[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised there is a school who lets students miss 2 weeks of classes without a significant, valid, issue. But I’m old school and the LAC I went to took attendance and missing too many classes impacted your grade. Good for Harvard, I guess. [/quote] Participation is still a thing at my LAC alma mater, and the typical rule is you drop a letter grade if you miss two classes. Obviously there’s exceptions to the rule, but profs want you there and want to see you stumble and improve.[/quote] Two classes? That can’t be right [/quote] No it’s 2. Exceptions are given for interviews or sickness (basically excused absences), but LACs, unlike universities, often do not record lecture. Some profs might post lecture notes, but questions are done in class and your grade will drop not attending and answering them.[/quote]
