University Classes, Required or Optional?
大學課程是強制還是選擇？
Nowadays, with more and more young people having opportunities to attend colleges and universities, there have been drastic changes in various aspects of university education. One of the hot issues is whether university students should be required to attend classes. In my opinion, they shouldn’t.
如今，越來越多的年輕人進入了大學的校門。大學的教育在許多方面都有了巨大的改變。其中最熱門的話題是大學學生是否應該強制性聽課。我認為，這不需要。
University students should have their own options about whether they will attend classes or not.First of all, by the time people started their university life, they would be mature enough to be responsible for their own decisions and behavior. They are no longer children and should be capable of determining whether or not they need to attend a given class. Secondly, the university life is more than academic study.Students are exposed to many new opportunities, which will make them grasp more practical social skills for theirfuture. It is very important that they have the freedom to decide how to manage their time and to which they should give priority.Moreover, missing classes doesn’t necessarily mean they miss crucial information;generally this can be made up for by referring to notes of other people, though some courses, which need practical work, such as field trips and experiments, are exceptional. Last but not least, mandating studentattendance is an unnecessary burden on professors, who are there to teach those who want to learn, but notto babysit.
就是否參加課程，大學學生應該有自己的選擇。首先，當學生開啟自己的大學之旅時，他們應該對自己的決定和行為負責。他們不再是孩子，他們應該有能力來決定他們是否要參加課程。第二，大學生活不僅僅是學習。學生會擁有更多的機會，這將讓他們獲得更多未來所需要的社會技能。他們有如何管理時間的自由，以及分清輕重的自由，這是最重要的。此外，不參加課程并不意味著他們沒有獲得主要信息；他們也可以通過其他同學的筆記來獲得。盡管一些課程需要實踐來獲得，例如實地考察，實驗等，這些是要排除在外的。最后，對于老師來說，點名會給老師帶來不必要的負擔，老師是來教授那些想要學習的學生的。老師不會充當保姆的角色。
In a nutshell, university students are sensible adults, who can decide whether the classes are worth attending, especially those more self-directed courses. University courses should be optional for students rather than required.
總結，大學學生是一群理智的成年人，他們能夠決定這些課程是否值得參加，特別是那些自主的課程。大學課程應該是選擇性的，而不是強制性的。
