▶ Your Answer :
In
this given set of materials, there is some discrepancy between the views of the
lecturer and the author over the issue of community service. With three cogent
explanations, the lecturer raises objections to the alleged negative
consequences of these services provided from students.
To
start with, the lecturer debunks the author’s first conjecture since it is
disputable whether assessment for student’s community services is impossible.
To elaborate in detail, the lecturer claims that school can be able to evaluate
these services fairly. When students participate in the program, they have to
fill out the form and it can be an evidence of assessment. This view is in
direct opposition to the author’s claim that schools not overlook the students’
community activity so it is impossible to evaluate their activities accurately.
In
addition, the lecturer also indicates dissent over the author’s idea on students’
attitudes toward these services. The lecturer sounds convinced that the author
is manifesting the error about the possible effects of doing community service
since these activities inspire students to help other people and it gives them
motivation to be those who help people in need later. However, the author
clarifies that the true essence of doing community service can be distorted by
forcing students to do community service for grades.
Thirdly, the lecturer goes on to expound that
the author’s final point on student’s rights is flawed. The lecturer mentions
other subjects such as assignments to corroborate this opinion. There are many
other things that are already being done without student’s agreement. However,
this counters the author’s theory that forcing them to do community service is
an invasion of students’ rights. Therefore, with these three convincing
explanations the lecturer sets forth, the author’s assuptions are all rendered
invalid.
