Some students prefer classes with frequent discussions between the professor and the students with almost no lectures. Other students prefer classes with many lectures and almost no discussions. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Every student has their own preferred learning style. And

therefore

it is impossible to accommodate all of them . In my opinion , the best

classes

are those which include a lot of

discussions

. I feel

this

way

for two reasons , which I will explore in the following essay.

To begin

with ,

classes

where we have the opportunity to speak help to develop our intellectual abilities.

Classes

where the teacher does

the talking are very passive,

, and do not help us grow academically. They mostly involve the memorization of facts and details which do not help us in the long run .

For example

, I recently took a political science class that changed the

way

I think about the world. The cut and thrust of debate in the class made me consider where my political beliefs came from and if they were even correct . I was required to listen to the opinions of others , so I was a more

person after after the class finished . I believe that I would not have developed in

such

a

way

by just listening to lectures.

This

example demonstrates how valuable intellectual conversations can be .

Secondly

,

classes

that involve a lot of interactions can help

students

develop the skills necessary to work well in groups. Many freshman

well . Taking with their peers and professors teaches

students

how to communicate effectively , and they can use

this

skill to excel in their future careers. My older brother's experience demonstrates that

this

is true . When he started university he was a very introverted person and did not enjoy collaborating with others .

However

, after four years of participating in debates,

discussions

and presentations in his

classes

he became a very confident public speaker.

As a result

, when he began his career after graduation, he excelled in group work and was seen by his co-workers and supervisors as a natural leader . He was promoted quickly and advanced through the ranks of his company. Without participating in

discussions

with his professors and classmates he would not have developed the skills necessary to succeed in

this

way

. In conclusion, I feel strongly that

classes

which are centred on

discussions

between professors and

students

are preferable to those in which the professor does all of the talking.

This

is because these

classes

help

and because they teach

the skills that they need to achieve success in the future.
