Is it necessary for university students to attend classes?

There are two points of

view related to that controversial issue which some argue that going to class is a must
for students. Others, on the other hand, believe that students should be able to choose
whether or not to attend class. As far as I am concerned, no matter whether students
like it or not, attendance at college classes should be a compulsory part of their
student life.
To begin with, students must attend class for a variety of purposes, including
absorbing the knowledge more effectively, improving essential skills and practising
time-management ability, in my view. Firstly, performing frequent class-presence is
the best manner to understand the lessons effectively. According to the research of
Dr. Jenny Muir (lecturer of Queen’s University Belfast), students who regularly
attend classes will have much more potential of achieving top marks than others. It is
obvious that a professor can teach students a lot of things that cannot be obtained
from books. Besides, many quality qualified instructors have high expertise and
excellent teaching skills to deliver valuable lessons in the university, which students
cannot gain by self-studying. Furthermore, it is obvious that not every single person
is naturally good at self-studying, so it would be fundamental for a student to have an
instructor discuss every aspect of the lessons comprehensively. Secondly, spending
time at college classes turns out to be a great chance to improve social skills as well
as to have incredible diverse activities at many dynamic clubs. Building friendships
and networking in university is also very vital., iIn contrast, students may miss these
precious moments if they skip classes all the time. In addition, itregular attendance
will boost excellent skills for students to complete themselves when they engage in a
community which is young and full of positive energy. Thirdly, attending college
classes is the best way to build and enhance sense of discipline as well as time
management skill. However, Aantagonists of compulsory college attendance can hold
a view that students should take time to learn what they are interested in with
flexibility of time and subjects. Not attending class, students can control their time
more freely and are likely not to waste their time. However, many students may
disagree with this statement since they have recognized that the distraction from
entertainment nowadays is more and more abundant or attractive. As a result, school
attendance helps them avoid deconcentrating in their learning progress with a well-
built syllabus and timetable schedule. Students can also effectively practise the sense
of responsibility and know how to arrange tasks appropriately.
In conclusion, I believe that students should attend classes since frequent
presence in college classes can bring students many benefits such as knowledge,
necessary skills and the sense of discipline to fulfill their respective tasks.
Furthermore, students should value the time they have at university if they consider
attending university as a best way to comprehend knowledge and create a successful
life.
