Colleges and universities should require all faculty to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach.

Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.

Application in real-life situations is the main essence of learning and developing, whereby one without the other can be considered a waste of resources and time. Various courses as crafted by academia respond to a need in society. We come across courses in the University, such as Reservoir Engineering, Gynaecology, and in secondary schools, subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, and Biology. It is important to note that the courses learnt in secondary school find expression in the University and are built upon there, as well as those learnt in the University are applied in the field and sharpened there. A teacher with field experience is able to more effectively pass complex knowledge to students than their counterparts, and from what I have seen as being a student, students appreciate this perspective better and are able to see the end result clearer. Thus, faculty working in the field is highly recommended, most especially in the area wherein they teach.

This view was corroborated by a study carried out by Time Review. In this study, teachers teaching Reservoir Engineering without field experience and those with field experience were compared. It was discovered that the knowledge and skill of those without field application experience quickly became obsolete and ineffective, especially in simulating solutions to crises often experienced on the rig; an their teaching more theoretical and boring are involved to their audience; whereas those teachers who have gone ahead to apply this practically, apply pragmatic methodologies, and hence produce a more balanced student. But just staying in one's field can be restrictive in exposure.

However, working outside a particular field, that is not directly in the line of the course of teaching, provides its own unique importance. Real life is more complex and diverse than what is first assumed. It takes a different talent and skill to make a business successful or not. Take the Oil and Gas Industry, for instance, to produce crude and make a profit legally, there is a need for Doctors to cater for the health of the staff, Lawyers to handle the legal matters, beyond the Reservoir Engineers that deal directly with the crude and the subsurface. What then is the paradox? Working in fields that are seemingly outside one's field of teaching avails one the opportunity to work with diverse specialty, recognize new applications of one’s skills, and, like in the modern world, gain and apply transferable skills.

Some school of thought however say and maintain that venturing into unrecognized zones is wasted effort; they fail to see the beauty and applicativeness of this combination. From this, we see new job opportunity arising across the globe.

What then is the way forward? There should be no restriction to how and where knowledge gained is applied and finds expression; rather, a platform should be created to maximize
