Homework Help: Thinking Critically

Posted by Katheryn Hy on Monday, July 11, 2011 at 7:00pm.

Identify the premises and the conclusion I know there’s a chance this guy might be different, but the last person
we hired from Alamo Polytech was a rotten engineer, and we had to fire
him. Thus I’m afraid that this new candidate is somebody I just won’t
take a chance on.

Right.

Her conclusion since she found one bad engineer from this school, that it's likely that others won't work out either.
