Do you agree or disagree? All university students should be required take history class. |
Many people say that all college students should take the history class for their common sense. Although I admit the merit of learning the history, I definitely believe that history class should depend on students’ choice. The rationale behind this is that an elective course makes more good grades than when mandatory, as well as students should spend their time and effort more effectively. First of all, I strongly believe that the forceful study does not contribute to get a good grade. That is, when people are under the pressure of grades, the study for meeting the higher accomplishment can be stressful. This is largely because in these day’s competitive societies, the transcript of the course work is very important for the sake of getting a job. On the contrary, just for the seeking to knowledge as a selective can be much more enjoyable study to know the history. As revealed a recent research, students are likely to make a higher grade when they select their favorable study as a selection than the required classes as a mandatory. The more having interests, the more getting good grades students do. Second, when it comes to the major subject in variety sorts in college, history is not always required. Students can largely focus on only their major. Notably, if the certain major requires a myriad of time and effort, a student should spend most of the time and money, effort to study the job. From my personal experience, when I was university students, my major was architecture. The architecture department needs toiled and moiled time consuming and effort. At that time, in order to make valuable quality of the work, my peers along with me spent a long time in the studio for work, even all the night. If during the school I have to attend a mandatory history class, which requires tough study, I would have taken much time to study for the history. In conclusion, I strongly believe that the history class should be an elective class. This is largely because the pursuit of knowledge has to be the option. Also, students’ most important thing is that they should spend the cost of time and effort to their major. University students are not young people, but already adults and have their vision and thinking. Their selects lead their future. |
