LSAT Preptest 154, Section 1, Question 4

"Oscar: Clearly, student evaluations provide…"

Explanation

The core disagreement between Oscar and Bettina is the method by which teacher performance should be assessed. Oscar asserts the primacy of student evaluations, while Bettina suggests that immediate student evaluations may lack the long-term perspective necessary to fully judge a teacher's impact, proposing peer evaluations as potentially more effective.

A. Bettina does not argue that students are incapable of judging a teacher's performance, but rather suggests that their immediate evaluations might not be comprehensive. 


B. The timing of the change in students' opinions is noted, but it is not the crux of their disagreement. 


C. (Correct Response) Oscar and Bettina's disagreement is centered on the assessment method that provides the best evaluation of teacher performance. Oscar believes student evaluations are best, while Bettina suggests peer evaluations could be superior or a necessary addition. 


D. Bettina does not suggest omitting student evaluations entirely, just that they might not be sufficient on their own. 


E. There is no dispute about the timing of student evaluations; the discussion is about their effectiveness and sufficiency.
