专八题目:

The Validity of College Rankings

专八范文:

The publication of college rankings each year would draw increasing attention from interested peopleThose people include reporterscollege administrators and facultyalumniparentsand high school studentsTogether with other popular guidebookscollege rankings feature data on the overall universities and colleges in ChinaShakespeares Romeo and Juliet once stated thatwhat is in a name? That which we calla roseBy any other name would smell as sweet.”We can ask a similar question over the college rankingswhat is in a number?

每年公布的大学排名吸引了许多人的关注。包括记者、大学管理者、教职员、学生、父母以及高中生。再加上其他的指导书,大学排名反映了中国大学的整体水平。莎士比亚的戏剧“罗密欧与朱丽叶”中说“名字包含了什么?我们管它叫做玫瑰。其他名字闻起来也一定是甜美的。"我们想问一问:数字里面包含了什么?

Some scholars warn that college rankings use objective measures to evaluate subjective considerations so that they can only tell a prospective college student a limited amountIn my opinionwe should take several rankings into consideration to evaluate a specific colleges place in the rankinginstead of only relying on one ranking

许多学者认为大学排名是一种衡量大学水平的客观途径,所以,它的排名很片面。我认为我们应该综合考虑,这样才能评估大学的真正排名,而不是只关注于排名。

Firstlyto decide whether college rankings give a college a fair shakeit is crucial to look at the methodology of the ranking systemWhile one system may conclude peer assessmentretention ratefacultyresourcesstudent selectivityand financial resourcesanother system may lay its emphasis on the number of famous alumnithe student evaluation of professors and the evaluation of college studentsAccordinglythe same university may rank top in one publication of one ranking systembut be reduced to theaverage university category in another ranking systemGenerally speakingbased on the same criteriathe rankings can objectively reflect the strength of a certain universitybut it can not tell the whole story ofa collegeBesidesmany universities are characterized by their unique disciplinesWe can not simply reach conclusion that a music and drama university is worse than a technological university according to their places in the ranking system

首先,大学排名是否公平,如何做出的大学排名是非常重要的。一种测量系统仅仅包含了评估、经济实力、师资力量、学生成绩、保留率方面的考虑,其他测量系统或许会更加重视著名校友的数量,老师对学生的评估,以及学生的评估。根据有关数据表明,同一所大学有可能总排在第一名,但是,换一种测量系统之后,这所大学有可能会成为一所排名中等的大学。总体来讲,根据同一种准则,排名可以客观地反映出某大学的实力,但是,却不能反映大学水平的全部。此外,许多大学有其特有的准则,我们不能仅仅推断出一所音乐或戏剧学院就比工业学校要差,这要根据不同的排名系统而定。

Secondlycollege rankings are likely to be manipulatedwhich inevitably reduces their authority and trustabilityAs a president from a famous university revealedone college ranking compiling organizationonce visited him and insinuated that if the president agreed to sponsor their organizationthey could put the college in higher places of rankingAccording to some news reportthis phenomenon is not rareMany universities have been invited tocorporatewith some ranking compiling organizationsCan we still believe that college rankings reflect the strength of some universities when some universities sponsor the compiling in exchange of higher places in the ranking?

第二,大学排名很有可能是人为控制的,这将不可避免地将减少它的权威性和可信性。一位知名大学的教授称,一位专门负责大学排名的机构曾经暗示他说,如果您同意支持他们的组织,那么,该组织将提高该学校的排名。根据一些新闻报道,这样的现象并不罕见。许多排名机构都曾经邀请过许多大学老师。我们还能相信大学排名真正能够反映大学的实力吗?特别是某些排名机构以换取支持而抬高排名为由的排名吗?

In a wordcollege rankingsan important means to evaluate universitiesare based on different methodologiesAs one methodology only focuses on certain aspects of higher learningwe have to consult with several ranking systems and then we can find out the whole story of a universityWe should also be cautious about the manipulation behind the scenes

总之,大学排名是评价大学的重要手段,而这样的排名是根据不同的测量方法而定的。某一种排名只侧重了高等教育的某一方面,我们不得不与各个排名系统相比较,之后,我们才能了解大学的真正实力。同时,我们也应该小心这一现象背后的人为原因。
