The motivation is to offer college students a more flexible and efficient way of learning as well as providing a more petitive environment for teachers. Generally speaking, there are two factors for students to consider when choosing their favorite lectures. First and foremost is the teacher’s academic ability, as the students hope to get more knowledge in a specific field. Secondly, the teacher’s personality is also taken into account. If the teacher is kind, charming and humorous, the students will be more likely to enjoy the classes they attend and learn a lot from the good example the teacher sets Nevertheless, attention should be paid to the measure of free choosing lecturers because it has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it encourages the students to choose their ideal lecturers and take active part in classes. This in turn exerts pressure on the lecturers as they all want to be “the chosen one” and thus will improve their own teaching. On the other hand, some excellent but serious and strict lecturers may be ignored and have no classes to teach because they don’t know how to please the students.
