TOEFL Official Guide - Practice Test 2 - Integrated Writing - Professors on TV
The reading passage states that the professors who appear as guests on television have great benefits. However, in the lecture, the lecturer refutes this claim and opposes each of the reasons presented in the reading passage.
First, reading claims that these appearances on television increase reputation of the professor. On the contrary, the lecturer states it might not be good for the professor on the professional basis. She states that these appearances indicate a lack of seriousness, lower inclination toward scholarly work and predilection towards entertainment. This can cause professor lower funding for the research work.
Second, reading posits that television appearances help to get positive publicity, higher donation and increased applications of students to the university. Lecturer refutes this claim by indicating time consumption of professor in these activities. According to the lecturer, the more time professor gives to these appearances, the lower time he can give to research work, respective students, and the university academics. Ultimately, it is not beneficial for university and students.
Third, reading states that public gains knowledge and insight from the real expert. In the opinion of lecturer, the content which is shown on the television doesn't have depth and seriousness. It is just brief data and background related to the area which professor indicates. In addition to this, she believes that any television reporter with little homework can explain this information.
