Yesterday our attendance for the semester was released. I was surprised to see my name on the list & that too in a subject I had thought I had attended the most classes in. Exams begin after 2 days & my whole day got ruined taking care of this new thing. Man its not like I have my courses revised and digested a year before the exam. I start my preparation at last minute & so today happens to be a precious day to lose. After spending a day running around the campus from the academic to administrative sections it so happens that yesterday's news was a fiasco for many. It happens the teacher has misplaced the 2 out of 4 attendance sheets was so the calculation was based on 1/2 of the entries. What a joke??!!
Anyway what puzzles me is....why the f-- is attendance important? Like if a student gets ace grades without attending a single lecture do you praise his intelligence, confidence & independence OR do you condemn him for rejecting what he doesn't need? It is a very silly meaningless system i n fact...I say all students should get together with the common agenda of not attending a single class and bring high grades. Let the profs see how expendable they are...I say screw the attendance & while you are at it screw the profs as well.....:0

haha!! unrest in your mind there,eh?well since i am on it,let me as well tell you,that while I write this comment,I am also playing traunt from classes..good that they have no such system of 'attendance' here but I could have written this for sure!!
Any system which doesn't compel students to attend classes is more than heaven....i wish i were there..really i think its only a way for teachers to please their ego...is only NCSU exempt from this horror or is it not there in States at all?
