0910G【Try Best】第二小组 ARGUMENT242 by vane5433

In this editorial, the author recommends the institutions adopting honor codes similar to Groventon's. To support this recommendation the author cites the following facts: the number of cases of cheating reported per year reduce to twenty-one from thirty after the college adopting of the new honor codes, moreover, after five years, it drops to fourteen. Meanwhile, a survey also shows that the students in Groveton College are less likely to cheat. Close scrutiny of each of these facts, however, reveals that none of them lend credible support to the recommendation.

First and foremost, the number of cheating cases has dropped do not necessarily indicate that the honor codes works effectively. Perhaps the whole circumstance of study in the college is better while has nothing to do with the honor codes. Or perhaps many of the students who cheat in the exam are not caught out. Even if all the cheating students are reported, maybe the examinations of the college are easier, the students can do the examinations well by themselves without through the way of cheating to get a marks. In short, without ruling out other possible reason for explaining the jumping of the number from thirty to twenty-one in the first year the honor codes was in place, the author cannot convince me on the basis of them that the honor codes is effective.

Secondly, the drop of the cheating students' number after the honor code is adopted five years later accomplishes nothing toward bolstering the recommendation. For the reason that the quality of the students in the college certainly changes in the five years, maybe the higher entrance level leads to the better quality of the students among whom there are few tend to cheat in the examinations.

Thirdly, the survey mentioned in the editorial is conducted by the Goveton honor council, which has intimate relevance with the validity of the honor codes. Thus, the truth may be covered and the result of the survey is inconvincible.

In sum, the recommendation relies on certain doubtful assumptions that render it unconvincing as it stands. To bolster the recommendation the author must provide clear evidence----perhaps a integrate survey conducts by an irrelative organization----that indicates the validity of the honor codes and so forth.

In sum, the recommendation relies on certain doubtful assumptions that render it unconvincing as it stands. To bolster the recommendation the author must provide clear evidence----perhaps a integrate survey conducts by an irrelative organization----that indicates the validity of the honor codes and so forth.
