tokens: Professors should do more research or teach students? These days, more and more university professors are involved in scientific research . Some are afraid that this will lead to the decline of education quality and suggest them to spend more time on teaching . However, according to my experiences, professors should be encouraged to mainly do research . First of all, doing research is a method of self-improvement for professors . Universities are relatively fenced environment . The research projects provide communication with the outside . In addition, by doing research, professors could catch up with the latest development of modern technologies . I still remembered that my professor took part in several research projects when I was in college . He was often invited to do speech in other universities . Although my university is not in the high-ranking list, he gained a reputation by those projects . The research projects like windows opened to the wider world . Secondly, professors should fully use the research-friendly environment provided by universities . It is very common to see state-of-the-art laboratories in the campus . Also, you could not find another place with so much talent people gathering together . Consequently, there is really no reason to discourage professors from using those advantages . We all know that Einstein developed the theory of general relativity when he was a professor in HU Berlin . Universities positively contribute the professors' success . Last but not least, doing research could also improve the teaching quality . With the help of research projects, professors could lead their students into the practical world from the classroom . They can easily teach students how to imply the knowledge in practice . I still remembered the experience of being an assistant in one of my professor's research project . By participating in it, I had opportunities to use theories on textbooks in real life experiments . The research project provides a more efficient way of teaching . For those reasons, it is natural to support the professors spending more time on doing research . While extending the way of their own development, the outcomes of the researches will also benefit the whole society .
