I'm pretty lazy nowadays and cbf attending my tutorials. (I've missed like 4-5 Alg and 2ish Calc, one more today makes it 3)

Question is, can they fail me despite breezing through the course? I'll probably get high DN or low HD but could they possible just fail me anyways caus I don't attend the req. amount of tutes (whatever that is)

they do for tutorials which is like classes.

80% attendance is required, but i dunno if this is absolutely compulsory or not (ie i dont think they'll fail u if u dont have 80% attendance), but just go ask the maths faculty.

"i'm pwning this course (because i know u are, tommy), will you really fail me if i dont attend the last 4 tutes?"

didnt teddy from ELEC1111 say that when you just miss out on 50 and them conditional assessment guys check your tutorial attendance and see that you didnt attend a majority of them then they can just give you a FAIL as they please?

i think this may apply to MATH1131 and MATH1231.
well i passed MATH1131 and MATH1231 liong time ago so it didnt matter anyway good old days.

yes he did, its mainly for lecturer consultation and for awarding PC's.

If you want extra help from the lecturer, they'll say "u havnt gone to tutes, so fuck off", if u want a PC they'll say "u havnt gone to tutes, so fuck off".

Don't worry about it. I missed almost half the tutes in 1131 and 1231 and still got 78 and 72 respectively. towards the end of MATH1131, I was worried about my attendance as well, so i made a call to the faculty of maths, and was literally told that they don't look at your attendance if you pass the course.

nothing to worry about, I missed half of my tuts and most of the lecs for 1131 but they didn't bother asking.

I think they only look at attendance in borderline cases. So it could make the difference between an F and a CP.

i dont really go to tutorials/lectures for maths either. I just show up for tests and shit. never had a problem. I just get more out of my time studying by myself.

like others have said, they don't care unless you're on the borderline between pass/fail.

it's university man, do what you want.
