issue50 by beetle1986 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." The speaker claims that all faculties should spend part (some) time working outside to improve the teaching quality at the college. I think (打死也别用think)this assertion is too absolute, we should consider this issue case to(by?)case. Admittedly, to work outside sometimes can help improve the quality of instruction. Teachers who work out can (tend to) know the current progress of society, and know that what kinds of graduates are liked by employers (are likely to be employed). After back to school, the teachers could change their teaching manners with working experiences to make the graduates more suitable to the employers. To some applied subjects, these experiences are absolute important. An exact example is that, the MBA course. Everybody knows the rules in books, but some people can attain brilliant success, while others are fighting for bread. It is mainly because that some students do not know the current situation of market, the rules of book is not meeting the real problems completely, so many MBA graduates failed at their first deal. If the teachers introduce (analyze) some market cases to these students, this failure would be reduced (avoid). However, some subjects, such as humanities and nature science, do not need (need not) work experience but the manner of thinking. On the contrary,the work experience would restrict the thought of both teachers and students. For example, to most students of physics, there courses are constituted with a lot of theory course, such as group theory, advanced quantum mechanics (牛) and so on, but these knowledge is still not enough if they want make some attainment in physics. To come up to their goals, they must read a lot of papers, think about the theories in the books rather than work outside the academic world. Furthermore, most Nobel Prize Winners in science denote their life in the library, if they are composed to work outside sometimes, their researches would be interrupted, and the attainments that could benefit human beings could not be worked out. So, to some subject, it is unwise to require the faculties(本身就是全体了) to work outside. Finally, even though teachers work outside can bring students work experiments (学生没有工作经验的吧) , the negative effects should be noticed. The main duty of teachers is to teach their students well, however, if teachers emphasis too much time (不要time) on work, the teaching would be undermined(?). Moreover, there are various methods to improve the teaching qualify. To some applied subject (?), such as MBA, the college can invite some successful enterprisers to give some speeches to students. It is much more effectively than reading textbooks of management. As far as some scientific subjects, it is wise to invite some famous scientists to talk about how they get these ideas. To sum up, the opinion of speaker is too arbitrary. It is wise that to require faculties work outside the academic world, but this is not the only way. We should design the most suitable plan to prove the teaching qualify based on the characters of each subjects. 先让步一段,接着两段自己的观点,结构还行,但是细节问题不少。 |
