Class Attendance Should Be Compulsory
Although some students argue that class attendance
should not be compulsory either because the
classes are boring or because they can learn
more on their own, I believe that making class
attendance compulsory is beneficial for
both students and teachers.
First, it is beneficial for students because most
universities have a regulation that states if students
miss one-third of their classes they will not be
allowed to take the final exam. So students
being absent from class punish themselves
by missing out on the exam and face having
to retake the class during the next semester.
Furthermore, many teachers tie in attendance
with marks. For example, my English teacher awards
10 percent of the final marks for attendance with
percent being deducted for every absence. In some
cases, lack of attendance could mean the difference
between a pass or fail. Second, it is beneficial for
teachers because a full class complement shows
respect for the teacher and the university education
system. If a teacher prepares to teach a class it is
only right that students turn up to be taught. If it is
not compulsory for students to attend classes then
teachers could say that what is good for the goose is
good for the ganders too and refuse to take classes.
Clearly this would lead to a breakdown of the entire university system.
In conclusion, making class attendance compulsory benefits
both students and teachers by allowing students
to maximize their marks and allowing teachers
to be respected for their professional duties.
