TOPIC: ARGUMENT242 - The following appeared as an editorial in the student newspaper of Groveton College.
"To combat the recently reported dramatic rise in cheating among college and university students, these institutions should adopt honor codes similar to Groveton's, which calls for students to agree not to cheat in their academic endeavors and to notify a faculty member if they suspect that others have cheated. Groveton's honor code replaced an old-fashioned system in which students were closely monitored by teachers and an average of thirty cases of cheating per year were reported. The honor code has proven far more successful: in the first year it was in place, students reported twenty-one cases of cheating; five years later, this figure had dropped to fourteen. Moreover, in a recent survey conducted by the Groveton honor council, a majority of students said that they would be less likely to cheat with an honor code in place than without."

提纲和全文都在这里
=========================================================
The arguer's suggestion that these institutions, evolving the dramatic rise in cheating, should adopt the honor codes similar Groveton's, basing on the decreasing number of cheating cases reported during last 6 years and a results given by students in a recent survey, is seemly well-reasoned, still remains to prove it's trustworthy.
The first suspicion arises from the decreasing number of cheating cases which were reported in last six years. On one hand, we don't whether the Groveton's honor code is useful for checking nowadays cheating cases. Maybe the means of cheating have totally changed from 6 years ago at the beginning of this honor code. While that the Groveton's honor code is only valid for the traditional cheatings may lead the decreasing number of such cases. Another hand, the question comes out from the people in this system including the teachers and the students. As for teachers, some of them may not report the cheating cases when considering the reputation of their colleges. It's different for students. The students who know such cases may not report since they want to have a good relationship with their cheating classmates. Even more, sometimes the cheating cases are not among several students but relative to a myriad of students. Who would like to report themselves at the risk of being expelled by their universities or colleges? The answer is obviously not.
Additionally, the arguer has not supplied the population of the survey. So it is rational to suspect the survey's results. How many people were asked in this survey? The result from few people is not trustworthy as that from amounts of people. Even the population is enough large, we want to know the sorts of these people. Whether the objects of the survey are rational? If only the students who do well in their achievements join the survey, the result can just reflect the performance of these students instead of the whole situation the colleges may face.
At last, even this honor code in Groveton works well, there is no one can promise it does the same in other institutions as these following reasons. First, we don't know the difficult degree in Groveton. If the test is easy to pass or achieve a high mark, nobody wants to cheat. Then the situation of the student's quality also plays a key role. What's more? The phenomenon of the college is anther unignorant factor. If a student in a college where all the students are shame for cheating, he may not cheat, otherwise he may be belittled by his classmates.
Above all, these suspicions stem from the vague background information. Without doubts, the suggestion can be sustained well by the more details in the true fundamental stone of decreasing cheating cases, the population in survey and people joining the survey selected from various levels. So that the hypothesis can be rational and the suggestion can persuade the readers. |
