gre argument9题目:
The following appeared in a memorandum from a dean at Omega University.
"Fifteen years ago, Omega University implemented a new procedure that encouraged students to evaluate the teaching effectiveness of all their professors(1). Since that time, Omega professors have begun to assign higher grades in their classes, and overall student grade averages at Omega have risen by thirty percent.(2) Potential employers apparently believe the grades at Omega are inflated; this would explain why Omega graduates have not been as successful at getting jobs as have graduates from nearby Alpha University(3,7). To enable its graduates to secure better jobs, Omega University should now terminate student evaluation of professors.(4,5,6)"
gre argument9提纲:
The dean provides no evidence about the number or percentage of Omega students who participate in the procedure.
The argument also assumes unfairly that the grade-average increase is the result of the evaluation procedure—rather than some other phenomenon.
The dean's claim that grade inflation explains why Omega graduates are less successful than Alpha graduates in getting jobs is unjustified.
The dean ignores other possible ways by which Omega can increase its job-placement record.
Merely terminating the evaluation system might not suffice to enable Omega’s graduates to secure better jobs.
The dean fails to mention the positive effects of the evaluation system.
The graduates from the two universities may not be comparable.
