大學選修課 What Electives to Choose？

Alongwith the development of our education, today most universities have offeredvarious electives for students to choose and study. However, some people claimthat these elective courses have very little effect on spreading knowledge andstudents’ development because what students concern about when choosingelectives are so different.

隨著我國教育的發展，如今大多數大學都為學生提供了各種各樣的選修課。然而，一些人認為這些選修課對傳播知識和學生的發展影響很小，因為學生們擔心選擇選修課是如此之不同。

Thereare various kinds of reasons for choosing electives and I list some in here.Primarily, the most important and wide factor students concern about is theteachers of the courses. Instead considering the quality of the teacher, or theform or style of the teacher will take or act in the course, they just want tomake sure that the teacher they choose will never keep trace of theirattendance and let them fail in their exams. In addition, a large number ofstudents choose their elective courses aiming to get a high score but neverconsider what they will learn and how to apply to it. What’s worse, somestudents choose their electives just they are forced by their schools’institution demand and their score need.

有各種各樣的選擇選修課的原因，我在這里列出了一些。首先，學生關心的最重要和最普遍的因素是上課的教師。不是考慮教師的上課質量，或教師上課的形式、風格，他們只是想確保他們選擇的老師不會經常考勤或讓他們考試不及格。此外，大部分的學生選擇選修課的目的在于得高分，而從不考慮從中會學到什么，如何去應用它。更糟糕的是，有些學生選擇選修課只是因為學校的強制和分數的需要。

Asfar as I am concerned, I advocate that the most important thing we shouldconcern about when choosing electives is our personal interests. The mostworthy meaning for these electives is to broaden our horizon and extend ourknowledge as much as possible and to complement our major and compulsorycourses. Therefore, what electives we choose should be in accordance with ourinterests and our career planning instead of aiming to make high score or passthe exam.

我認為在選擇選修課的時候我們應該關注的是我們個人的興趣。這些最有價值意義的選修課可以擴大我們的視野，彌補我們專業必修課程的不足。因此，我們應該根據我們的興趣和職業規劃來選擇選修課而不是為了得高分或通過考試。
