Compulsory attendance ?? (1 Viewer)

[mikey1]

I have about 20 hours of lectures + pracs + tuts etc.

On my registration it says

Note: All lectures etc etc. are compulsory is this correct ?

Do I basically have to attend everything ?

Do you really think they will mark a roll in a 200+ lecture, use your brain before asking dumbass questions. Tutes however are usually 70-90% compulsary

Have they ever marked a roll in a lecture.... lawl that would be funny.

They tried to mark a roll in one of my smaller lectures.
Two lectures later, they gave up.

yeah they send a letter home to your parents, and you have to go see the principal if your bad attendance continues

I had a maths lecture that sent around a list with everyones name on it that we had to sign. This happened in almost ever lecture we had. They said they would take attendance in lectures into consideration come final marks, like if u were sitting on 49, theyd push you up to a 50.

In one of my I.T classes, 10% of my marks are from simply attending tutorials, as it says on my unit outline (wtf..)
All other tutorials and lectures are not compulsory. But thats in UC, I'm sure it differs from uni to uni.

We used to have to write a name on a sheet after nobody turned up. We'd all go to the lecture, sign the list, then leave. Actively marking a roll? In a 300 people lecture hall, assuming the lecturer calls a name (first and last) and a student responds once every five seconds, marking the roll would take roughly 25 minutes.

You will actually be suprised at how attentive lecturers are regarding who attends their lectures. They may not know you by name so it might not change a 49 into a 50 directly. However, I had one lecturer who based the amount of help he gave outside official contact hours on whether he recognised you as attending his lectures and blatantly spouted this policy in lectures.

In the first three weeks of lectures (6 lectures), a friend of mine had attended 2 and I had attended 6. We both went to ask a question. Our lecturer refused to see us together. My friend went in first, was told to look at the notes and he underlined a key sentence. I then went in and was given a full oral explanation and an annotated diagram. Luckily for my friend that I had been given a more thourough explanation, otherwise he would have floundered. We had always thought the lecturer had been bluffing about his policy, considering there were 150-175 people in the lecture but our scenario was the rule not the exception.

Very good point... I have had a lecturer that uses the same ethos, luckily for me I kept my nose clean too. Although you may not be marked on attendance at lectures it does sometimes pay to attend them, after all you can't expect a lecturer to issue advice when you aren't bothered to listen to his lectures in the first place?

I'm getting marked on attendance, if I get below 80% I automatically fail, but I'm not doing an undergraduate program, i'm doing an equity program at uni
