University Classes, Required or Optional?
大学课程是强制还是选择？
Nowadays, with more and more young people having opportunities to attend colleges and universities, there have been drastic changes in various aspects of university education. One of the hot issues is whether university students should be required to attend classes. In my opinion, they shouldn’t.
如今，越来越多的年轻人进入了大学的校门。大学的教育在许多方面都有了巨大的改变。其中最热门的话题是大学学生是否应该强制性听课。我认为，这不需要。
University students should have their own options about whether they will attend classes or not.First of all, by the time people started their university life, they would be mature enough to be responsible for their own decisions and behavior. They are no longer children and should be capable of determining whether or not they need to attend a given class. Secondly, the university life is more than academic study.Students are exposed to many new opportunities, which will make them grasp more practical social skills for theirfuture. It is very important that they have the freedom to decide how to manage their time and to which they should give priority.Moreover, missing classes doesn’t necessarily mean they miss crucial information;generally this can be made up for by referring to notes of other people, though some courses, which need practical work, such as field trips and experiments, are exceptional. Last but not least, mandating studentattendance is an unnecessary burden on professors, who are there to teach those who want to learn, but notto babysit.
就是否参加课程，大学学生应该有自己的选择。首先，当学生开启自己的大学之旅时，他们应该对自己的决定和行为负责。他们不再是孩子，他们应该有能力来决定他们是否要参加课程。第二，大学生活不仅仅是学习。学生会拥有更多的机会，这将让他们获得更多未来所需要的社会技能。他们有如何管理时间的自由，以及分清轻重的自由，这是最重要的。此外，不参加课程并不意味着他们没有获得主要信息；他们也可以通过其他同学的笔记来获得。尽管一些课程需要实践来获得，例如实地考察，实验等，这些是要排除在外的。最后，对于老师来说，点名会给老师带来不必要的负担，老师是来教授那些想要学习的学生的。老师不会充当保姆的角色。
In a nutshell, university students are sensible adults, who can decide whether the classes are worth attending, especially those more self-directed courses. University courses should be optional for students rather than required.
总结，大学学生是一群理智的成年人，他们能够决定这些课程是否值得参加，特别是那些自主的课程。大学课程应该是选择性的，而不是强制性的。
