Argument task - The following appeared in a petition presented by classen university students to the school's administration. The purpose of higher studies is to prepare students for the future, but classen students are at a serious disadvantage in the

Today's students are tomorrow's future. It is of paramount importance that the students acquire zenith set of skills and knowledge to become powerful citizens of tomorrow. The students at Classen university have put up a petition to make changes in their university curriculum for their advantage.

The future demands for superior quality students with higher education pro forma. The assumption that university's cumbersome requirements are the sole reason for their placement failures is erroneous. There could be many other factors governing the case. The ebb of the recruitments on the contrary may be because of low grades or insufficient practical skills and intellect.

The top rated schools have higher placement rates than Classen's is presented with such paucity of evidence that the possible success of top school's may be due to facts like : 1. They are much bigger firm's than Classen - paves more job opportunities. 2. It could have given admissions only to top grade students with high percentiles - thereby, greater chances of deserving students getting placed. 3. Possess superior trait of equipment, infrastructure and other facilities - which calls for more number of students enrolling with top school's. Is the success of top school's because of mentioned possibilities? If so, the success of Classen's university without the above possibilities would be in question.

Classen's students are required to take courses outside of their subject area. The reader might wonder what is the purpose beneath such an implication? If students ought to spend more than three and a half hours on trivial courses, how much more are they expected to spend on their core subjects? Does not this policy derange student's to score well in their core subjects? University's amendment needs to be useful to the students , not to be detrimental. However, the purpose is served better if the university's motive behind such an act is to prepare their students towards an overall development and to equip them with an idea on every aspect of work.

The students conclude by demanding to abandon the university's requirements is slightly slack. The others factors in question need to be thoroughly and genuinely examined before making such a demand.
