Educator: Few problems faced in daily life can be solved most effectively, if at all, by applying knowledge from any...

Our author thinks that since people are rarely ever able to solve problems by using a single discipline, we should abandon single discipline classes in favor of interdisciplinary ones. Like all argument we see, this is a bad one. The author seems to assume that because I am taking a math class and a physics class, I would not be able to use the math I have learned and apply it in a physics context. In other words, the author fails to consider that people are not stupid, and are able to apply things they learn about one subject in a different context.

To strengthen this bad argument, we would need to prove that my objection is not correct, which is what C does.

E slightly weakens the argument, it gives us reason to think that the classes the author advocated for would not be effective in reaching their goal.
