INTRODUCTION
GENERAL STATEMENT
1. Universities worldwide are being criticized by commerce and
industry that they are producing “nerds” and “bookworms.”
VIEW OF BODY
2. Let us look at the topic in terms of the subjects in the courses and the
careers involved. (34 words)
BODY
FIRST PARAGRAPH TOPIC SENTENCE
3. First, the subjects covered in a course will determine the nature of the
study material and the activities in which the students will have to
partake.
SUPPORTING SENTENCES
4. For example, arts and drama courses will have to contain mainly
practical subjects. The students need to practice and eventually
master certain skills under the guidance of their lecturers and
professors. When studying philosophy, history, or theology, however,
a student would have to read many prescribed books, articles, and
papers in order to acquire a broad theoretical background of the
subject.
SECOND PARAGRAPH TOPIC SENTENCE

---

5. Second, the nature of the career for which a student is preparing will
largely determine how many practical and/or theoretical sessions the
college course will contain.
SUPPORTING SENTENCES
6. For instance, when training a medical doctor, a nurse, a hotel
manager, or an engineer, the courses would have to contain many
practical modules. These students need to get “hands-on” experience
in the skills they are going to need in their jobs. Teachers and
lecturers, on the other hand, need as much knowledge as possible
about the particular subjects that they will be teaching. (177 words)
CONCLUSION/SUMMARY
9. I have looked at course content and career paths as the factors
determining how practical or theoretical a course should be.
