Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer. |
In many colleges, there is a system called “failure of absence”, giving the F grade if a student is absent more than the number of absence he or she was allowed to. However, many people protest about the policy that coerces the students to attend classes, claiming that the attendance should be optional for students. But I strongly support the current policy, based on these reasons: the responsibility a student should have, and the flexibility of the policy. Unlike in high school, there are no counselors to guide the students to make the course schedule in the university. Students are free to choose any of the courses the school provides. However, as the freedom is guaranteed to the student, so is the responsibility the student should take. It is free to choose the class, but if you decided to take a course, you have the responsibility to attend the class and get the best out of that lecture. Protestors claim that the university students face lots of circumstances where they are not able to attend classes regularly. That is correct. Such things can happen, like catching a cold, working on some projects, applying for job interviews, so on. However, these cannot be the reason for the current policy to abolish, because the policy is flexible and ponderous enough to cover the variety of cases. Sogang University, where it is notorious about applying the strictest “Failure of Absence” policy, allows about 5 times of absence per class in a semester. In addition, students are even allowed to drop the course during the curriculum, only he or she did not get FA yet. To summarize, as students are guaranteed to choose the course freely, the responsibility following the choice should be also secured. And the policy is flexible enough for students to deal with various and inevitable cases of absence. To conclude, I do not think that this is an unfair thing to drive students to study. |
문제를 처음에는 "과목 수강권을 학생에게 주어야 하는가 말아야 하는가"로 보고 쓰다가
혹시 "강제 출석에 대한 생각"이 아닌가 싶어서 중간에 다시 바꿔서 썼어요 -_-
