Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Hello,

I understand that in College student don't feel like to go regularly as because they feel that they are mature enough to understand and guide themselves, but I still believe that if you are a regular student in college you can change many things on you. I also agree that the changes can't just come through by the student regular attendance of the student but also with the Prof. And the institution involvement with the students. Institution became very selfish these days and they are making money by the student and professor are not paying good attention on them as they feel that they are responsible of it and also as because they are not paid enough to get enthusiasm to teach student properly. If Professor are intelligent enough and give their motivation and devotion I must believe that all the student will respect them and give India a great future. It's very important to make a student learn and understand everything as it would be a great help for the students. Students are still naive in many things. They need support and guidance. Forcing student to come to College in the name of 70% percentage is not at all a good thing because if someone doesn't like to come then force can make them sit to the classrooms nothing more than that.

I believe that if a Professors are pretty enough to influence students they'll definitely follow them. I understand going to college is always a fun feeling for the Students but that doesn't mean that students are not aware about their career. If a professor is intelligent and tell them the need and necessity of education I'm sure students will definitely follow that Professor.

I wanted to say that Teacher, Professor they are the great people who can influence a child in such a way by which a child can design his path and get success in Career. Teachers are motivator and a great influencer. They have to be strong enough to understand a student perception and also help them to achieve their goal.

I also believe that college must be a place where should be many events and occasion organized where student can highly involve and recognized; by which student will not feel bore to come. As being just in classes and studying makes anyone feel annoying. So it's should be a place where every student feel to come.

I also feel that this is last phase of a student life after that they can be anything or anyone but sure not a student so it's a institution responsibility that student must be enjoying their college days and college life. Any institution should be encouraging and motivating them to involve in every event happening their which helps a student to grow their another skill and they could understand what are the other thing they are good in.

Involvement of a student in College is necessary for their growth and they should be encouraged not to be forced to come to College in the name of attendance and it can only be done by the education department and by the good professor.

Thanks.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
