Should university students be required to attend classes? There are two different opinions. Some people claim that attending classed is a must to students. Other people, however, argue that it should be for students to decide whether they want to go to class or not. As far as I am concerned, no matter whether students like it or not, they must attend classes.

knowledge by themselves. If they were asked to attend the class in which the professor teaches something they already have known, it would be a pain. Not attending class, students can control their time more freely and are likely not to waste time. ; m" x( J/ h4 L: @+ r: R Q3 H7 q
Although I agree that there may be one or two advantages to not attending class, I insist that the advantages of joining classes far overweigh them. In the first place, professors can teach students a lot of things that cannot be obtained from books. In Chinese dictionary, a university is defined to be a place where teachers forward what they know to students. In the book, normally there is just concentrated knowledge. How the writer gets and develops it is a question. How to answer this question? Go to the class. The professor will not only teach you some knowledge, but also let you know how to use and develop it. As a Chinese slang says, " Owning a key is owning a house." That is the most important reason people want to study in university.

In short, attend classes if you select to attend university. |
