Some students prefer classes with frequent discussions between the professor and the students with almost no lectures. Other students prefer classes with many lectures and almost no discussions. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

There are two different ways to lead a class. One, sharing the responsibility of the content with the student; in this case, they get involve in frequent discussions with the professor. And, the second one, is the more traditional class, conducted by de professor following the lecture model.

In my opinion, classes with many lectures and almost no discussion are better than ones with recurrent discussion between the professor and the students. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

First of all, students arrive to their classes with different backgrounds and levels of previous preparation of the topics. For example, some of them will finish the mandatory and optional readings, others will read only a feew pages, and some others, will read nothing at all. Professors cannot balance the difference between less and more prepared students, so the productivity of the discussion is not garanteed.

Secondly, not all the students wants to participate in the class’ discussion with the same enthusiasm, despite the level of previous work that they have done. For instance, I was very shy in college, so I never raised my hand to participate as volunteer, but I was always prepared to do it, if it was necessary. I believe that discussion should be part of the daily life at University, for example, when you get lunch or hang out with your friends/classmates. Nevertheless, classes must be amazing lectures, where you fully engage with the topic that an expert present about.

We are expecting: No. of Words: 350 while No. of Different Words: 200
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

More content wanted.
