Question

帮忙翻译一下这篇文章..(不要用机器来翻，这个我也会！！)

Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students. In some universities students’ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness..

This, however, has caused great controversy. Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers’ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers’ effectiveness. Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it. They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students’ rating forms. Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject. These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers’ colleagues.

I think students’ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers’ performance. Instead of rating the teachers’ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher’s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students’ interest in the subject.

现如今，在高校中，学生给老师打分已经和老师给学生打分一样普遍了。在有些学校里，学生给老师的评分甚至已经成为了衡量老师教学效果的唯一标准。
不过，这种现象已经引起了很大的争议。有些人赞成学生给老师打分的制度，因为他们觉得既然学生每天都要去上老师的课，他们就会有对老师教学效果的看法。相反，还有人对此强烈反对。他们坚信学生给老师的评分并不能客观公正的反应一个老师的实际教学效果。我们不应当寄希望于学生能够中肯地评价老师教的东西是否符合时代要求以及老师对于所教的科目是否非常了解。因为这些评价都需要很专业的相关知识，而这些东西还是留给老师的同事们去做比较好。
我觉得学生给老师打分这种制度是必要的，但是首先必须要确保这种制度能够有效地反映老师的教学效果。我们应该鼓励学生去写课堂中他们能从老师那里学到什么，老师与学生的沟通能力如何，与学生的关系怎么样，以及他们提高学生在所学科目上兴趣的能力强不强这样的问题，而不是去评价老师对于相关科目知识的掌握情况。
