TOPIC: ISSUE50 - "In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach."

Although the academic theories and knowledge are fundamental for researching and instruction for colleges and universities, taking together with practical experiences and skills undeniably serve the best way to help students to shape the abilities to survive in the realistic and pragmatic world. In terms of the way gaining such qualities, the speaker advocate spending working time outside the academy, which somewhat, I concede it is one of the approach but definitely not the only and the best.

To begin with, my proposition is that the practical experience, indeed complement the academic world. Notoriously, instead of basic science research, nowadays most of the research and study are almost benefit driven, aiming to turn the research results into a ways, models or even commercialised products to be beneficial to human society. This tempo, more than possible will continue in the foreseeable future and our young students and earlier career researcher such as PHD and master students need to follow and well-adapt. Consequently, hi-demand of the faculty have not only academic knowledge but also practical experience are enjoyed a surge. There is nothing more fascinating to see our lecturers and professors in higher education institutes sharing with their students about how they apply the theoretical knowledge to the realistic world; guiding students with their entrepreneurship experience to commercialise research; fulfilling the gap between academic world and pragmatic world together with their students.

In addition, aside from enhancing faculty's ability of instruction, working outside academic moderately will contribute to their own study and research in the same time. Without taking into consideration about how to make research useful to humanity, faculty invariably stumble their career in the swamp of the tenuous basic research. What if a translational medical researcher dont have modicum of clinical knowledge and the hitherto state-of-the art standard operating procedure in hospital? He/she may possibly doesnt know how and where is the point to start writing his/her research study proposal and protocol, let alone proceeding promising research and applying the result to the bright of humanity.

On the other hand, despite the speaker's claim are somehow reasonable and mainly agree by me, I respectfully point out that the speaker obviously overlooks other alternatives which may also improve the quality of instruction of faculty. Generally, given that faculty in college and university level always lack of time due to taxing workload, spending extra working time seems like a luxury for them, I assume cooperation should be the best way to serve chance for them to get involve the practical field and real market. In fact, mushrooming cooperation and partnerships have been built up among companies, institutes, labs and cooperates. These help academy advanced in research and teaching, simultaneously avoid lavishing time to work outside which probably may affect and even ruin the faculty's work and quotidian life.

In sum, to best instructing our students who are the buttress of our future society, faculty in higher education may need to work outside their academic world to gain practical experience but indisputably, undue working outside guarantee counterproductive and undesirable consequence.

Again Joe, this wasn't too good. You appear to be using words that have no place in the context. Try to avoid complex words if you don't really know their meaning. I know it isn't easy ... just keep it simple and interesting.
