Please check my mistakes. Thank you very much !

Some people believe that university students should required to attend classes. Others believe going to classes should be optional for student. Which point of view do you agree with ?

The time in university is one of the most important periods in our lives because it helps us to learn new things and prepare for our future careers. Some people claim that students must attend classes. Other people, however, argue that students have the right to decide whether they want to go to class or not. In my view, people can get personal experiences in the world outside the classroom, but when it comes to learning about academic subjects, students need to be in class.

First, in class, students receive the benefit of the teacher's knowledge. The best teachers do more than just go over the information in the class textbook. They draw their students into discussion of the material. They present opposing points of view. They schedule guest speakers to come, give the students additional information, or show documentary films on the subject. There are many subjects difficult to be understand without attending lectures. Lectures and detailed explanation make the subject becomes easier to understand than ever. For example, when I was in my university, I had an Oriental studies class, which was difficult for me to understand from the book. But when I attend the lecture about this subject, it was very helpful and explains things very clearly. As the professor provides a lot of examples and experiments that help me understand the material. This experience taught me that, university students should attend classes in order to understand their subjects.

Second, many times students in university will be given group assignments. Going to class also teaches students how to work with the other members of the class. When students attend classes in university, this will help them in their social interaction with other people. Interaction between the students in the classes and discussions are important for their future. Because students are in university with people from different backgrounds and experiences, this will enrich a student personality and help them for better understanding of each other about customs, traditions and religions. As you can see, attending classes in university is a fundamental tool in improving students social skills.

All in all, I believe that attending classes in university is an advantage for the students. Not only it will help students understanding the subjects, but also it will enhance their social skills. Every university should require students to attend classes.
