Because attendance is required for the first three weeks of the new semester, attendance will be taken at each of those class sessions. I will also be taking attendance for the remainder of the semester which will be considered 50% of your participation grade. I will consider sports travel when appropriately notified by your coach. The balance of your participation grade will result from your homework being submitted timely.…
Should a student be graded on his or her attendance in class? No, a student should not be graded on their attendance in class. A student should be graded on their work that they do in class not the fact they are sometimes not in attendance.…
Class Attendance: I will expect that you have read the assigned material prior to class. Students will…
Since we will rely a great deal upon in-class work including, discussion, peer review, and small group work, it is essential that you attend class in order to both get the most for your hard paid tuition and also to help your classmates in their learning. You will be allowed one unexcused absence. Further days missed (barring extreme extenuating circumstances) will negatively effect your grade. You are responsible for completing any work done in class on days you have missed. If you will be missing a class due to the observance of a religious holiday, you MUST notify me via email by Monday, September 3rd in order to not have it count as an unexcused…
It provides a lot of pressure onto students, parents, and teachers. If students fail to meet these requirements, drowsy Lizzy will continue to bob her head and tyranny unleashes. The absent day policy should be revised to include missing an entire month of school. Now I’m not saying that students should use and abuse the policy of make-up work, I’m just saying they shouldn’t be penalized if they NEED to be off-island for medical treatments or if their family member passes away. I hope that my proposal is heard and put into effect immediately, because the fate of Lethargic Lizzy’s droopy eyes, lies within the click of your pen, and you have a limited amount of time until the school goes vacant because of this ridiculous policy. Please, consider my proposal and choose…
First of all, the rules of the attendance policy are strict. The attendance policy does not distinguish between excused or unexcused absences. I do not think that having an unexcused absence is the same as an excused absence. I think that there should be a difference between an excused absence and an unexcused absence. Secondly, the policy is placed to help college students be more responsible. But, I feel like having a attendance policy is not teaching student to be responsible but it is placed there to act like a parent. In high school, some parents would wake their children up to go to school and it was mandatory but, the attendance policy is acting like the parents by forcing them to go to class. College students should learn responsibility by facing the consequences for not going to class. In the professional world, the employers are not going to have an attendance sheet going around to see if their employees are in. the employees have to take responsibility and show up and face the punishment if they do not show up for work. I think that certain classes should be a little stricter on their attendance policy. Fro the classes that are more vital to the professional world should apply an attendance policy that would help students learn but not force them to go to…
Data and statistics proved that attendance was a continual issue, creating far-reaching problems such as students becoming more and more accustomed to not attending school, eventually feel hopeless in their ability to catch up, as well as making it challenging for the teachers to stay on track with their curricula (Kinicki & Williams, 2012). To address that, and increase the grade of the school, the attendance office attempted numerous strategies to increase attendance, especially for the most chronic offenders.…
Many factors are not taken into account when making certain classes required. All students have varying interests and to require students to take classes outside the area they want to pursue would have a negative effect in the long run. It has the potential to create an unenthusiastic environment, especially for those who actually want to be in the class. To impose such requirement could have the potential to bring negative impacts to the school…
Another reason, attendance policies do not do a good job of reflecting the importance of a class. Furthermore the inconsistent attitudes professors have towards them are confusing to student. Therefore, when faces with so many varying opinions on the importance or unimportance of attendance policies, students lose the basic point. However, every student should attend all classes. Not only are professor there to teach you in the first place, you paid to learn. Not going to class is essentially throwing money away while pretending to be a student.…
Music, Drama, and Art classes should not be required, but should be electives. They have no value to students that aren't interested. The classes are identified as talents not things like math or english. Or it will take up space on the student's schedule that could be used for a more valued…
The virtues of this includes treating students as consumers of education rather than kindergarten children by letting the student know that the professor holds classroom attendance in the students best interest, and will provide quality instruction to the students who attend. Excessive absenteeism can affect the outcome of the career path that the student has chosen.…
I believe attendance is essential to a student understanding and success over all in school. This is my first goal. Attending school on a constant…
to be mandatory because they don’t want to “waste” space on their schedule because they want to take as many academic classes as possible. However, too many AP classes, and too much time sitting and studying, can cause too much stress which damages their health. For example, according to Collegeboard, 33.4% of students took an AP class in the year 2013. Symptoms of stress include headaches and fatigue and many thinking problems. On the contrary, exercise can help reduce stress, and is good for the brain so students don’t have to face that stress, no matter how much work they have. Furthermore, no class or free period is more important than a person’s health. Would you rather have another A, or would you rather do something that benefits your entire future. Taking P.E. will allow you to be happy in the future as well. Taking at least one period for exercise is mandatory, for the future, and to maintain…
One of the main arguments in favor of requiring attendance is that good attendance is needed to develop a strong sense of community in a classroom, and to foster a healthy sense of class participation. For instructors who choose to stick with the old lecture model, this isn't an issue. However, many instructors opt to have a participatory classroom filled with discussions and activities. This kind of teaching requires quite a bit more effort, and if it works well, the experience can be very beneficial and rewarding for students. However, students have to show up for this to work and take mutual responsibility to participating in class discussion-- and failure to show up and participate hurts the experience of other students.…
Class Attendance. A significant portion of your learning is dependent on your participation in, and contribution to, the classroom community. You are expected to be in class, turn in all work on time, and significantly contribute to the classroom discussion. You should notify me personally in advance regarding all approved absences. You may be…
