"Two years ago, Nova High School began to use interactive computer instruction in three academic subjects.
The school dropout rate declined immediately, and last year's graduates have reported some impressive achievements in college. In future budgets the school board should use a greater portion of the available funds to buy more computers, and all schools in the district should adopt interactive computer instruction throughout the curriculum."
Discuss how well reasoned ... etc.
In this argument the author assumes that, Nova high school has reduced the dropout rate and got some excellent achievements because they have started using interactive computer instruction in three academic subjects for two years. The conclusion cited that, they will use more fund for buy new computers and all others schools should use the same way to get similar result. However, this argument is flawed because it fails to supply sufficient information is favor of authors conclusion.
Firstly, the argument readily assumes that the low dropout rate and last year’s impressive achievements are the result of using interactive computer instruction only for three academic subjects. This assumption is incomplete because they did not mention the actual number of subjects. So, it is almost impossible to measure the accuracy of the fact without knowing the number of subjects those are available at that school. For example, if the school has more than fifteen subjects so using interactive computer instruction only for three academic subjects will be a minor effect for getting an impressive result. Hence, to prove that assumption we need actual number of subjects those are available at that school.
Secondly, the argument also implies that the school is planning to use more fund to buy more computers and suggest that all others school should do the same thing. This could be a harmful decision if they consider only one factor. No doubt is it one of the good facts of getting impressive result but a school has many other strong facts that are more impactful for getting excellent result. Such as, number of bright students, teaching materials, number of teachers, study environment etc. Therefore, without considering these facts the school should not take this step.
In light of above unsubstantiated assumption and poor evidence, the argument is flawed. It could be considerably strengthened if the author mentions the number of subjects available at that school. Also, the author needs to considers all of the above facts before taking the fund rising decision. Nevertheless, if the aforementioned concern are not addressed the argument will remain unconvincing.

Hi. I have used an auto-grader by GMATAWA and the end score was 6 out of 6! (5.79 out of 6 technically) but that scales up to 6!
Great job!
