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."

The author states that the Omega University's new policy has caused an inflation in the student
grades. To concrete her argument, she states that after instating this policy, students have stated
scoring higher, but the rate of getting job has subsequently decreased. To increase the credibilty
of the argument, the author provides the example of Alpha university graduates who have been
more successful in getting jobs. In my opinion, the author's argument seems unconvincing.

Firstly, the author asserts that there has been telling rise in the average of the students after
instating the policy. It might be due to the fact that students have are more intelligent than the
students ten years ago. The evaluation policy might have caused professors to teach better and
make more efforts students perform better in exams.

Author further states that the students are not getting successful in getting jobs, however, it might
be because the courses taught are not good enough to land jobs, o are not adept to the current
market conditions or trends. Market trends might have changed in the coourse of last fifteen
years, or there could be some shortage of jobs. To make it more credible, author could have
provided some data comparing the current and then market conditions.

Similarly, comparision with the Alpha university graduates seems unfair, as there might smallr
number of graduates than Omega. It might be that Alpha graduates were better than Omega in
landing jobs, before instating the student evaluation policy. It might have been because there
employment policies are better than Omega, or, simply, there courses are mopre in trend than
Omega. Author has noot mentioned whether there's some similar policy of student evaluation at
Alpha university as well. Author could have provided some ratios or old data to make solidify his
this claim as well.

Lastly, there's no survey from the current employees and students of the Omega university and
whta they deem of the students evaluation system. Author could have surveyed them and should
have deducated osme general consensus.

In sum, the argument is fallacious and requires more evidence than just some theoretical claims,
not topped off with the germane examples and evidences.
