Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

I've arranged the argument into premisses and conclusion, P1: Pop quizzes make a lot of extra work for teachers C: It doesn't make sense for teachers to give pop quizzes to their class P3: might be an example of the moralistic fallacy The conclusion could follow from the premiss, 'Students do not need pop quizzes to motivate them to prepare for each class' as this indicates that there is another way to do it that might not involve the unwanted consequences indicated in P1 and P2. The conclusion does not follow from, 'Students should not need...' For it to do so would require your niece to assume that if something should be the case, it is.

This is a should argument (or value-based ). This means how strong or weak the argument is, is based on the value one assigns the pros and the cons. So extra work for professor and nervous students are the cons. What are the pros? Weighing those require a value judgement. I see no fallacies here. |
