4、adays, university ranking is very popular in china. Every time a new edition of university ranking is released, it will attract considerable public attention, and a heated debate will arise on whether the ranking fairly rreflects the strength of each college. Proponents of the ranking claim that it
5、 has lots of positive effects. First, it is a kind of stimulus for universities to improve their research and teaching quality. Good research and teaching will lead to higher ranking, meaning that they can attract more excellent students to choose which university to attend since they lack related
6、information. Opponents argue that university ranking brings far more negative than positive effects. It is reported that some universities bribe the ranking organization to improve their ranking, instead of enhancing their own strength in teaching and research. Besides, many people question the met
7、hod of evaluation and the accuracy of the information the ranking is based on. From my prospective, while university ranking may have its defects, it does serve good purposes. What we need to do is to make it fairer and more transparent, Only in this way could this practice provide incentives to un
8、iversities and win trust from the public. As the level of people’s life proving, people take more attention on education. Now days, university ranking is pouple in China. And ther are differet companies produce so many differet rankings. It’s no denying that university ranking help people to choic
9、e. But some people do not agree so. Because differet ranks offen be linked with such as money, power and so on. Some universities had a good poision in rankings maybe give money to the company produced the rank. On my opinions, university ranking is useful. By university ranking, and by compare dif
10、feret rankings, we can no which university maybe better. Besides the leavl of differet mayer, more important about university is the culture.A good university conclude a lot of great students and teachers. There’s a better envirement for students to study. University ranking tell us good university
11、 to go. Apart from ablove, I think that we couldn’t only take attention on university ranking. We also should think about the mayer. A good mayer is more important for us. We should choice a good mayer which we like. In the latest few years, people may find kinds of university ranking reading news
12、paper, surfering the internet and even watching the news reports. As we all know, one thing may be evaluated quiet different by groups with distinct opinions. Things go the same in such a phonomenion. Supporters may think that university ranking can help senior high school students to make an apropr
13、eit choice of which university to go, while some institutions are in need of graduates can rank the applicants by checking their schools. However, people with the opposite view may say: “evaluating a university asks for many elements such as culture, faculties, avarange level of students and so on.
14、Then we can hardly come to a quant result.” IN my opinion, views mentioned above can be complements to each other. General speaking, we should try to develop a better method which covers as many as possible facets of a certain university. The result may be high-demention, so it doesn’t have to be o
15、rdered. jjAs a result, people can judge a university in personalized view. It may be better. The popularity of universityRranking is rising, which has drawn great attentions and debates. Many famous websites, such as Sina, have the university Ranking, especially during the time of University Entr
16、ance Test. What’s more, the high schools and family members always emphasize the Ranking, which bring a great pressure to students. The views to the university Ranking are varied. Some approve it. They hold the opinion that we can choose the university which fits us best. The Ranking is valueable i
17、nformation about universities. However, others are in the opposite. Their reasons are as follows. Firstly, we can’t make sure the truth of the Ranking. If It’s not true, it will mislead students. Secondly, the Ranking may encourage some universities do something to enhance the rank, such as give ben
18、efit to the Ranking makers, which is called “buying Ranking”. So, in this way, how can a university focus its attention on Teaching, and how can they foster students well? Last but not least, there are so many Ranking now. How we know which is true. In my opinion, both sides have merits and drawbacks. We should judge a university by more than a university Ranking.
