Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Hi friends, attendance is important for college students but the professors are not teaching well to tell about the subject. So they are not interested to listening class carefully. Students don't have any knowledge about the subject and waste of their time. Suppose professors try to tell a good subject to the students, they are automatically attend their classes with good interest.

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.

From my point of view, attendance should not be compulsory in school. There is a many reasons behind it. Some of which is as follows:

(1) Students are forced to join lectures even they are not interested in attending that lectures.
(2) Most of the lectures are boring.
(3) If the student will do self-study during that period then he will learn more things.
(4) Generally, college students are of the age 18+ so they are mature enough to decide what is wrong and what is right so they are not forced to do so.

Yeah, it's true that attendance is needed Bt college students means the students with hectic life and they choose a place where they get more efficient knowledge for their respective study. This needs it totally fulfil by most of the private institutes. So the importance of college get neglected & college is not providing them efficient knowledge. So attendance is low. So attendance must not be compulsory.

Hello, friends I just want to say a simple thing that the attendance within any institution depends on various factors such as teaching procedures, lab equipment etc. As we are all living in a generation where the demand for smart teaching is really very high.

When it comes to college, it is filled with students who are pre-adult viz. 18 to 25 years old so basically they recently had a load or thought of responsibility and more importantly its life, the adult independent life which gets sucked by attendance.

It's time to make a right decision and a college student can make their own so attendance just seems like a forceful law that sucks our independent.

And it's not the attendance that matter it's the students head and skills which they can develop through any means, so literally we are here for that fucking degree we always dreamt of and we have paid authority more than enough for that piece of paper so just leave us on our own.

I don't think that attendance for a college student should be necessary. Because there is no use of attendance, as students use proxy. Moreover if a student has interest in lectures of a professor then he/she would attend the lecture on his/her own. Besides If a student is good at sports or something else then he /she would go for those classes, then she/he will have to bunk the classes. That's why I think there is no need of attendance.

Attendance is really important for students since childhood. As it does not record the presence of any particular children but it all signifies that a particular child has learnt something new today.

But as the child becomes responsible there no need of compulsory attendance, because learning is not only what we get from books. Other sports and creative activities must also be included, these two must go hand in hand.

Hello everyone!

According to me, compulsory attendance is needed because if compulsory attendance is not there students are not interested to come to college. This will have an effect on students academic performance. So attendance is needed but college administration can reduce the limit of attendance percentage like it can be 50% instead of 75% or 80%.

Thank you.

Hello, everyone. I think compulsory attendance is not actually needed in college as like school. Most students bunk the classes because of boring lecturers.
