Bad attendance at uni

[Daltron]

Bad attendance is my middle name and I usually still get HD's. Typically only 10% of my final grade will be made up from my level of attendance and participation so it's not the end of the world.

Was there a question here... Or are you just telling us?

If you're worried; does your uni take attendance? Like scan your student card in on arrival or just a register? We have that so our attendance is important but I know a few unis who don't even check if you're turning up. So far I've missed 2 lectures in 5 weeks and not had anything mentioned regarding it.

Also, with the high cost of fees it's probably better for them to keep as many students as they can, especially with less people actually going to uni at all, and I've never actually known anyone be kicked out due to bad attendance. However, if poor attendance turns into poor grades, that's a different story...

attendance in the education system stands you in good stead for when you enter the 'real world' and can't just do your work from home. Get into habit of having something to live for i.e. the pursuit of knowledge and INTERACTION with those with same desires, you unsociable freaks. I've found a lot of differences based on type of degree, namely that technology based degrees are seemingly full of autodidacts and attendance is virtually pointless cos y'all can learn it all from your soggy bed anyways. Anybody here studied something of this description that actually goes/went to their lectures etc?

not only is attendance important for me in terms of getting me into right mindset to learn but oh my god the powerpoints/notes are skeletal compared to what we actually discuss and ideas can be easier to conceptualize when you have others to bounce off.

If you read the previous page I stated that I forgot to add what is everyones else attendance was?

Our university system for attendance is simply write your name on a sheet of paper.

Also, my course leader who mentioned my attendance decided to cancel his lecture today again he's done this 2 weeks in a row.
