Argument 238
The following appeared in a memorandum from the president of Mira Vista College to the college's board of trustees.
"At nearby Green Mountain College, which has more business courses and more(1) job counselors than does Mira Vista College, 90 percent of last year's graduating seniors had job offers(4) from prospective employers(5). But at Mira Vista College last year, only 70 percent of the seniors who informed the placement office that they would be seeking employment(2) had found full-time jobs(4) within three months after graduation, and only half of these graduates were employed in their major field of study(3). To help Mira Vista's graduates find employment(8), we must offer more courses in business and computer technology(6) and hire additional job counselors(7) to help students with their resumés and interviewing skills."
The president recommended that more courses in business and computer technology be set in the course scheduel and more job counselors be offered for sennior students. His advises were based mainly on the reasons that, Last year, senior students in he nearby Creen Mountain College got much better performance due to more business courses and more job counselors their college offered. The president also gave several evidences to support his claim. These evidences, however, in my mind, were suspected to some extent.
To begin with, the president failed to demostrate enough statistics to prove that their students had lower employment rate than Green Mountain College last year. That is because of the vague data used as his evidence. We were not told that all the graduating seniors reported their situation to the placement office, so the 70 percent of seniors cannot represent the overall graduating students. There would be posibility that a large group of students who found good jobs haven’t informed the placement office. In that case, we cannot got the real number of the employed students in Mira Vista College.
Another fallacious of the president’s claim is that, we did not know how long did the Green Mountain students took to find a job and how many of them got a job related to their major. He failed to rule out the possibility that the students in Green College took longer time in finding jobs than three mouths the students of Mira Vista College did .And much of them got a different major’s job too. Without accurate stastics, we can not draw any conclusion about the level of the two colleges’ graduating senior. Actually, neither of the two factors were very significant to evaluate the level of colleges’ graduating students.
Thirdly, he failed to take other differences into account when making the comparison between the two colleges. More business courses and counselors may not be responsible for Green Mountain College’s high emplolyment rate. Even this is the case, the same adjustment may not have the same effect on Mira Vista College. For example, their students were mostly talented in science or art, but not business. And they have already had enough counselors for their graduating seniors.
There are other messures that may be more effective for the College of Mira Vista College to improve their level of employment., but the president failed to take into consideration. For instances, set up more practical courses for the students to train their handskills. To invite enterprises to come to the campus to introduce the situation of the job market. Anyway, a good solution for a problem is always based on the most important reason that caused the problem. The president may make clear the reasons responsible for the unsatisfied employment rate firstly.
To sum up, the argument, while it seems logical at first, has several flaws as discussed above. The argument could be improved by providing more evidence that the correlation is indeed a causal relationship –that offering more business courses and hiring more cunselors contributes to the employment of Mira Vista College. The argument will be better assessed by finding a proper solution that based on the Mira Vista College itself, not just compared to the Grenn unproperly. |
