指导
本题改编自老GRE的ISSUE94"Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study because acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly educated"。题目讨论大学生学习范围的问题,题目认为应当要求学生学习本专业以外的其他课程。在分析的过程中,可以从本专业学科和其他学科知识对学生的生活学习和工作的正负面影响、不同知识之间的相互作用、教育培养学生的目标和需求、不同领域不同环境下分情况讨论等方面展开思考。
1. 请列举你的专业课程,以及你选择的非本专业领域的其他课程,并分析这些可课程对你的意义。
回答:
微电子工艺,光电子科学与技术
网络技术
这些课程有助于开拓我的思路
2. 从大学生现在以及以后的学习、工作、生活的各种需求来看,哪些能力或者知识是他们需要具备的?这些知识和能力需要通过怎样的教育形式来获得?
回答:
交流沟通能力、合作能力、独立思考能力。
交际沟通能力和合作能力需要通过各种活动历练出来,而这些往往是工科学生所缺乏的。
3. 仅学习自己专业领域的课程对大学生来说是否足够?如果是,请说明理由;如果不是,这样的行为对大学生的发展有哪些局限性?
回答:
不够,这不利于学生以一种正反的批判式的视角来思考问题。
但遇到一件棘手的问题时候,我们倾向于利用我们独有的专业视角来判断问题,而这一判断往往是错误的。
4. 自己专业领域外的其他课程可以带给大学生哪些影响?(可从正面影响、负面影响以及直接和间接影响来考虑)
回答:
正面:开拓思路,有助于工科学生从整理把握项目。
负面:无关的课程太多,增加了学生的负担。
5. 社会如何定义“人才”的标准?大学教育应该如何设置课程才能更好地培养“人才”?请举例说明。
回答:
人才:独立思考,自主学习的能力。

The speaker
prefer a variety of courses outside the student’s field of study instead of a
narrow curriculum. I agree insofar as a variety of courses will be a complement
for student’s field of study, which will broaden the horizon of the students.
At the same time, however , the students should have the rights to choice the
extra courses that he will take.
A variety of
courses would pose certain problems, which might outweigh the benefits, noted
above. First of all, extra courses would inevitably lead to a large number of
assignments , which will gain mount of burden to one who was extremely interested
in his major. He would choose to cut a class to do what he love. It’s obvious
that extra courses were detrimental to them. Besides, who would be the final
decision-maker that which course would be included or excluded? In all
likelihood theses decisions would be in the hands of professors, who were also specialize
in a narrow filed. How could they make a list of courses to fulfill the demand
to give a overall view about all discipline.
However, A
variety of courses outside the student’s field of study will beneficial in a
number of respects. First of all, by providing a variety of courses , a common
courses would help ensure that students grew up to be reasonably informed ,
productive members of society. A supplement courses will ensure that all
students get a comprehensive view about the society and personal function. Elective
courses may explore the interests of students, subsequently, leading to their
great success.
Secondly, a
variety of courses would facilitate the development of all aspects, as our
society propose a high demand for our students. What is so called talent? A
talent is absolutely not someone who merely special in his major. On the
contrary, a talent in modern society should have good communicational skills, ability
of critical thinking, speech ability, writing ability and so on. How can a
student acquire all of this by his field of study? That’s impossible.
Finally, the
flexible courses provide a opportunity to who were not interested in his major.
A freshmen often can’t make a advisable judge about his major. By taking extra
courses, he could find his interest and make a decision about his future. Major
courses might not allow for this feature, and students may fell frustrate in
his major as a result of lack of interest in his major.
In
the final analysis, exclusive professional education would amount to a
double-edged sword. While it would serve as an insurance policy to guarantee in-deep
study of one filed, at the same time it might serve to obliterated generalist.
The optimal education approach, in my view, is a balanced one that imposes a
basic curriculum yet leaves the room for students’ choice.
