TOPIC: ISSUE50 - "In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach."
WORDS: 421          DATE: 2006-12-22
提纲：A. 课外工作促进教师理解自己的专业
            B. 教师的课外工作最终会使学生在工作方面受益
            C. 课外工作过犹不及

The speaker asserts that all faculty should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach, and this can improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level.
I agree insofar as all faculty should spend proper amount of time in relevant professions. However, in my view, excessive outside work may bring negative effect to the instruction.

First of all, the statement that faculty should spend some time working in non-academic world in professions relevant to their major is quite compelling. Working experience in non-academic world contributes much to connect theory to practice, and it will improve the faculty's understanding of their majors. Without the connection between theory and practice, teachers' understanding of the courses they teach may stay only in books, which impede them to get close to the truth. Thus, spending proper time in the non-academic world in relevant professions will bring better effects.

On the other hand, students are the direct beneficiaries if their teachers have the experience of working outside the academic world in relevant professions. That's because teachers will benefit from the work experience, and they will impart what they learn from practice to their students. As s result, teachers' experience will help students adjust from campus to job station. In other word, these skills that could not be acquired from books would contribute much to students' future. Accordingly, faculty's work in non-academic work relevant to their major is indispensable.

However, I disapprove the statement because it do not put forward a explicit conception that faculty should spend how much in those work. Although spending some time in non-academic world will benefit both teachers and students, going too far in outside work will bring undesirable results. A teacher should study his or her major well first, then to do some work outside the academic world but relevant to his or her major. If a teacher going too far in outside work, just like an old saying says, put the cart before the horse, he or she won't do well in his duty. Therefore, going too far is as bad as not going far enough.

In sum, I concede that all faculty should spend some time in relevant professions in non--academic world. However, the speaker overrates the importance of the outside working. Going too far does harm to one's duty. In the final analysis, in order to improve the quality of instruction, faculty should spend proper amount of time working outside, but not going too far.

First of all, the statement that faculty should spend some time working in non-academic world in professions relevant to their major is quite compelling. Working experience in non-academic world contributes much to connect (好像没有contribute to do 这种用法) theory to practice, and it will improve the faculty's understanding of their majors. Without the connection between theory and practice, teachers' understanding of the courses they teach may stay only in books (superficiality), which impede them to get close to the truth. Thus, spending proper time in the non-academic world in relevant professions will bring better effects.
