7. 12 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement that colleges or universities should offer more courses to prepare students for the future before they start working
University is no longer a fresh word for students nowadays, especially for those who have dreams of pursuing higher education. However, when connected with working in the future, the concept of education seems to be colored with the feeling of ‘tool’, which is harnessed to earn money. In such circumstance, I totally disagree with the statement that colleges should offer more courses to prepare students for the future before they start working. The reasons are as follows. To begin with, the majors that students are interested in have already provided them with knowledge and skills that prepared for future working, and the more courses that university offers will certainly not be attractive. For instance, a student whose major is mathematics is busy enough studying his own lectures, which will fulfill his curiosity for knowledge. Working in the future for him is doing research, deploring further in this area. Therefore, there is no need for them to have extra courses specifically for future working. What’s more, even though there are students with various interests, they are offered proficiently with numerous courses in other fields that can be chosen from. Obviously, the extra courses will be nothing but a waste of university’s money. In addition, the more courses may bring great pressure to students, which will have negative effects on their career in the future. The heavy burden that university students take now is obviously not a secret anymore. They have to finish a great number of papers, assignments, prepare for class discussions and exams to keep up with the professors’ steps. Therefore, if more courses are placed on their shoulders, terrible result may come out. Students will have a great tendency to mislead the college purpose, abhor the new courses strongly, and finally lose their mere interest and favor for it. The whole plan that university makes will backfire absolutely. I concede that the argument is on the correct philosophical side of this issue. After all, more courses certainly expand students’ view and broad their horizon. The extra choices might evoke the students’ truly inner interests, which will adjust their life goals and build up a wonderful life career. However, such students are limited in campus, and the opportunities that university provides can be substituted by other already existed forms, where students could feel free to solve their major problems. Hence, the idea that having more courses for future work is needless. In sum, I disagree with the statement that students should accept more courses preparing for future work, because of the already-existing complete education regulation, the extra heavy burden that it may bring about, and the huge amount of money and education sources it may waste. |
