University Classes

---

Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes.

---

Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students.

---

Which point of view do you agree with?

---

Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.

---

Nowadays, universities have great significance in the lives of many people.

---

That is why deciding whether to participate in teaching activities there or not is very important.

---

Some students find making the participation mandatory for students to attend university classes a good idea; others would disagree.

---

I hold this view that the decision about attending classes should be up to students and optional.

---

I have two important reasons for my opinion.

---

Firstly, learning styles are different from person to person.

---

Some people find it learning through listening more convenient and effective while some find it easier and productive through reading.

---

For the first group, when lecturers teach them they will gain better results than studying by themselves.

---

This method has not the same effect on the second group as it has on the first.

---

In my own case, I see myself as a part of the reading type.

---

I will reach a satisfactory comprehension of a subject when I flip through books and articles, take my time to think about the details of the matter, and review some materials necessary to learn the subject.

---

Due to this, I could not get my desired results and became distracted most of the time during classes at university.

---

A few of lecturers allowed students to not be present in classes but most of them forced them to attend classes.

---

I was displeased with the system that compelled students to be in classes and lecturers who threatened students with removing their names from the list of individuals allowed to participate in final exams.

---

I see the time spent on those classes as a waste of time and energy and wish I could make better use of it.

---

As you can see, resorting to forceful methods to make students attend classes is not only productive to some people but can have damaging effects instead.

---

Secondly, teaching methods have a vast variety and some of them are of great differences from one another.

---

There is no teaching method which will be the best for all of the students without exception.

---

Some students find some of these methods more suitable for themselves while others think otherwise.

---

Drawing from my own experience, I had problems with the established teaching methods which were used in my university.

---

In my opinion, most of them were flawed in many parts.

---

I suggested to some of the lecturers that their teaching strategy could be improved but none of them agreed to the suggestion.

---

They preferred to adhere to their traditional methods.

---

As for students, some of them found my advice more effective and as for others, some of them were indifferent with either of the methods and some disagreed with my way of thinking.

---

During all of my undergraduate course, I was forced to attend lecturers’ classes who were indifferent to my views and most importantly, the classes which were ineffective to me.

---

In sum, though some people oppose the view of attending university classes being optional I find it more rational.

---

The way of learning is different for every person and there is no single teaching strategy that is considered to be for everyone.

---

That is why the decision to attend classes or not should be up to students.

---

Some students find making it mandatory for students to attend university classes a good idea; others would disagree.
