The extent to what level of efficiency modern education system could perform
in teaching students is always a hot topic. Among many developing suggestions
that could improve learning efficiency, the necessity of attending class has been
argued frequently in recent years. When it comes to whether giving students
freedom of attending class as an optional choice or not, tradition has it that
class is a firm part of the school life. Nevertheless, in my part, I prefer having
the rights as individuals to make our own decisions about attending a class.
I believe that studying out of class does certainly save our time and make
learning more comfortable. Take e-learning at home as an example: students
may learn at home via "visual classes", which are powered by computer and the
Internet installed at home instead of pens & paper and white board in a
classroom. Being connected with professors in different locations, learners do
not need to battle rash-hour traffic for going to campus. Indeed, students could
do their research at home or even at a vacation hotel. With modern technology,
people could choose to learn any topic no matter what they are doing - drinking,
eating or even listening music, at anywhere and any time. Therefore, studying
without a real class attending requirement will save our time, and offer a
comfortable learning environment.
Another advantage of making class an optional choice is that people could
customize their learning process according to their own interests and
capabilities. While classic class leverages learning speed and depth to satisfy
every student in the class as a whole, learning out of class means self-control.
Students choose to attend one class because its topic is just suitable for his
study plan, and discard another class because he had learned it in advance
during the weekend at home. He may then accelerate his studying speed and go
on to the further topics that interest him.
Admittedly, attending class at regular time has its own advantages. Students in
a real class may be regulated by a teacher to concentrate on their study.
Teachers, who are well trained, could also give learners professional guides and
interesting demos. Moreover, some special programs such as physical exercises
and experiments may only be conducted at real classes.
All in all, from what I have been discussed above, I suggest granting students
rights of making their own decisions for attending classes. To make classes
optional in universities will certainly bring advantages for learning and benefit
the whole society.
