fails to specify adequately exactly how a course can teach students how to write

draws a weaker conclusion than is warranted by the strength of its premises

presumes, without providing justification, that what is true of a whole must also be true of each of its constituent parts

fails to consider the possibility that some students in certain majors may be required to take a philosophy course

draws a conclusion about all cases of a certain kind on the basis of evidence that justifies such a conclusion only about some cases of that kind
