With the advance of technology, there are a large number of lectures that were recorded through radio and video. Meanwhile, some college teachers prefer to use them as teaching materials and simply ask students to do more practice about what they have learned from the record. However, I hold the view that it is not useful at all to teach students by presenting a recorded lecture and then requiring them to finish practices. I feel this for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.
First of all, a recorded lecture is usually too long and tedious for students and would bring extra pressure and difficulties to students. Having a limited attention span, students would probably not be able to fully concentrate on watching or listening to the material. Therefore, their learning efficiency decreased. Moreover, the materials provided by the professor can not impart the knowledge according to the students’ reactions since they had already been edited and were fixed. For example, when talking about some difficult parts of concepts, the lecture might keep going and move onto the next chapter without giving enough time for the comprehension of students. Hence, the recording would make students feel pressure and hamper the process of learning.
Secondly, assigning more practices to students is not an effective way to ensure the grasp of what has been taught. The main purpose of a college education is to help students comprehend and master the knowledge as well as skills rather than force them to memorize the content of lectures. Going against the aim of teaching, test-oriented education such as simply asking students to do excessive exams render little help to students. What is more, the communication between teachers and students which is another very essential factor that benefits students in the grasp of knowledge is usually missing in repeating tests. Besides, being overwhelmed by the practices, students would not be capable enough to put what they learned into practice, let along mastering it. Thus, the traditional lecture given by the professor could be a better way of teaching not only owing to involving the interaction between teachers and students in which the confusion of students could be solved immediately by teacher, but also because of the adjusting that professor can make during the lecture according to the feedback of students, which ensure the efficiency of learning.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that teachers are not supposed to use any recorded lecture in the class and require students to take excessive tests. This is because of the low efficiency and the lack of communication which would cast negative influences on the academic performance of students.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
