8.8Whatis the main role of the university professor, to educate students or to doresearch?
When it comes to the argument that which is moreimportant for a professor, to educate students or to do research, some maychoose the former one, based on the reason that the occupation itselfis toteach.Personally speaking, the opinion is flawed, sinceteachers in high schools and primary schools, instead ofprofessors in universities, are askedto teach the students what and how to study. Judging from the flaw, I hold anopposite view that the main role of professors in university is to do researchfor three reasons listed as follows.
To begin with, almost every professor in universities applies fora found to support their research. If they spend most of their time to educate, they willnot use the money efficiently, especially when the study is based onsome statistics, which are hard tocollect and changing in a rapid speed. Just imagine a professor, who focuses on theeconomy field having some research to do and whereas he has several homework tocorrect.[1]The statistics about the prices of some stocks is about to changing in a secondand he has to supervise the trend and analyze thestatistics in order to finish his paper. Under such circumstance, spendingtime to educate means a waste of money. [1]Just imagine a professor, who is carrying out a research in the economy field,but has several homework to correct.
In addition, considering the problem mentionedabove that there has to be someone to teach the students, the teachingassistant, at this time, can show off his usage[我知道你想表达的意思,但是show off应该是炫耀、卖弄的意思,放在这里并不合适]. Since theprofessor are busy in doing his research and the teachers in highschool have taught students the ability to study, the only thing for theteaching assistant is to assign tasks, such as the required reading andhomework, and correct the mistakes in their homework. Statistics in a survey organized by ChinaDaily shows that, in my city, about 80 percent professors ask their teachingassistant to help them teaching and over 70 percent people stand by suchbehavior.
What is more, professors spending most of their time on research canbenefit the university itself and whole society when taking a look at both theshort and long term.[2] Doing research can benefit the university by increasing the amount of published papersin short term, and gaining a reputationin long term. while as for the whole society, more research results meansa fully use of fund in short term and a more rapid development in long term.That is the reason why spending more time on doing research can benefit boththe university and the whole society.
[2] Professors, whospend most of their time on research, can benefit the university itself andwhole society in both the short and long term.
To draw a conclusion, I consider that main role ofthe university professor is to do research since it can make a fully use offund andcontribute to the university and the society. Besides, teaching role can bereplaced by the teaching assistant. 读完你的首段,就看出这一定是准备过GRE考试的人,有通病啊,我也是 我们怎么都特别喜欢写长句子? 这点得改啊。 最好的方式其实是,长短句结合。或者啊,在长句里面多加几个逗号,这样比较方便读,要不显得特别难懂。 而且,可能是你写的很仓促吧,所以出现了一些名词单复数的问题。 能力有限,我就这样了~~ |
