[quote=Anonymous]I’m a professor at a SLAC and it would take about a week of absences for me to check in with a student. Then I’d email them directly, and if I didn’t hear back, I’d escalate to sending a report on attendance. At my campus that’s rare- students are generally very good at letting me know if they have to miss class for any reason. I would never phone a student. It’s the RAs jobs to meet with residents, I think they have weekly meetings. They should notice something, or be alerted by a peer if a student is unwell. I do care and I do my best, but it’s not really part of my job description to keep tabs on them. I’ve taught previously at an R1 and community college and we just assumed that students that stopped attending were not interested in continuing in the class. [/quote]
