The reasoning in the student's argument is flawed in that the argument
discusses the professor's stated criteria in order to draw attention away from the shortcomings of the student's paper
attempts to draw an evaluative conclusion solely on the basis of factual claims
takes a condition that is among the requirements for a particular grade to be a condition that is enough to guarantee that grade
is based on the report of a biased participant in the controversy
fails to make a necessary distinction between the professor's grading criteria and the objective criteria of a paper's quality
