第一篇写 ISSUE 13:
Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study[compelling reasons,建议类]
(46[specific circumstances,建议类],102[possible consequences,建议类],140[both of the views,是非类]
70[reason,因果+建议],112[considerations,是非类];70和112都谈到truly educated的概念)
解题思路:
1 建议类: - specific circumstances (universities are equipped with the budget, facilities and faculties to provide a well-rounded courses selection; a multiple courses requirement can help student to find interest and better understand his or her own major; a diversified knowledge background is acknowledged among employers in the job market.)
- possible consequences (help student to obtain compound abilities or become dilettante dabbling in a hodge-podge of a academic offerings; make graduate become more competitive when finding a job or pack them with non-persuasive abilities which would seem redundant.)
2 是非类: 充分鉴定truly educated的概念,truly educated means specialization in one field, multiple related knowledge and abilities and independent wisdom as a citizen all at the same time.
3 因果类:truly educated 的途径是否只有take a variety of courses in the universities?学生也应该通过intership, volunteering, practise or even open a new company等多种方式达到educated的目的。
提纲:strongly support
1 能帮助学生习得复合知识,帮助对本专业理解,也帮助学生现实世界中获得成功
2 帮助学生找到适合自己的专业
3 帮助学生成为独立思考的公民
4 反驳最强objection:大学有社会义务培养符合社会就业需求的人才;大学有这样的义务,但它更肩负着培养改变社会、影响社会的复合型人才。
If you walk around any of the universities of science and technology in China these days, like my university, you would encounter every student, striding on road in campus between classes, shares similar curriculum with others: nearly all of them have advanced mathematics, most of them computer science and it seems that everyone is trying to learn at least one kind of languages of coding to command the computers and try to access to the virtual world. And since these courses also come in great help once students enter the job market, courses like the humanities or liberal arts cannot survive in here.
However, from my point of view, I strongly vote for the argument that universities should require their students to take various courses from different disciplines, both humanities and science. Because it is the diversified academic offerings that determine a true well-educated graduate after four years and eventually a civilized citizen.
First of all, because a student who is just accessing the college might not be very known about his or her own interest and what would end up after rigorously training in a major, the administration of college should require a diversified curriculum in the first or second year for the student and help him or he to wind up specified interest with reasonable consideration later on.
What's more, courses like psychology and sociology in college which are outside the study scope of a typical science and technology major student , can facilitate the understanding of his or her own major to a greater extent, and help he or her to become success in the real world, in which knowledge from multiple disciplines is indispensable. A student who is majoring in computer science these days must be well acquainted with the story about the success of the Facebook. Apart from his genius with coding in the developing process, Mark Zuckerberg is also a master of understanding people's need. The interface and usage settings of the Facebook are not only innovative but also considerate and friendly. And it is these functions, not the coding lines, that eventually help the Facebook to attract the later 10 hundreds million users around the globe. Mark's excellent ability of anticipating and catering users' need on the social network reflects his precise grasp of people's psychology, which must deprive from his diversified knowledge of psychology and sociology.
Lastly, since a university acts as an institution nurturing citizens for the society, multiple rather than one value like science should be gained . The qualifications of a citizen border on the person's ability to reflect on various subjects, like law, economy, politics and so on. Therefore a comprehensive courses selection and the requirement for its students entailed should be a requisite for every university.
However,the strongest objection towards this argument come from doubt that students in the universities have to make practical choice between acquiring techniques that can enhance their competitiveness in the future job market and knowledge like the literature of 18 century France or the study of Socrates, which would definitely not qualified as a persuasive ability for the employer. And universities should hold certain social responsibilities to help with the employment rate in the economy. Nevertheless, it should be well aware among our society that a diploma of bachelor or master degree from colleges does not symbolize a qualification of the production of a "human product" which is able to make economical profits to the society, but convincingly indicates a graduate's potential to produce ideology profits in the world, in other words, he or she not only fit in the world, but also is able to change the world. What's more, a university should not take up the role as a long training program providing employment populations to the real world. it should offer knowledge and imagination at the same time. Thus, there should be no doubt against a universities' attempt to suggest its students to take varied courses to combine their techniques to their imaginations and eventually bring about innovations which are far more profitable to the economy.
From all of the reasoning above, I stand by with the argument from the topic.
