related to the future careers of students. Most undergraduates' purpose in entering tertiary schools is to get better occupations with higher salaries,

contribute a huge part to society

the economy. During human history, great changes and developments mostly stem from the inventions of inventors or studies of scholars, etc. These are the most convincing evidence of the particularly important role of researchers. Until now, academic research is still an integral part of social and economic development, so we need people with a deeper understanding of theories to do

. In conclusion, both practical and academic

is useful for the future careers of students.

Thus

, no one can affirm which is the main

of colleges. And in my opinion, I suppose what suits undergraduates best is the best thing to teach, so that, the primary
