Professors are normally found in university classrooms
Both the reading and the lecture are about professors’ appearance on the TV with academical themes. In his commentary, the author argues that professors benefit from performance on the TV. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. She claims that neither professors, nor public gain from the TV interviews with academic colleagues.
The first contradicting point is the reputation, which professors obtain from their performance on the TV. The author of the reading states that speakers on the TV may acquire additional reputation not only for themselves, but also for the university itself from much wider audience. This point is challenged by the lecturer who says that the professor who appears on the TV may obtain reputation as non-serious. Thus, the professors may harm their reputation and loose an opportunity to attend important meetings with academic colleagues.
Another controversial issue is the question whether schools receive indirect extra credit from the popularity of their professors. The author asserts that schools obtain popularity among public while their professors appear on the TV shows, leading to an increased level of donations and applications from teenagers. The lecturer rebuts this argument, suggesting that the preparation for the TV show may lead to a leakage of professor’s time from schools’ general activities. Thus, instead of making any research, the professors are busy delivering content and preparing themselves for the show.
The third aspect of the debate is the attendance rate among interested parties, who are unable to speak with professors on their own. The author of the reading puts forth the idea that public is unable to meet professors in person and that TV shows could act as an alternative for those interested in academic themes. The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that the knowledge is not fragmented and that the general reporters on the TV have all the relevant data for public.
To sum up, the author of the reading and the lecturer have fundamentally different point of views. While the former believes that TV shows are useful, the latter contends that its’ significance is greatly exaggerated.
