[align="left"]Doyou agree or disagree with the following statement? It isnot necessary for university students to attend classes as long as they canpass their examinations.[/align][align="left"]Theglobal world of education has seen radical changes in recent years, among whichdistanceeducation, or learning without having to attend classes, stands outas the most remarkable brainchild of this technological age. For someuniversity students, since they only need to obtain a passing grade to earn thecredits necessary for degrees, they seldom attend classes and just takeexaminations at the ends of semesters. Nevertheless, I suppose that universitystudents need to attend classes no matter they have the ability to passexaminations.[/align][align="left"]Firstof all, being able to pass examinations does not necessarily mean that studentscompletely grasp the knowledge and skills which are taught in the classroom. Many examinations areonly concentrated on measuring how well the students can memorize the basicconception; they do not test the level that the students have understood theconcept or the ability that they can apply that concept into actual situations.On the other hand, courses in classroom provide students more detailed andfurther analysis and explanation on the knowledge in textbooks, so students canclearly understand what they are learning by attending classes. Taking myclassmate as example, he was absent from classes frequently and even though heattended class, he just played with his cellphone or Ipad. In fact, he onlyreviewed lessons before the examinations. What is surprising is that he passedall examinations successfully. Although smart, he is not likely to become a reliableengineer as other students in our school. Thus, the only way to learn knowledgeas more as we can is attending classes.[/align][align="left"]Inaddition, classroom experience is a type of wealth for students’ job search inthe future. Distance education differs a lot from the normal universityeducation. The latter one requires a great deal of collaboration with otherstudents in or after class. For instance, students often have group discussionsduring seminar and finish a cooperative project after class. These experiences giveus opportunities to learn how to communicate with others and how to workcooperatively. Apparently, communication and cooperation are vital job skills tomake a living in today’s job field. Furthermore, the employers prefer to hireone has a normal education degree rather than distance education degree.[/align][align="left"]All in all, it is notdifficult to pass examinations and obtain a degree, the book knowledge,undoubtedly, is important, but the skills how to apply these knowledge and howto cooperate with others are even more important. Thus, universities shouldrequire all students to attend classes even though they can readily passexaminations without attending classes.[/align]
