PrepTest 112 - Section 4 - Question 15

Summary

Big classes and heavy workloads for faculty are bad for universities. Therefore, universities should not have either very big or very small classes, and should not have either very heavy or very light workloads for faculty.

Notable Assumptions

The argument’s premises explain half of the conclusion - they tell us why big classes and heavy faculty workloads are bad. The conclusion, however, also claims that universities should avoid small classes and light faculty workloads. We’re looking for some premise that would help explain why that’s also the case.
