[vahi96]

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.

 

How lectures are being taught plays an important role in the life of a student. Students' academic performance majorly depends upon the way teacher teaches to them. If given a choice, some students, I am sure, would chose lectures with more discussion. Others would chose lectures with less discussion. I think, lectures with more discussion are better than lectures with less discussion for several reasons.

 

The main reason is that, students can understand better in a lecture with open discussion. While interacting with each other, professor will knows when and what students are not understanding and they can clarify the unclear topic right away. For instance, when I was in secondary school, there was a teacher who taught us mathematics. She used to teach us in a very interactive way: first she explains a topic and solves its example questions, then she use to give us few questions to solve on our own, after a few time, she use to check each student's note copy and corrects us if there is any mistake. As a result every student in my class scored good marks in mathematics. As you can see, class with more interaction are better for students.

 

Another reason is that, students can ask their doubts as soon as they have it. In an open discussion any student can ask their professor whatever they want to, regarding the lecture. It will not only clear their doubts, but also increase their confidence level. For example, when I was in college, there was a professor who taught us chemistry and he allowed us (students) to have an open discussion about every topic he taught. In this way I was able to ask any doubts to the professor. Sometimes when I didn’t had any doubt my potential doubts were also clarified because they were asked my some other student. So it is clear that discussion plays a crucial role in any lecture.

 

In conclusion, lectures with more discussion are much better than lectures with less discussion. Interactive class not only allows a student to ask clarify their doubts, but also it make to understand the lecture better. So students should have an open discussion during their lectures.
