大学学习的好处被过分的高估了：大多数人如果通过研究和阅读的方式自学四年的话，会比追求一个大学学位学到的更多。

Disagree

1. Schools offer systematical curriculum, qualified staff, libraries, facilities and so on, which are not available to individuals who study on their own.

2. Studying with peers arouses competition and cooperation. Compulsory studies avoids laziness.

3. Qualified degrees help get a job offer more easily.

4. However, degree does not mean everything. It is just a symbol. Even if you have a college degree, you still have to work hard in order achieve career success.

大学和自学

为了改善大学的教学质量，所有的教员都应该被要求花一定时间到学术领域以外去参加和他们所教科目相关的工作。

Position:

Working experience in relevant professions enables college and university faculty to offer practical instruction to students.

1. First, faculty who are actively engaged in their fields come to class with fresh insights and contagious excitement about the issue at hand.

2. Secondly, 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 make more informed career decisions.

3. Thirdly, experience in the field can help a professor ferret out cutting-edge and controversial issues—which might be appropriate subjects for research and publication.

4. However, the teachers in some disciplines such as mathematics, literature, history, philosophy, etc., may find it difficult to combine their teaching with relevant professional fields.

教育只有被专门设计来满足每一个学生个人需求和兴趣的时候才是真正有效率的。

Student-oriented education is the most effective way to help students learn.

1. The traditional teacher-oriented education often neglects the individual needs and interests of each student, which proves counterproductive.

2. Student-oriented education can most effectively involve individual students in the learning process.

3. Nonetheless, winking at students’ unreasonable desires would only result in chaos in education.
