“Classes Lecture Type or Interaction Type ”

Some students like classes where teachers lecture (do all of the talking) in class. Other students prefer classes where the students do some of the talking. Which type of class do you prefer? Give specific reasons and details to support your choice.
======================================================
I feel that most students are excited about lecture hall courses because it gives them a better chance to hide. Nevertheless, I strongly feel that classroom lecture type is really better for learning. In this essay I will elaborate on both types of learning i.e. lecture type and the non lecture type.

Main advantage in lecture hall courses can offer more freedom. Because these courses are more impersonal, your professor will rarely know if you are there or not. Also, you will feel more comfortable at times knowing that you are not being watched closely. This can be a good thing if you are an independent learner.

Secondly lecture hall courses are less likely to have multiple smaller assignments and homework. Most lecture hall courses will not have regular and smaller homework assignments. Once again, lecture hall courses create more freedom, which can be beneficial but also has the real potential to be harmful if that freedom is used absurdly.

One of the disadvantages in lecture type hall is that more students in the class may cause distractions also more students mean more friends to chit chat or gossip with. Besides, lecture hall courses are impersonal means student will receive less personal attention. Furthermore, the lecture hall setting makes it intimidating to ask questions. However don’t be shy to seek clarifications. Moreover there are fewer ways to earn an "A" in this type of class. Don’t take this lightly – work hard daily and avoid the horror of cramming. Sometimes classes may seem boring. Lecture hall courses are exactly that - lectures. Student has to make sure to take active notes and listen attentively.

In nutshell, each system has its merits and demerits. Student must carefully choose options lest some factors go against their interests.
