Analysis of an Argument
#14
Question
The following appeared as part of a newspaper editorial:
“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 the buy more computer, and all school in the district should adopt interactive computer instruction throughout the curriculum. ”
Discuss how well reasoned …etc
The arguments that this interactive computer instruction in three academic subjects virtually solved the problem of dropout rate and impressive achievement in college omit come important concern that must be addressed to substantiate the arguments. The statement that follows the description of what this interactive computer instruction will do simply described the computer instruction and achievement. This alone does not constitute a logical argument in favor of the interactive computer instruction and certainly does not provide support or proof of the argument.
Most conspicuously, the argument does not address the relation of the introduce computer instruction and some achievements. First, the argument has assumption that interactive computer instruction can decline dropout rate. But if the cause of the achievement is not the interactive computer system, the computer system was not related the achievement at least. Second, the argument state that the impressive achievement in college. However, it is not clear what kind of achievement and what does not provide the contribution of the computer instruction. Third, the argument states the future budget that the school board should buy interactive computer instruction, and all school in the district. But if the all school in the district was not the same situation, the plan would not work properly.
Because, the argument leaves out several key issues, it is not sound persuasive. If it included the items discussed above instead of solely explaining what the interactive computer instruction supposedly does. The argument would have been more thorough and convincing.
I'm tired...

Today, I wrote a essay for GMAT practice,
because I am taking the GMAT tomorrow.
This task is too difficult for me to precisely write in 30min.
In future budgets the school board should use a greater portion of the available funds the buy more computers, and all schools in the district should adopt interactive computer instruction throughout the curriculum.
The arguments that this interactive computer instruction in three academic subjects virtually solved the problem of dropout rate and enabled impressive achievement in college omits some important concerns that must be addressed to substantiate the arguments.
The statement that follows the description of what this interactive computer instruction will do simply describes the computer instruction and achievement.
Most conspicuously, the argument does not address the relation between introduction of computer instruction and some achievements.
First, the argument makes the assumption that interactive computer instruction can reduce dropout rate.
But if the cause of the achievement was not the interactive computer system, the computer system was not related to the achievement in the least.
Second, the argument states that the impressive achievement in college occured.
However, it is not clear what kind of achievement and it does not prove the contribution of the computer instruction.
Third, the argument states the future budget of the school board should buy interactive computer instruction, as with all schools in the district.
But if the all schools in the district were not in the same situation, the plan would not work properly.
Because, the argument leaves out several key issues, it does not sound persuasive.
If it included the items discussed above instead of solely explaining what the interactive computer instruction supposedly does.
the argument would have been more thorough and convincing.
