Class Attendance Should Not Be Compulsory
It is undoubtedly true that students should take their studies seriously. This means not only doing the required work, but also actively pursuing every opportunity to learn. So of course they should attend their classes to receive the maximum benefit. However, I do not believe that there is a need to make class attendance mandatory at the university level.
By the time they reach university, students are no longer children. They are young adults and should be able to take responsibility for their actions. Attending their classes is of benefit to them, and while it may be tempting to skip them once in a while, it is not the responsible choice. Adults must be able to manage their time on their own and to make their own decisions. If a student misses too many classes and so does poorly in a course, he will have to accept the consequences and learn from his mistake. Finally, non-compulsory class attendance may not only lead to improvements in the students, but also in the teaching. Of course, every professor likes to see full attendance at his classes. If students are not coming to class, the professor should ask himself why. Perhaps the students do not understand the relevance of the material to their studies.
In conclusion, I believe that class attendance should not be required for university students. They should learn to make the right decisions for themselves, and this is one way to encourage the development of independence and responsibility.
譯文
學生應該認真對待自己的學業，這無疑是正確的。這也就意味著，學生不僅要完成學校所要求的功課，也要主動尋求各種學習機會。所以，學生當然應該去上課，以得到最多的益處。然而我認為，到了大學階段，就沒有必要強制規定學生上課一定要出席。
學生上了大學就不再是小孩子了，他們是年輕的成人，應該有能力為自己的行為負責。上課對他們是有益的，雖然偶爾逃課頗令人心動，但這并不是負責任的選擇。成年人必須能夠管理自己的時間，自己做決定。如果學生因為缺課太多而使某個科目考得很差，他就必須接受后果，從自己的錯誤中吸取教訓。最后，不強制上課可能不僅使學生進步，而且也可改善教學。當然，每位教授都樂于見到自己上課時的學生出席率為百分之百。如果學生不來上課，教授應該捫心自問為什么會如此。或許是因為學生們不了解上課的內容和學業之間有何關聯。
總之，我認為不應該強制規定大學生上課必須出席。他們應該學習自己做正確的決定，而這正是鼓勵學生培養獨立精神和責任感的方法之一。
