argument140 【aero小组第九次作业】 In this argument, the arguer recommends that Elm City University should increase salary of Professor Thomas by 10000 dollars and promote her to be Department Chairperson for fear of her possible departure from the university due to the injustice treat of school to her. To support this suggestion, the arguer rests on the fact that Professor Thomas has brought a large amount of money that have exceeded her salary to the university in research grants in each of the last two years. And, the arguer also assumes that she has an outstanding teaching and research abilities which are asserted that can be demonstrated by some reasons seeming superficially credible. However, in fact, this argument is much fallacious in several respects, primarily for some illogical assumption. C+E+V开头段很标准The first false assumption involves the assertion of the arguer that it reflects the popularity of Professor Thomas among students based on the fact that Professor Thomas led the largest class at the university. There lacks evidence to convince the existence of the necessary cause-effect relationship between the popularity and the fact cited that the latter is attributable to the former. Perhaps it was just the task assigned to Professor Thomas by the university authority that led the largest class owing to her high responsibility or the shortage of proper teachers not as a result of her popularity. It is entirely possible that she was not a bit popular with the students for varied reasons including her monotonous teaching method, mechanic stuffing of information, over-concentration and emphasis of the class discipline, the conventional and conservative atmosphere lacking animation and innovation. For that matter, it is unconvincing for us to believe Professor Thomas’s popularity among students merely by this fact.关于课堂人数多 The second false assumption is that the arguer assumes that it is the teaching and research abilities that contribute to the great sums of money she brought to the university in research grants. Actually, the fact fails to indicate Professor Thomas’s teaching and research abilities for the there is no connection can be established necessarily between the fact and those abilities appreciated. The immense sums of the money to school created or donated by Professor Thomas only reflect her admirable virtues of morality, responsibility and show her strong love and unselfish devotion of the university, which is impertinent to her teaching and research abilities. It is entirely possible that Professor Thomas has more teaching experience than the abilities that she possessed less. And maybe she didn’t participate directly in the research just because of her relative insufficient research abilities but still make a certain contribution to the results of the research. Without clarifying or ruling out these possibilities, it cannot justify those abilities by such a fact.关于科研经费 Even though she has a distinguished teaching and research abilities, there is no evidence that show s her requirement and will of calling for increase in salary and being the Department Chairperson and guarantee her competence for the position of Department Chairperson.关于提职 Another problem with (in) this argument involves that it is unwarranted and unreasonable to worry about that Professor Thomas will leave Elm City University for another college. The arguer failed to provide sufficient evidence to convince his or her anxiety. Since Professor Thomas has been the professor of botany at the university during 17 years and never complained the low salary and injustice treat, at least we cannot know her complaint according to the information included and implied in this argument; she will not leave the university probably because of her love of this school and students at the school. And if she resolvedly decided to leave, we cannot asset and recognize the recommended ways’ feasibility without more information. In short, the recommendation reveals many fallacies.关于跳槽 In sum, to better evaluate and to strengthen the argument, the arguer should provide more evidences that justify Professor Thomas’s excellent teaching and research abilities and information of her real will whether leave or remain这句看上去有点问题. Otherwise, we cannot believe this argument with so many problems.
