Issue13 46 70 102 112 140大学生除专业课外还应选修课
Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student’s field of study.
By arguing over whether colleges should demand every student to take a number of courses outside the students’ areas of study, I stand in line with approval of taking outside courses. Every course represents a new perspective to see through things and to provide a new solution to problems. In addition, subtle connections are buried between disciplines, waiting to be discovered by students. This is quite conducive to their understanding and their brand new application of the knowledge from different disciplines. Finally, since many disciplines now require varying know-how from different courses, students must be requested to take a variety of courses for erecting their edifice of knowledge. In this sense, courses outside student’s field of study have great merit.
Students by learning different courses can acquire diverging perspective to see through problems. Adding up cognition in an additional field is to add up a brand new angle of providing solutions. Regarding how the disaster of the Great Leap Forward came into being, diverging answers can analyze this calamity well and sound and find ways to get rid of it next time. Scholars of political science might step forward saying that the exceeding centralization of power into Chairman Mao’s single hand can account for the catastrophe in that no one was able to check and disabuse his whimsical and ideal thinking. Economists pour their attention on the unbalancing of light industry and heavy industry that lead to the campaign, while psychologists focus on restive mental condition of both the top brass and the public at that time in the hope to surpass America and the Great Britain. Here we can see that on a single matter of events, three areas of studies can put forward three answers for the left-wing campaign. The more we can learn, the more perspective we can have and the more comprehensive our understanding can be. In stark contrast, for those illiteracy who went through that catastrophe, they can do nothing more than vilification, nor can they give solution to prevent that fiasco from happening again.
Between disciplines, there are subtle connections buried in them. For example, science has something to do with metaphysics from philosophy, where many top-notch scientists finally find the similar sense in both disciplines. By studying different courses from different disciplines, students have that opportunity to find those similarities between them. It is conducive. On one hand, those connections can be of great help for their understanding, promotive to their clasp of those pieces of knowledge in different classes; on the other hand, those connections permit students to apply them together to create brand new disciplines. Conflation of knowledge often open up new muse and thinking pattern for people, like nanometer technology is the brainchild of engineering, biology, physics and chemistry. Just consider that without influence of biology courses, how can those scientists come up with applying engineering things into level of nanometer?
Nowadays, what kids learn in high school is disjointed with what they are about to learn in college. Many things they have learnt in middle school are so rudimentary to have function in college studying. Economics for example, in higher level of studying, give more and more attention on mathematics instead of theories. So it requires students to have ability to deftly use knowledge in Calculus and Algebra, which are never in the reach of freshman. As a result, it is quite necessary for students to take a great number of courses in their university studying. For another thing, one more courses can give an additional opportunity to know that discipline. Oftentimes, as they are inchoate and immature, college students might mistakenly have chosen a major they don’t love. Taking other disciplines can give them opportunity to know and make a decision whether they will choose that field in their graduate study. Students can change to areas where they love to strive for making an achievement.
