So I have this editorial Most of us students want to ask questions in class but are too shy because many students are in the room with us. During my first semester as a freshmen, I noticed that the more students there are the less confident I feel asking questions. For example, in my microeconomics class, I observed that only less than 5 students out of 30 or more were asking and answering questions from the teacher during the lecture which resulted in maybe half of the class failing and some dropping out of that class. I feel like most of us students avoid asking questions on a confusing concept because of thinking too much for a possibility of embarrassing ourselves in front of many students. When we avoid asking questions this affects our mental health due to confusion and it could lead to bad grades. If a class has too many students, professors cant give attention to a student which makes the student feel that they are going to get ignored, so they just stay quiet and not ask questions. Large class sizes make it hard for students to learn. I think back to one of my classes where I noticed one of the students sitting beside me looking confused, and I could tell that he wanted to ask something, but then stopped and just sighed. I am guessing that he is worried about looking foolish in front of everyone.
This problem affects a lot of students in different ways. It could be mental health, bad grades, participation, and confidence. If we dont understand the lesson we fall behind and could fail homeworks, quizzes, and exams which could end up not passing the class resulting in paying more money because of retaking a class. Many of us students feel stressed and lose motivation on participating in class. Some would even drop out because they cant keep up. This shows that big classes could ruin one student’s success.
We students could address this problem by taking action and speaking up. One solution we could make is do some course evaluations and include some feedback about large classes. Another solution I could think of would be talking to a professor directly which gives a higher chance when a student explains their own experience which could lead up to the administrators notice this issue and make fast changes. If we dont speak up, class sizes will keep continuing to rise up and more students will struggle the same way of what we experience to pass a class.
In conclusion, large class sizes make students have a hard time to ask a question and get the help they need. Which leads to confusion, stress, and lower grades, where it can affect our success in school. If we want this issue to be improved we must speak up by using our voices through evaluations, talking to professors, or student officials. Malala Yousafzai once said When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful. This shows if students speak up our voices can create change. I need this to revise and expand this with switching my audience to my university administrator and make it more persuasive. you can add another in real life experience where in my bio class. i can provide a picture of the test stats. For my counterargument paragraph it could be this after couple paragraphs ima do like starting my counterargument it will be counterargument consesion some like that then main pount my counterargument could probably the university worry of money spending of hiring more teachers and all thatlastly Imlooking to 1600 to 1700 words no less no more. I need 5sources with it as well.
