The following appeared in a letter from a university career center to recent alumni:
While our school's recent job placement rates have been dismal, there is hope on the way. National reports show that the economy has added over two hundred thousand jobs this quarter, and the capital markets seem to suggest that the economy will continue to expand rapidly. With the surge in hiring, there is no question that your Columbus State degree will lead toward gainful employment in the very near future.
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.
MY RESPONSE:
The conclusion made by the author that there is no question of having a
Columbus State degree will lead toward gainful employment in the very
near future omits some important points that must be addressed in order
to have a logical conclusion. The statement which followed from the
premise that the National reports show that the economy has added over
two hundred thousand jobs this quarter, and that the capital markets
seem to suggest that the economy will continue to expand rapidly with an
increase in hiring does not constitute a logical basis for considering
the argument as valid. There are other reasons that makes the argument
above illogical.
Firstly, the argument have failed to give cogent reasons for the dismal
job placement rates the school had experienced in recent times, chances
are that the quality of the graduates produced by the school is way
below the standards of other school. That being the case, the future of
gainful employment for other alumnus of the school can not be
guaranteed.
