9 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. 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. 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. To enable its graduates to secure better jobs, Omega University should now terminate student evaluation of professors."
第一次 对着 电脑 思考狗狗, 一点思路,也没有。 挺麻木地一段一段的直接敲进来的,估计,这是 对着 电脑的真实水平. 跟手写的水平, 差远了. 55555555555555!! 好象很差劲啊。
但是还是要贴出来 受砖——让自己记住这个惨痛的下午!!
请大家不吝赐教! 谢谢!!
提纲:
1: the grades at Omega 是否真的inflated, 很怀疑。(grade averages 可能显著 提高了,也可能没有)
2: 找工作的不利,不一定 是the grades at Omega 的情况所影响。
3: terminate student evaluation of professors,就能让 毕业生的 就业状况有所改善??
Giving some analysis and some evidence, the author alleges that Omega University (OU) graduates would secure better jobs when OU terminate the student evaluation of professors. Credible as it is on the surface, closer inspection will unclose the hidden flaws in several respects in the argument.
Primarily, one would wonders about whether the student grade averages of OU are in fact inflated. Maybe the student grade averages are not raise anymore. The 30% dada fails to support that after implementing the procedure the student grades are assigned higher by professors. Is the grade averages compare to the lever of fifteen years ago or the lever of last year? As no evidence about this contain in the argument, a possibility cannot be excluded is that compare to the lever of fifteen years ago, the actual lever of the grades presently increased little, even though a 30% increase seems significant. In this case the grades at Omega are likely do any effect on the OU graduates. Even assumpes that the grades has increased by 30%, it can hardly indicates that the evaluation is responsible for the increasable. Perhaps OU professors do effective jobs.Or perhaps OU students' grades are rise while they work harder than before. Hence, without ruling out this or other possibilities, the author's conclusion is unconvincing.
Next, even if the grades at Omega are indeed inflated, the author also fails to conclude that inflated grades at OU serve to the unsuccessful of the graduates finding jobs, relative to the graduates from Alpha Univesity. It is largely possible that the specialities in OU are not satisfy requirements in the job market. Lacking enough evidence to support, the auther cannot alleges that graduates from OU cannot secure better jobs as effectively as Alpha University graduates' based on the analisis abovt.
Additionaly, the arguer assumes that OU graduates would get better jobs while OU terminates the procedure eveluating the effectiveness of the professors. However, there is not enough informention in the argument to advocate the assumes. As admitting the fact that OU specialities do not fulfill the job market and this fact is due to the unsuccessful in getting jobs for OU graduates, it is possible that terminating the eveluation of professors do little even any affect on the OU graduates. Even admit that the unsuccessful is caused by the inflated grades, there is any evidence to support the assume that the employers would employ the graduates from OU.
To sum up, based on the lack of more effective information in argument, I would not accept the conclusion that the students of OU would get satisfy jobs if the OU stop the procedure that evaluated the teaching effectiveness of professors. Far more detail analysis and reliable evidence should be exerted to offer information showing that OU student grade averages are in deed inflated, and showing that OU graduates would obtain better jobs while this procedure is terminated.
