Bad attendance at uni

[iBlueBox]

I've got really bad attendance at uni the past semester missing a lot of workshops / classes.

It's only because that some modules I've struggled in and others I've missed from sleeping in as I have a really bad sleeping pattern, where I'm awake at like 5AM,

What is everyone else's attendance?

i used to have bad attendance at college last year bc i hated english lit
i'm not too bad this year think i'm on like 89% but that's through missing tutor

89% is quite bad really, although tutor period is pretty much pointless, seems silly that it would have an impact on your attendance

As for the thread, I'm not entirely sure what you want us to say. Go to bed earlier? Trust me, you don't want to get into a habit of skipping Uni - it's been constantly proved that good attendance = good grades. So either go to lectures, or good luck for the endless cramming you'll do when exams come along.

If you struggle in a module then it's not wise to skip it. Talk about digging yourself a hole!
I used to skip a module cos I already knew most of it from A Level Sociology so I still managed to do well in that but if you're struggling, you need to go talk to your lecturer and see if there's anything you can do to get rid of that mental block. You shouldn't just give up.

it's good considering what it was like last year haha

and yeah i agree, half the time the tutor doesn't show up either..

What's your attendance percentage? I'm surprised if it's really quite low it hasn't been picked up yet (then again it probably has - but no one has done anything about it) lol

judging by this thread, maybe u have narcolepsy? u appear to have fallen asleep even without finishing what you were going to say. go to a doctor about that.

Uni is about learning independently, DO NOT expect tutors to come running around after you and picking up your slack, they just won't. Take responsibility for your education, it's costing you a bloody bomb so might as well get your money worth. Time management and organisation are key skills to learn so ask tutors if there are any study skills workshops that can help you out.

If you're struggling then don't just put it off, ask about it. Ask tutors, peers, friends and family for their perspective. Do not go it alone, you are surrounded by people that are there to support you and want you to succeed so make use of them.
