Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.






Recently, in the university, there is a debate about the requirement of attending classes. Some people believe that students should been given option to decide if going to classes.

Sometimes I feel that studying alone seem to be more effective than attending the classes, especially, when I have a strong interest in a certain subject. However, I disagree with the point of view that the classes should be optional for university students, because the function of the classes is never replaced by studying alone.

The main reason for my view is that we can't learn all knowledge gained from the classes by learning the textbook alone. Since the professor had studied his subject for many years and had spent much times to prepare the class. There are knowledge that are distinctive and can't be gained from the textbook.

Furthermore, the professor know which knowledge is very important and i think the form to take it is participate and discuss .
Another reason for my view is that we not only can learn some knowledge in the classes but also learn the team spirit, the discipline and routine. In the classes, we often discuss with other students, sometimes we even cooperate with others to accomplish a project. So we have to learn to get along with others and train our team
spirit. Always attend  the classes also can let us used to routine and obey the discipline. All these characters are very important for our coming jobs. So based on all these reasons and examples, I think university students should attend the classes and that can't be optional.


Nowadays due to the technology students have different option to attend classes, some attends from home and others from different other places through internet. From my point of view I think students should attend classes to gain an extra knowledge, cooperate with teachers and other students and of course by attending classes students can practice their responsibilities and discipline in every day work and study.
