; last but not least, terminating the evaluation would secure a better job for their graduates is a lopsided view. Pursuing this line of reasoning, the author should come to grips with the flaws raised above, only by enriching the evidence of bolstering the argument could the author make a convincible conclusion.
写完感觉很乱.
它的逻辑是 评价-浮夸的分数-找不到工作-所以取消评价.
不知道要用什么样的模式去攻击它.
我的逻辑是 分数并不一定浮夸.
就算浮夸,也没有证据表明雇主不雇佣学生是因为分数的浮夸.
就算是因为分数浮夸.secure job不是这一个方面影响的.
另外和它对比的ALPHA并没有表明他们没有浮夸,或者他们有没有评价教学这个环节.
求指点.. |
