Universities
The article states that universities should focus on researches. It also provides three reasons to support the claim. However, the speaker explains that teaching methods are more important than conducting researches and refutes each of the author’s reasons.
To begin with, the writer insists that a position of a university in the national ranking system is highly depended on a number of made discoveries and published papers. Therefore, a university should pay attention to conducted studies in order to attract students with high rank. The lecturer, It is said in the lecture contends this point by asserting that the modern rank system takes into account the teaching performance rather than scientific success. According to the speaker, it is more beneficial to concentrate on teaching to reach a high rank.
What is more, the reading reports that researchers make professors and universities more famous and recognizable. These professors are called “Public intellectuals” and they raise the prestige of universities Whereas the listening asserts the main goal of professors is to make knowledge accessible for everyone. According to the lecture, this aim can be more likely achieved by focusing on teaching methods rather than scientific studies.
In addition, the article claims that professors who are conducting plenty of researches are better experts at their fields. It happens because studies allow being informed about every change of views. In contrast, the lecturer opposes this point by explaining that often good scientists are not good teachers. She provides an example of it: a well-known professor from her university is a bright scientist, however, he is not able to deliver a lecture.
