Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Hello everyone.

In my opinion, there is no need to make attendance compulsory if the college will provide good theory plus practical knowledge and lectures should be interactive. If this happens in our colleges students will attend the classes themselves. There is a need to change in the education system to attract student as current education system provides backdated knowledge which is not applicable in the industry.

So, the relevant syllabus should be made then there will be no need to make attendance compulsory.

Thanks.

Hello everyone.

So, today's topic is is it right to compel us for attending the college or let it on the student. In my point of view, attendance should not be compelled us for college. Let me elaborate this my some points.

- first thing is now we are older enough to understand that what is good for us and what is bad. If I feel that important that I have to go there is no need to compel me for the same.

-college time is the only time when you can do the things that you love.

- in college time study the subject is not the only key to get success in this time we have to learn many other things. Means we have to develop ourselves. Develop skills we have to be better in every aspect.

-the main thing is if teachers teach us the level that we are interesting. Why we start to bunking the classes is we feel like we are wasting our time without gaining.

- college should improve their teaching quality.

So what I mean to say that let student decides in what they have to involve themselves they know where do's lead to them.

According to me, yes it is really necessary but it should not be 100% it is OK with 75% and the reason behind it is that as we come to a teenage we start thinking many things and one moment in life comes that we get distracted. If your mind is focused then it is well-en good but mostly are distracted. Yah it is true If the teacher cannot create interest in the class, there is no point in attending his classes regularly but there many other teachers who explains very well.

Let me give you my own example,

We have total 8 subjects with 7 teachers and strength is around 52 std. Out of 7 teachers, 6 explains very well by giving practical examples but although teachers are explaining well enough student don't give proper attention. In our class, only 34 std study with interest and all others makes them self-busy in doing useless things and this thing is out of mind for me.

But at least by compulsory attendance, it is possible that students will gain somewhat knowledge just by hearing, writing or direct asking question by teachers which is not possible if they are not going to college.

According to my point of view, the attendance in college are compulsory but not 100% at least 50 to 60%.

The main reason behind that'.

If we attend 50 to 60% college atleast we have some theoretical as well as some practical knowledge and now days practical knowlege is more importent to survive in any organization or industry.

That is very helpful for our upcoming future.

But if we do not attend the classes and lab then we have not any practical knowledge.

We can pass the university exam by study through the internet and many materials available in the market only to pass the exam.

BUT.

By this we can get only degree NOT a good job.

Yes, attendance should be there for the students to improve their practical knowledge.

Nowadays, compulsory attendance means to force the students to come college and attend the lectures atleast but this thinking has nothing to do with better education for youth.

I would like to explain, why it is not needed.

1. During exam time, we take notes from the front benchers because in every class atleast one student is always making serious notes without caring for attendance. So even if students attend the class, they will not have attention towards lectures which is a failure of the aim of making compulsory attendance.

2. Our internet media nowadays are more friendly enough to make things understandable than our teachers, so students do not go to ask the doubt in college, instead of, they just google it.

So, compulsory attendance is like a jail if you are not interested in attending classes.

Yes, in my opinion, attendance should be compulsory in College. As í am pursuing MBA my attendance is 100% till 3 rd semester. And Its feel good When you have complete attention towards your study. You get a habit of getting up Early in morning and get ready for College. This habit Will help in future When we Will be working in a company or MNC.

So, in my opinion, attendance is compulsory.

Hello everyone,

First of all, compulsory attendance is not really needed. Let me elaborate,

There are some students who come to college for gaining some knowledge and then there are those students who are forced to attend college due to pressure from parents. There is also a choice conflict. Some students may not like the branch or subject and hence they bunk classes, or they might feel that they are not gaining anything out of the subject. These days our education system is not compatible. Whether the student likes the class or not he/she has no choice but to attend them as shortage of attendance can detain them or they won't have enough credits to go to the next semester. I think that we should be given our freedom to decide what we want to study and how we want to study. Compulsory attendance just binds us to the college like a contract.

Attendance should be compulsory as per my views but I would say it should be compulsory in some limit. Most of the college attendance compulsion is 75% but I will suggest it should not more than 60%. If a person want to do any other research or work but he cannot do because of the class attendance. If we compulsion of the attendance should decrease till 60% then student can do their own research or other work.

I want to ask a question that what is the purpose of attending class above 75 % attendence?

The answer is just for learning and gaining knowledge but you know very well that every teacher are not able to do this kind of knowledge or subject which are not interesting and just for making the marks.

And college assume that we are workers just doing duty from 9 to 5 not at all we are students who wants to make career with our interest and grow our skills but all that happens not in a limitation. Learning is a thing that can take from anywhere, anytime but not in prison where they are forcing you to do something that is not understandable and beneficial for their growth.

At the end I collect my points and conclude that 40-50 % attendence is enough apart from 75 college can give the tasks which is beneficial for their future.

Thank you.
