Attendance in College

Should attendance be compulsory in college?

attendance in college..... is a damn joke... and never to be taken seriously... for one fact and one fact only. Why do they need to make it compulsory? if the teachers are ACTUALLY teaching the sbject properly and with earnest...if they are teaching it dutifully to the point that they have the student's attention then no one will bunk college....however if we have silly pathetic teachers who say dialogues like, "even I am reading this subject with you for the first time" you damn sure can expect that we are gonna bunk or create havoc,if present in class. attendance being compulsory gives us all the more reason to NOT sit... coz as teens...many a times... we hate playing by the rules.

depends on the level of education it should be compulsory till school but in college, a student should be allowed to decide him/herself. Not attending classes will make the student lose whats taught in the class but again teachers should devise novel teaching methods to attract students in class in college where education is beyond just studying text books. College is supposed to shape the minds of students and lead them to maturity and that shouldn't happen under any sort of compulsion

According to me yes .. there should be minimum hours of attendace required .. that gives students more chance to interact with the peers and learn faster. If a student is not interested in attending classroom sessions then he/she should opt for distance education instead that gives more room for ppl interested in going in for classroom studies.

attendence is important as its part of the fees (your paying the teacher to yap so might as well go see what he/she has to say). Many colleges dont let students write final exms if they dont fulfill a certain percent of attendence. Its good - it shows some level of dedication. tc :)
