LR Question 15 Explanation, by LSATHacks

QUESTION TEXT: It is not good for a university to have class sizes that are very…

QUESTION TYPE: Strengthen

CONCLUSION: University class sizes shouldn’t be too big or too small. Teaching loads shouldn’t be too light or too heavy. 

REASONING: Crowded classes and overworked faculty are bad.

ANALYSIS: The argument has done a good job of showing that crowded classes and heavy teaching loads are bad. We also need to show that empty classes and light teaching loads are bad.

___________

1. This shows an advantage to light teaching loads.
2. This shows an advantage to under-crowded classes.
3. CORRECT. This shows that under-crowded classes or light teaching loads are bad things. 
4. This doesn’t tell us much. Light teaching loads could either be good or bad.
5. This shows that light teaching loads don’t help office hours. But this answer choice doesn’t show that light teaching loads are actually bad.
