Analogy skill would play an important tool to assess the value of the material,
the expert always likes to use it to convince us to believe something.
was filled with the brand new bottle, and then you can sell the good price, the thought is still the same. Haha !!
Reasons + Conclusion = Argument.
Reasons come from :
a. Authority & Statistics :
Some researchers in the universities, government organizations or private corporations do certain tasks and then get ridiculous results (conclusions). The result will create "
Conflict of Interest ", and then we conceive the " Academic Freedom "...
b. Analogy :
c. Textbook :
Sometimes, the textbook is totally wrong.
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.
The university of Claria is generally considered one of the best universities in the world because of its instructors' reputations, which are based primarily on the extensive research
and publishing record of certain faculty members. In addition, several faculty members are
internationally renowned as leaders in their fields. For example, many of the faculty from
English department are regularly invited to teach at universities in other countries. Furthermore,
two recent graduates of the physics department have gone on to become candidates for
Nobel Prize in Physics. And 75 percent of students are able to find employment after graduating. Therefore, because of reputation of its faculty, the university of Claria should be the
obvious choice for anyone seeking a quality education.

Conclusion :
The university of Caria is generally considered one of the best universities in the world because
of its instructors' reputation, which are based primarily on the extensive research and publishing
record of certain faculty members.
Therefore, because of the reputation of its faculty, the University of Claria should be the obvious
choice for anyone seeking a quality education.
Evidence :
a. Several faculty members are internationally renowned leaders in their fields.
b. Many of faculty from the English department are regularly invited to teacher at universities
in other countries.
c. Two recent graduates of the physics department have gone on to become candidates for the
Nobel Prize in Physics.
d. And 75 percent of the students are able to fine employment after graduating.
Fallacy :
1. The fact that English and Physics have excellent minds on the faculty does not necessarily
mean that their teaching skills and their abilities to pass on knowledge and the love of
learning to their students are equally laudable.
2. The evaluation of the University of Claria is too brief, and too general.
3. 75% employment record is not sufficient to support the assumption that most of the
graduates of University of Claria can find the jobs they desire.
Rectify the Fallacy.
While the University of Claria appears to have an excellent reputations based on the
accomplishments and reputations of its faculty, one would also wish to consider other issues
before deciding upon this particular institution for undergraduate or graduate training. The
Physics and English departments are internationally known, but these are only two of the areas
in which one might study. Other departments are not listed; is this because on others are worth
mentioning, or because no other departments bothered to turn in their accomplishments and
kudos to the publicity office ?
The assumption is that because the English and Physics departments have excellent minds on
their teaching skills and their abilities to pass on knowledge and the love of learning to their
students are equally laudable. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. A prospective student
would certainly be advised to thoroughly investigate the teaching talents and attitudes of the
professors, the library and research facilities, the physical aspects of the departments in which
he or she was planning to study, as well as the living arrangements on or off campus, and the
facilities available for leisure activities and entertainment.
This evaluation of the University of Claria is too brief, and too general. Nothing is mentioned
about the quality of overall education; it only praises the accomplishments of a few recent
graduates and professors. More important than invitations to teach elsewhere, which might
have been engineered by their own departmental heads in an attempt to remove them from the
campus for a semester or two, is the relationship between teacher and student. Are the
teaching faculty approachable ? Are they helpful ? Have they an interest in passing on their
knowledge ? Are they working for the future benefits of the student or to get another year closer
to retirement ? How enthusiastic are the students about the courses being taught and the faculty
members who teach those classes ? Are there sufficient classes available for the number of
students ? Are the campus buildings accessible, and how is the University handling all those
cars ? Is the University a pleasant, encouraging, interesting, challenging place to attend
school ? What are its attitudes about education, students, student ideas and innovations, and
faculty suggestions for improvement ?
What about that 75% employment record ? Were those students employed in the field of their
choice, or are they flipping burgers and emptying wastebaskets while they search for something they are trained to do ? A more specific statement about the employment of students from this University is needed in order to make the argument forceful.
The paragraph given merely scratches the surface of what must be said about the University
in order to entice students and to convince them that this is the best place to obtain a quality
education. Much more work is needed by the public relations department before this can be
made into a four-color brochure and handed out to prospective students.
