[quote=Anonymous]I have taught at several universities. Attendance isn't required for most classes. I certainly had students who never came to class, unless an exam was taking place. I did teach at one university where attendance was recorded electronically, and counted toward the grade. I did not have access to those records until the final, end of term calculation. Many large lecture classes have hundreds of students, and you never learn students' names. The teaching assistants might learn them, but not showing up to your small group session is even more common than not showing up to lecture. In many cases, the only contact info you have for a student is their campus email. Contacting them via any other means is considered unprofessional. When I had advisees who never came to see me, there were people I could contact to check on them. There was never an issue. Certainly, some students in distress did reach out to the university for help. [/quote]
