Issue 30 Insgroupsto 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. Whether college faculty should also work outside academia, in professional work related to their academic fields, depends primarily on the specific academic area. 看到了吗？这就是看门见山的直陈式观点了。没有太多的扭扭捏捏，而且也不需要。 With respect to fields in which outside work is appropriate, I strongly agree with the statement; students and faculty all stand to gain in a variety of respects when a professor complements academic duties with real-world experience. 这一段要了解的一个词：stand to = begin to come to作者在首段就点明了个别问题个别分析对待，但是也不能忽视practical experience对academic world的重要作用。 As a threshold matter, the statement requires qualification in two respects.这一句可作为自己的开头句。First, in certain academic areas there is no profession to speak of outside academia. This is especially true in the humanities; after all, what work outside academia is there for professors of literature or philosophy? Secondly, the statement fails to consider that in certain other academic areas a professors academic duties typically involve practical work of the sort that occurs outside academia. This is especially true in the fine and performing arts, where faculty actively engage in the craft by demonstrating techniques and styles for their students. |
