Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
People have different rationales that compel them to go to school. In universities, students, in the same major, have various interests, and this can be clearly seen in most colleges or faculties in which they offer a wide range of elective courses. I this piece of writing, I am going to explore the pros and cons of the impact on learning of permitting students to choose their classes.
Persevere students keen to study a variety of classes through customized curriculums for the sake of acquiring knowledge as much as possible. Take information and computer science pupils, college students, as an example; they can not have a great success unless they are being distinguished among their fellows. This is because not a fixed curriculum is sufficient when it comes to computer science, as it is a broad subject. Therefore, letting students choose what they want to take will help in achieving the highest possible level of knowledge that is suitable for them.
However, students may get lost, as some schools do not provide adequate academic advising. It is not easy, especially for newcomers, students select what class they want to join, and it is made difficult in schools where no proper advising. This can create a failure out of an excellent student. For instance, first-year students, with a high GPA, join college after finishing high school and put into spot to select and challenged to select their courses. The main reason is that high school students have a fixed curriculum that automatically is registered with no interference form the student. If the school guarantee to provide academic advising for those students, it would mitigate the risk of being susceptible to be lost.
In conclusion, it is a challenging decision to be made on whether to let students select their classes or not. Both sides of the coin have advantages and disadvantages. As a personal opinion, I believe students should be granted freedom to what they want to study, but after all, schools must put a proper registration policy in place.
