Some students prefer classes with open discussions between the professor and students and almost no lectures. Other students prefer classes with lectures and almost no discussions. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Education is important in our society. It often determines our level of success. Some people believe that the best education comes from classes that focus on discussions. Others disagree. In my view, courses should focus on lectures for two important reasons.
First, lectures ensure that the most important material is learned. When you take classes that focus on discussion, a few students often talk the most. As a result, the class focuses on what they want and not as much as other students or the professor. For example, when I was in university, I took a class on the history of the Caribbean. This class was almost 100% discussion. There was one student who always asked questions and talked about her personal life. If this class were lecture based, students would have been able to learn more about the Caribbean. Though this may be an extreme example, as you can clearly see, lectures create a stronger learning environment.
Second, students still get to ask questions in lecture-based classes. During a lecture, a student can still raise her hand and ask a question or make a comment. For example, in university, I took a beginning chemistry class with about 150 students, maybe more. As you can imagine, this class was almost 100% lecture based. I noticed that a student would always ask a question or make a comment during the lecture. This created a very small, but useful discussion that other students could hear. This happened at least two or three times everyday and in my other lecture-based classes as well. This experience taught me that lecture-based classes are better.
In sum, the most preferable classes are lecture based. Not only do students learn more but they also still have a chance to ask questions and make comments. We should all recognize the effectiveness of lecture-based courses.
