Mandatory Attendance

Student tardy rates have significantly hindered their attendance at CSI zero period classes. This has affected student achievement levels, and the rate at which students are retained in the CSI program, thus leading to a high student retention rate in CSI from year to year. This also results in large CSI class sizes that are not beneficial to student learning. In addition, when interviewing CSI teachers, it is apparent that numerous attempts were made to communicate with parents and remedy the attendance problem, however students continued to show up late to school, or miss zero period completely.

Students who miss class at Arapahoe Community College, often feel overwhelmed due to the limited amount of resources available. These students mostly miss class for family emergencies, sickness, or making up work for other classes. When

A person may either agree or disagree with Piper’s view. Since I have expressed his view on the matter, let me point out my own opinion. I propose that grade reduction based on attendance confuses a student because this unsuccessful form of grading causes a student to believe that his academic performance is not as important as showing up to a certain number of classes. In agreement to my opinion, Piper says that “my refusal to attend class does not excuse

One of the things they take into consideration is their attendance to refund money back. Which is understandable, going to class has its value but attendance should not be enforced. If attendance is being taken, it should not be a factor in students grade. Most times It doesn’t reflect their understanding of the materials taught throughout the course. Professors assume that enforced attendance policy would force the students to come to class. But that's not the case. Students has to want to be there to learn. There are other things that goes into the student

To begin, one reason I love the attendance policy is because it teaches students that school is a number one priority. Students are limited on the number of absences they receive each year, which teaches students about responsibility. In recent

In so that “Nobody Has to Go to School If They Don’t Want To”, Roger Sipher argues that if compulsory attendance rules were abolished students who actually wanted to learn in school would receive the education they deserve. In the beginning, Sipher points out that “the decline in standardized test scores is an indicator that American education in in trouble.” He states one reason for the crisis is that “the mandatory attendance laws force many kids to attend school that don’t even wish to be there.” These students have no desire to learn; therefore, they do not get an education and they distract the students who want to learn from doing so. In his view, without compulsory attendance laws public schools would be able to eliminate the students whose behavior is negatively affecting the mission of the educational institute. In addition, Sipher notes that since students know they are going to be passed from grade to grade until they are old enough to drop out, or graduate; they fail to do their homework and receiving low grades does not motivate them to want to learn. In his opinion, there certainly would be a lot of positive changes to the education system by abolishing the attendance laws. In the end, Sipher says that schools should be for education and right now, they

College, when it works most reliably, is a complex system of designed norms and nudges that make activities such as going to class, studying, writing papers, and interacting with peers a natural, almost automatic part of each day. Students spend most of their time on or near campus, where those around them have similar goals or are supporting them in their goals. Their diversions from classwork—whether

When a group member is absent, other member are responsible for informing the absent member on what has been done in class. They should be informed on tasks that have been completed, and given necessary work that can be done at

I will establish credibility with my audience by researching on the time and money students and professors spend on parking and coffee monthly/annually. I will also provide evidence on how free parking and free coffee in college can lead to a more efficient learning environment. As a college student, I have similar experience; therefore, I

Should colleges have mandatory attendance polices? while many students will disagree many will agree, like me. the reason I think colleges should have mandatory attendance is to make sure students are doing work, and to make sure students don't fall behind in classes, also to make sure they know what they are doing and lastly, to make sure students pass the class by making sure they are getting the right information needed for quizzes, test, and exams.

College students’ futures are important because all students have their own dreams. College student’s have to think about their majors and work hard in their programs. In order to be successful in classes, the college students have to study hard, listen to what the Instructors say for the assignment, follow all the rules, and show respect to instructors and a classmates. In addition, a students need to come on time, sign in as an attendees, and never be absent from any classes. Also, if all students do hard work in their assignments, that

Attendance is not good at Marshall Metro’s, I believe they used a little of all the four need theories, by summing using their motivation tactics. They wanted to motivate the behavior of students, they needed with positive reinforcement, growth, and achievements, this will drive students to do better in this part of their life. Although, with using motivation I lean towards more of McClelland’s Acquired Needs Theory (Kinicki & Williams, 2013, slide 3). Achievement, affiliation, and power are the three needs for this theory Marshal Metro’s has a problem in their attendance, students were not wanting to show up to class. One way to excel at getting better attendance is when Mrs. Henry made home calls.

Attendance policies are put in place as a means for instructors to clearly state the expectations they hold for their students. If a student does not believe they need to be educated then there are options such as to test out of the course. I do, however, understand that life is not entirely predictable and things come up that may require a leave of absence; In which case stringent attendance policies could be considered on a case-by-case basis as an exception to the rule. That being said, the author did not persuade me into believing that doing away with attendance policy completely would benefit the

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.

A prerequisite to success in any in any endeavor is "showing up", and classes are no exception. If you're not showing up to class, you're forfeiting every opportunity provided to you in the classroom.
