What Makes a Good College Teacher?

A good teacher, in our minds,means that giving us all knowledge he knows absolutely, supervising studentsstrictly, teaching students by holding their hands, assigning proper homeworkto students and being kind enough to give students time to relieve pressure and so on. Of course, these are my previous ideas which show myimmaturity to a certain extent. But those ways catering to examination-orientededucation are necessary before stepping into university. With the age andexperience growing, my thoughts become mature gradually.

在我們心目中一個好老師，意味著毫無保留的給我們所有的知識，嚴格管理學生，手把手的教學生，適當的給學生布置作業并足夠友善的給學生時間來緩解壓力等。當然，這些都是我以前的想法，在某種程度上展示了我的不成熟。但那些方式在上大學前對應試教育是很有必要。隨著年齡和經驗的增長，我的思想逐漸成熟。

From the perspective of a collegestudent, it’s quite ridiculous that a college teacher still follow the teachingpatterns of middle school because of the freedom and open of university. In myhumble opinion, first of all, as a college teacher, the most basic is thatteachers should possess good professional quality and be proficient in theirteaching subjects, which means that they will not only explain the textthoroughly, but also tell students more extracurricular knowledge on the topicto broaden their horizons and make them throw light on the text deeply.Meanwhile, teachers should mobilize the enthusiasm and initiation of studentsto make the whole class lively and be good at asking questions to encouragestudents to think on their own and foster their creativity, rather than letthem learn by rote. What’s more, in university---- an academic palace, teachersshould regard students as their friends to establish good relationship betweenteachers and students, and create an equal platform for students to speak theirmind freely. This way of teaching benefits teachers as well as students.

從大學生的角度來看，大學教師仍然遵循中學教學模式是相當可笑的因為大學是自由開放的。在我看來，首先，作為一名老師，最基本的是，教師應具備良好的職業素質，熟悉教學課程，這意味著他們將不僅僅全面的解釋課本，也要告訴學生更多的與課程相關的課外知識來拓展他們的視野，讓他們對課本有深入的理解。同時，教師要調動學生的積極性，讓整個班級氣氛活躍、善于提問，鼓勵學生獨立思考，培養他們的創造力，而不是讓他們死記硬背。更重要的是，在大學----一個學術殿堂，教師應把學生當做他們的朋友建立良好的師生關系，并為學生創造一個表達思想的自由平等的平臺。這樣教學可以是學生和老師相互受益。

To sum up, college is differentfrom middle school, so there is a great difference between them in teaching. Accordingly,college teachers should hold different teaching methods towards collegestudents. Only this can make a good college teacher.

總之，大學不同于高中，所以在教學中存在很大的差異。因此，高校教師應該對大學生有不同的教學方法。只有這樣才能成為一個好的大學老師。
