Some professors in universities and some departments have very tight polices related with attendance. There are many universities and colleges in the world which doesn’t consider regular attendance in their grading part system. Sometime if the professor knows about the excessive number of times the student was absent they will mark the name of student and the final grade of that class is lowered. This topic is an issue of debate all over the world. Some people support this rule while other is against this rule. In this paper, I have presented many arguments in favor of strict attendance policy while some arguments are against the strict attendance policy. Students in college and universities are matured enough to take their own decision (Bastedo, …show more content…
The first phase of the knowledge is learning. If the student attends the classes regularly with interest and attention his learning capability increases with time. The professor can also motivate the students about the learning by delivering the lecture properly and making sure that the knowledge is delivered to every student in the class. The second phase of the knowledge is skill development. The teacher can deliver the lecture to the students by providing the examples or applications of daily life which develops the skills of the students about certain subject which is being discussed in the class (Mar burger, 2006). Skill development is another benefit of the mandatory attendance policies. The third phase of the learning is judgment. Attending the classes regularly will enhance the learning capability and skills of the students which helps them to make judgments on different scenarios in of daily life about a certain subject (An, 2006).
Class participation is another important benefit of mandatory attendance policies. The evaluation of the student can also be done on the class participation. Professors also take a quiz or ask a bonus question in the class to increase the attention and interest of students in the particular subject. Evaluation on class participation also increases the interest of the students in particular subject and towards the
how often student have to speak that makes the class great and participation grades take off? According to Schuman and some other professor, who have implemented same teaching processes such as engaging students in a small group presentation, interactive worksheeets, and coerced participation found that class involment helped students to overcome fear. Such activities encourage all kinds of the student to take part in class and establish good participation. However, some Professor didn't care about a students class participation. As a result, the shy student left behind the course. throughout the article, Schuman clearly explains as a mentor to the reticent students and the outspoken students how to plan for course, take part in the lesson and boost grades. For example, Schuman wrote, "The wide-eyed earnestness of a timid but studious young person can melt a professor's overworked little heart." She encourages the shy students to keep touch with the professor and ask a substantive question before or after class, visit office hours and E-mail. In addition, she said, "While you are doing the reading, you will likely find that two or three questions come to your mind. Write those questions down so that you can just ask verbatim during class." She teaches outspoken student how to prepare for a lesson before attending class. She shrewdly contends, that the outspoken student
Having a system for managing students’ behavior is important for the students and for the teacher. Students need to be acknowledged when they do something well so they can do it again. Even as adults we sometimes need acknowledgement. I know at my job we are always acknowledged when we get a customer to apply for a credit or debit card. If the students are not being acknowledge for their good deeds they wouldn’t want to try harder to do that same behavior again or even try harder. They need a system that challenges them and lets them know what would happen if they behave well. Having an effective system in place also keeps the teacher prepared for certain situations and with a system in place the students will strive to do well so they can receive the benefits of the system in place.
Trying to implement a mandatory attendance policy at the university would be a terrible idea. The students should have to make a decision whether or not to come to class on their own initiative, not only to teach them to be responsible for their own actions but would also weed out the students who were not really focused on learning. Most college students have never been subject to the real world and many need to learn that they have to do things own their own without any outside influence because in most situations once out on their own no one will be looking over their shoulder to make sure they go to work or even meet any other required appointments. School is not a right it is a privilege and people need to realize that if learning is not taken seriously there can be extreme consequences.
First, grade inflation reduces students’ efforts that they put into school and “helicopter” parents exasperate this problem. According to the authors James E. Côté and Anton L. Allahar in their book Lowering Higher Education, students try to schedule everything around their full time jobs rather than actually scheduling activities and jobs around their university schedules (118). The expense of school becomes a burden especially when parents’ make their children pay for it. Teachers understand students have to take on jobs to pay for schooling or to care for others, but they also expect the work done on time and students attend class mentally and physically, which offers a reason as to why students should consider part time schooling. Although this might prove difficult, students can fin...
While studying or even registering for a class presents a challenge to some college students, the greatest obstacle remains, going to class. Attending college is supposed to signify a new found freedom to make many important choices regarding education without high school mandatory attendance policies. However, students everywhere are coming to the staggering realization that college is not too different from high school. Teachers still take class roll and students are still expected to be at every class on time. What next, hall monitors in the hall? The time has come for action to be taken. Colleges must abolish mandatory student attendance policies for several reasons to be further discussed.
When one allows some form of behavior to thrive in the classroom without proper guidance, it quickly develops into unacceptable behavior. It is better to prevent classroom incivility than to deal with the consequences later on. The instructors can incorporate their expectations of behavior in the class syllabus and revisit them from time to time. These may include class attendance, lateness, and use of laptops during class, and side talking. Clear policies should be set regarding the punishments for breaking any of the set rules. The institution’s code of conduct and the penalties for grave breaches should also be included so that students are aware of the policies and the expectations of the institution (Miller et al.
Teachers in college for the most part don't really care whether or not you are in class. All it means is that if you are not there, you are going to get a failing grade if it happens too often. Missing too many classes will cause the teacher to withdraw you from the class, resulting in a failing grade. If you do it the smart way you would withdraw from the class yourself because then it would have no negative effect on your overall G.P.A. In high school the teachers are always on you about attendance. If you miss too many days you can fail. If you are not in class they want to know why. They also want a note from your parents excusing you from class. Some schools even want your parents to call you in sick if you are not going to be there. If you do not have a note they can write you up for an unauthorized absence and, give you a detention.
A high school class and a college class are conducted in different ways. In high school, teachers exercise control over the flow of information, while college professors encourage the student to seek out pertinent information. Throughout the year, a high school teacher will remind the student of upcoming due dates and assignment requirements. If a student misses a test or homework assignment, the teacher will provide missing notes or study guides so that the student is kept up to date with the rest of the class. For example; when I was in high school, I missed a week of school to go on vacation with my family. My mother spoke with my teacher before we left and he agreed to let me turn in my homework when I returned to class. Furthermore, my teacher allowed me to make up the single quiz that I missed during my absence. Neither the late homework, nor the missed quiz reflected in my grade. A college professor would have made me choose between a good grade and a vacation with my family. In contrast, the college professor...
Mandatory attendance policy does not really enhance students' school performance as it's usually expected. Some teachers and schools believe students would study better if they come to class regularly. They argue that all lessons in text books should be explained, discussions should be held with full class. If students do not come to class, they would study nothing or make no progress. Some even think of students as lazy creatures who play truant to do everything they like but homework or assigned reading, so they take roll-call to ensure that all students come to class and work with them. What i can say is that attending class regularly does not mean you will have better understanding or performance. Some students sometimes miss class but they still study well. That's because there are some lessons they can study by themselves at home without spending too much time as those who study in class. On the other hand, so...
The reasons for cheating on college exams has many facets, however the behavior not only impacts the cheater but, has unintended consequences, which can affect others as well. Some of the well- known implications or consequences of cheating may involve getting a zero on the exam or failing the course. Furthermore depending how severe the offence, they may be expelled. In fact they can be required to go before a disciplinary board. Depending on the circumstances it may result in academic probation. However, some profe...
Osman, Rachel. "Should class attendance be mandatory? Students, professors say no." USA Today College. 25 March 2012: Web. 11 Dec. 2013.
Students went to school for five days a week. For students earn a spot of weekend school, they will go to school for the whole week. How they earn a spot for the weekend school is simple, like tossing a small piece of trash on the road. When a student either commits a small misbehavior against the school rules or receives a huge zero on different subjects. Then he or she would be the next candidate for the infamous Weekend School program. There are protests between students and teachers but the only victor is the teachers because they are the enforcers, the masters, and the second family of the students. They would be free of the weekend school in exchange if they reflect their action or did improve their studying, and then they can leave the weekend
Attendance is a crucial aspect of a student’s education. When a student is tardy or absent, this interferes with them receiving the information given in class. Class introductions that include instructions, objectives, due dates, etc. may be missed if a student is tardy and if a student is absent, they may also get behind on their class work and homework. Communication between teacher and students about the classroom management procedures for these two things are important so that students are informed and are able to take the initiative to gather what they have missed which can help avoid them falling behind. If tardies and absences are frequent, a teacher may begin to be concerned and question what could be the possible reasons behind it, whether that be an outside force in a student’s life or something that may be happening in the teacher’s own classroom. Establishing a relationship and reflecting upon oneself as a teacher to why the class might be having
Absenteeism is intentional or habitual absence in the workplace. It not only reduces the productivity, but also makes the company lose a lot of money. The issue of absenteeism should not be ignored. In order to help the company to reduce the cost and increase the productivity, the employers or the managers have a responsibility to know about the causes of absenteeism and how to reduce the absenteeism. There are some common causes of absenteeism that the managers should know that, such as workplace`s bullying, workplace`s condition, employee`s health, and unfairness. In the follow part, this research paper will show you how these issues relate to the absenteeism, and will also show you how to reduce the absenteeism. Absenteeism can be prevented or reduced, the cost cause by absenteeism can also be improved. The managers should know that.
Another major reason that students responded is that they had too much freedom and not enough rules. In other words, they feel that they were able to do whatever they wanted. Therefore, they missed class whenever they pleased because they taught it was not important and that nobody would care. Teachers and school administrators need to be strict regarding to attendance. Students need to see that it is really important to attend school everyday so that they attend in a regular basis. The last major reason that students drop out school is that they fail in school and they give up. According to the report, students said that no one would help them when they were having trouble with something. They did not get any support from most of their teachers so they give up and drop out of school. I think that students who are failing a class are the ones that need more support since they tend to frustrate when they do not understand something. Tutoring sessions and help from the teacher it is very important to help students who are struggling with the material. In this way, students will find the material a little bit
