3. Professor Thomas的工作不一定值得大学给他加钱和提升（从两点来说）
4. Professor Thomas的在教学和研究方面的工作能力受到了质疑（从两点来说） 5. 总结
The arguer asserts that if the Elm City University doesn't provide a raise in Professor Thomas' annual salary and a promotion to Department Chairperson, Professor Thomas will leave Elm City University for another college. In order to demonstrate his argument, the author illustrate with the popularity of Professor Thomas' among the student and lots of funds which has been brought to the university. At first glance, the argument seemed to be somewhat reasonable, further examination reveal several flaws.
The major problem with this argument is that there are no evidence that can firmly show Professor Thomas will leave the university without the raise and promotion. Firstly, the word "we fear" apparently reveal that the conclusion is just the author's subjective idea. Secondly, as is known to all, the academic atmosphere is more significant for a professor than the money and position. So the raise and the promotion may not be the main reason for Professor Thomas to leave the Elm City University. To sum up, we can't get the conclusion that without the raise and promotion, Professor Thomas will leave Elm City University for another college.
Furthermore, we have to doubt whether Professor Thomas' demonstrated teaching and research abilities worth the raise in her salary and the promotion to Department Chairperson. In the first place, we can't get the summing-up that Professor Thomas is the most excellent person among her department .If somebody can have the equal ability in teaching and research or be superior to her, the raise in her salary and the promotion to the Department Chairperson will cause discomfort to others and became a controversial issue. In the second place, to be a chairperson will need not only be an model in teaching and research, but also the capability to manage the whole department. And the author fail to prove us Professor Thomas have the ability to leader the whole department. In conclusion, a $10,000 raise and a promotion to Department Chairperson may be too much for Department Chairperson' ability.
Finally, many fallacies exist in the grounds of argument also. In one place, the cause and effect relationship between she having the largest class and the popularity among students is open to doubt. There are other alternatives for her having the largest class like her subject is compulsory for most students .In the other place, by comparing to her seventeen years' career as a professor of botany, the last two years’ achievement in research grant can't totally substantiate him as an excellent researcher.
In summary, the evidences cited in the analysis are not persuasive and the argumentation is not cogent also. In order to make this recommendation more convincing, the arguer have to take the fallacies above into consideration .and make it be more complete and logical.
