Some teachers prefer to record the lecture in advance so that students can familiarize first. In the class, students raise questions and discuss content related to the lecture. Do you think this method effective?
In contemporary school, there is more knowledge which students required to comprehend, while the class hours diminished. Thus, it is really a setback for teachers stating all points in the class. Some teachers, especially in university, give students record of lecture before class to help them get an early state of understanding about contents. However, in my perspective, I think it is not an appropiate approach for reasons as follows.
To begin with, it is impractical to ask students spend extra hours out class to watch the videos. To withstand the fierce completion in society, nowadays students have to learn a plethora of skills which not overlap with academic knowledge. Therefore, they don’t have enough spare time for watching such videos. For instance, to pave the way for my future career, I have to spend almost every evening on studying English and doing projects. Also, I have a professor who like give assignments about watching his lecture videos; I really don’t have enough time to do so. Consequently, I just pretend I have watched it, gaining nothing from his classes.
Furthermore, it will be low efficient to learn by students themselves. On the one hand, the record will not explain itself; the professor’s instruction is indispensible when point is difficult to illustrate. If students learn these things by themselves, it is possible that they will draw out a wrong conclusion. A typical case is that I learned mass transportation engineering last semester. Once I had to fig out some key points in my text-book by myself, because I miss the class. Tough I have endeavored to solve the problems, they seemed just become more and more confusing. Hence, I met my professor of the class the second day. Surprisingly, she helped me fig it out within five minutes. Therefore, I think an instructor can make things different. On the other hand, discussion on class can be time-consuming, because students are likely disrupted by other topic, such as an interesting television program showed yesterday or an up-to-date video game. As a result, a lot of time is occupied, whereas minor benefits it can create. Were I student who want to really gain something from the class, It might as well just listen professor speaking on stage.
In light of all above arguments, I believe it is safe to say that it is too idealistic to ask students to learn by themselves with lecture record. It is neither easy to practice nor high efficient. I think It is not appreciable.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
