Essay topics:

Professors are normally found in university classrooms, offices, and libraries doing research and lecturing to their students. More and more, however, they also appear as guests on television news programs, giving expert commentary on the latest events in the world. These television appearances are of great benefit to the professors themselves as well as to their universities and the general public. Professors benefit from appearing on television because by doing so they acquire reputations as authorities in their academic fields among a much wider audience than they have on campus. If a professor publishes views in an academic journal, only other scholars will learn about and appreciate those views. But when a professor appears on TV, thousands of people outside the narrow academic community become aware of the professor's ideas. So when professors share their ideas with a television audience, the professors' importance as scholars is enhanced. Universities also benefit from such appearances. The universities receive positive publicity when their professors appear on TV. When people see a knowledgeable faculty member of a university on television, they think more highly of that university. That then leads to an improved reputation for the university. And that improved reputation in turn leads to more donations for the university and more applications from potential students. Finally, the public gains from professors' appearing on television. Most television viewers normally have no contact with university professors. When professors appear on television, viewers have a chance to learn from experts and to be exposed to views they might otherwise never hear about. Television is generally a medium for commentary that tends to be superficial, not deep or thoughtful. From professors on television, by contrast, viewers get a taste of real expertise and insight. \

Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they oppose specific points made in the reading passage.

Both the reading passage and lecture dicuss about professor who normally are found in university classrooms, if they can appear as guest on television will it be beneficial for readers or not.The former argues that these resources have three good reasons but latter contradicrs each of these points.

First of all, the author claims that when the professors share their ideas with television audience, the professors importance as scholars is enhanced. In contrast, the lecturer counters that, it will bring them into puerile nature. And it will lead to entertainment instead of education. So it will get difficult to do research due to distraction from television.

Secondly, the reading asserts that it will bring positive publicity to univeristy and will lead to more donations and more applications to the college. However the professor rebuts that it will lead professor to reherasals for looking good. Instead of this professor can use this time to study for research.

Finally, the text contends that professor gain public appearence more when seen on television. Even it states that television is general medium for commentary that tends to be superficial but from professor the viewers can get taste of real expertise and insight. On the other hand the listening counters that due to television appearence it makes impression to public that one is not serious or not intellectual.

As you can see now, the author and lecturer hold very different views on professor appearing on television.
