50 "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."
I agree with the claims that faculties should spend more (不需要more吧)time keeping pace with the outside world in relevant courses they teach, which will improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level. However, it is (not)absolute to require all faculties to do this. For some fields like pure theoretical brunches, there is no need to work outside.(根据你后文的结构,最好开头可以提一下balance of time,提挈全文)
As we all know, the pace of technological advancement, social changes and academic progress are so rapid that knowledge contained in recently published textbooks often lags current developments. Students major(majoring)in politics, economics, finance or computer science are required to know what is going on recently on the subject(单独这一句不太完整,必须紧跟what is going on recently怎么样了呢? 最好再说出对于这些学生,require faculty to work outside很重要). Take computer technology as an example, the operating system, the cache or the USB device are updating all the time. You are still reinstalling your Windows operating system while others are trying to enjoy the new functions of Vista if you are ill-informed. (感觉这个例子不是很好,题目是说improve the quality of instruction at university and college level,你这个例子与instruction联系不大)Therefore, students will be beneficial from professors who are working in the processions outside the academic world, which may help the teachers to keep pace with the quick development, while the knowledge in the books somewhat lags behind.
Moreover, by keeping abreast with the changing demands of work as a professional, professors can help students who are serious about pursuing a career in that field to (语法错误help后没有to)make more informed career decisions. If the course is digressed from the need of real world the students may feel bored and uninteresting(uninterested)and can not concentrate on the lessons, which will make the lessons meaningless. In addition, practical working experience in the non-academic world relevant to their major will improve the faculty’s understanding of the courses they teach as all subjects are related to some extent. One professor in my university always compares machine components with human’s organ, which makes his explanation more clear. Even though the knowledge is unrelated to the course, we can open mind and view which may benefit in the future.
However, there is no need and unwarranted (这样并列不好,and 前后词性应该一致)to expand this broad claim to embrace the entire faculty in the college. For those who work in the pure theoretical field, such as mathematics, literature, history, philosophy, etc., they may find it difficult to combine their teaching with relevant professional fields and it is also meaningless to compel them to gain the experience in the practical work and it may distract them from the research and instruction work they should concentrate on(^^你可以试着自己读一下这个句子,太长了,而且三个and下来,感觉单调又没有必要). Newton proposed the Laws of Gravity when he was in the countryside where is far from the madding world, Kant founded the German classical philosophy while he never left his hometown—Konigsberg. It is foolish to suggest these people to working outside for their own thoughts are the greatest wealth of humankind.(例子很好哦~)
Moreover, the teachers who are not in the pure theoretical field should also pay attention to the balance of the time which they spend outside working and the time they spend teaching and researching (不如直接说strike a balance between)for the reason that spending too much time and energy will inevitably have some adverse influences on their teaching and researching. It is known to us that many professors in architecture take projects outside; there is no denying that they keep pace with (the)latest progress, but putting too much time on them (前面的projects已经挺远了,这里用them有一点指代不明唉)will make regarding class not so important. Some professors even request students work with them in projects which makes students stay up late even all night so as to too tired to take class, which does harm to both students’ health and studies.
To put it in a nutshell, some faculties should be required to keep pace with the outside world while others not. For those faculties who are essential to work outside, they are expected to balance well between working outside and teaching to make sure that the main time and energy is still on the education.
(恩,and用的有点多了,前后一定注意平行which引导的定语从句用的也多了,不是说定语从句不好,只是太多会显得有些单调,可以把其中一些改成状语,补语结构eg can not concentrate on the lessons, which will make the lessons meaningless可以改成making the lessons meaningless)
总体很好呢,论证得很充分~加油LZ!再把个别句子修饰下就好了~ |
