Questions for this week

1. The increase in the number of newspaper articles exposed as fabrications serves
to bolster the contention that publishers are more interested in boosting circulation
than in printing the truth. Even minor publications have staffs to check such obvious fraud.

The argument above assumes that

1. newspaper stories exposed as fabrications are a recent phenomenon.
2. everything a newspaper prints must be factually verifiable.
3. fact checking is more comprehensive for minor publications than for major ones.
4. only recently have newspapers admitted to publishing intentionally fraudulent stories.
5. the publishers of newspapers are the people who decide what to print in their newspapers.

2. Time and again it has been shown that students who attend colleges with low faculty/student
ratios get the most well-rounded education. As a result, when my children are ready to attend
college, I'll be sure they attend a school with a very small student population.

Which of the following, if true, identifies the greatest flaw in the reasoning above?

1. A low faculty/student ratio is the effect of a well-rounded education, not its source.
2. Intelligence should be considered the result of childhood environment, not advanced education.
3. A very small student population does not by itself, ensure a low faculty/student ratio.
4. Parental desires and preferences rarely determines a child's choice of a college or university.
5. Students must take advantage of the low faculty/student ratio by intentionally choosing small classes.

• Educational loans Guide

Almost anyone and everyone who goes for an international MBA uses an educational loan. Here are some facts about educational loans that might be of help.

In India, educational loans are provided by SBI, SBT, Corporate Bank and Vijaya bank. These banks give you a loan up to 15 and in the special cases up to 20 lakhs for a period of a maximum of 8 years after the course.
Some basic things you have to know before hand are that the rate of interest at all these banks are 12.5% (ouch!!) per annum. This rate is compounded semi-annually at Simple interest during the period of study and at compound interest after the course. (I ll leave the mathematics for the comments)
You can take up to 6 months of delay after your course to start repaying the loan. If you do not have a job, then this time is extendable up to 1 year.
