Both the reading materials and the lecture talk about the debate between universities around the importance of being research-oriented or teaching-oriented. The article proposes three reasons to supports that both the universities and students benefit from a research-focused university. On the other hand, the lecturer does not believe this and asserts that universities used to be research based, but now they are underscoreing the teaching-oriented styles.
First, she mentions that the ranking systems of unniversities used to focused on researchs and publications of universities, but nowadays, they consider the teaching style and methode more serious than past. With this explanation she rebut the first reason of the writer that reaserch is one important factor which increase the rank of universities and lead to draw mor students.
Second, the lecturer mentions that there are two types of professors. One do a research but cannot explaoin hard understanding topics to the public to attract attention of people. It is not an easy job to explain academic issues for average folks, only do good teachers could expalin those hard amterials for general public. Therefore, professors who are stronger teachers succeed to increase the universities' reputation and absorb more students and fund. She refutes the author's idea that professor who are astounding researchers are able to absorb many fund and many students.
Third, the professor mentions that the ability of doing research and teaching do not related to each other. She adds that it is not necessarily correct that good researcher could teach better then they could not educate students better. She talks about herself and her coleague to explain that. She says that her peer is a wonderful researcher but is no table to convey a lesson to student well. Then, she rejects this idea that good researcher can attract more students to the universities.
