Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Hai friends!

In my opinion attendance is mandatory Yes It's really mandatory. Especially for professional students attendance is mandatory cuz by attending the classes we can learn some thing in a day.

Advantage: one of the main advantage is you will get some knowledge about your subjects and you will get a good score in your midterm exams, internal and externals lab & semesters buy end of your graduation you will have a good percentile.

Compulsory attendance in college is not at all needed. College students are above 18, they are more concerned about future then college administrator. All of us are very much aware with the quality of teaching availed in colleges. Compulsion must be made on the basis of % scored in exam. Compulsory attendance does not play any role in students live it rather hamper their creativity and talent.

Good morning every one.

I think that compulsory attendance in college has both advantages and disadvantages, coming on to advantages I would like to say that as for daily attendance we are creating a good habbit of waking early for college, and if we are attending a class of prop who is sound in his knowledge and able to express.

And coming on to disadvantages is many colleges having bad prop qualaity they don't have good knowlege of the subject they are taking and forcing student to have attendance of 75% or otherwise giving threat of backlog or calling parents etc.

Yes.

By my point of view, attendance should be maintained, but it should be up to the mark, not force full declaration to the students must attend class without their interest, As I wish if lecturer is at interesting way of teaching the student to sit then it makes some meaning, otherwise with bored teaching leads to student thinks others, simply time wasting and get demotivate on that subject.

For sake of know little bit of computational world, leadership and knowledge about their subject he/she should maintain minimum attendance.

Over view, the thinking capacity of person will increase be learned through by some tutorials, and by own, it makes to think and innovate something new to the world.

Thank you.

I believe compulsory attendance is not necessary for college students. The number one reason being that the students pay for the education. They should be given freedom on how they use the service (college) that they are paying for. Secondly, the idea that attendance is necessary for every class and for every student is narrow minded. Each student learns differently and has different experiences, so the way that one would go about making a good grade could be significantly different from another person.

In regards to a students learning preference, one student may gain more from reading and self study while another students learns from listening. For the one who learns from reading and self study, attending every class session could be a tremendous waste of time due to the fact that the student gains barely anything from listening to the teacher and will have to spend extra time outside of the class reading and studying the material. Other the other hand, the student who learns from listening just needs to show to class to learn. To them, attendance would be absolutely necessary.

On the matter of experience, one student may already he significantly experienced with the subject material, while another student has no experience. Each student must take the class. For the person who already knows the material, the only thing they need from the class is the grade which proves they know the material. They don't necessarily need the teacher's lectures or resources. On the other hand, the student with no experience will need to attend class.

My overall point is that how a student goes about receiving a good grade should be flexible enough to where the student can do well without wasting their time. If a student can make a great grade without attending a class, they should be allowed to miss.

According to my point of view, there should not be any compulsion of attendance in college because college is a time where students should be involve in career oriented activities which need not to be done with regular college. It should be done compulsory in school because it is a time to inculcate discipline.

Hi guys, I am Swathi.

This is the good topic to discuss on.

Compulsory attendance is a must for kids because they can't do it on their own. i.e for school children they will go to school and learn from their teachers.

While talking about college, compulsory attendance is not at all necessary.

Because we know our talents right?

We can complete the whole syllabus a day before the exam, can't we?Which teachers can't complete teaching the whole year.

We can't blame teachers may be they know our talents so they are lenient.

Good evening one and all.

Yeah, compulsory attendance really needed in College because by the time students going to the college they will be in the teenage. So this teenage is like a poison that won't make them come to college regularly. If compulsory attendance is there. At least they will go to college regularly. Because if they are absent. Absent message will be sent to their parents so they will come to college regularly. That regularity will make them settled in their life. Because if they go to college they will get some knowledge by listening to their lecturers. Many people think I can read even by staying at home but it's impossible. Of course, they can but not like the others who come to college because no one is there at home to punish if you have done mistakes but in college even though you don't have the interest to read you will read because you have fear about your lecturer so that you can learn something than nothing.

Yes, attendance is must otherwise whats the use of taking admission if we are not interested in lectures. But the college time should be less. Instead of just giving theoretical knowledge they should concentrate on practical knowledge and applications then only students will take interest in lectures and they will attend college regularly.

I think there is no need of compulsory attendence in college. It is because now we are studying such a things which used in industry 20 years ago and there is a college for all about 9 hours of a day. Means we are actually wasted 9 hours of a day in studying those things which are not in existence. Due to this attendence we all are not able to learn new things, new technologies and we indirectly lagging in competition. We are putting more efforts to learn all outdated technology and studies hard to be topper in class but it is really not useful. In IIT, BITS PILLANI there is no compulsion of attendence and because of this reason only they are able to crack interviews of google, microsoft company. It is because company needs candidates who know about existing and widely used technology. So to learn all this existing and widely used technology we need extra time because our syllabus doesn't contain existing and widely technology. Thus we need some more time to learn all those thing and to be expert in those. It makes easier way for us to sustain in a competition.
