yeah i think its bullshit also. I wish attendance didn't affect my grade Most of my teachers suck at teaching and I learn most simply from doing the work myself and/or reading the assigned book. I had a class last semester where I showed up 5 days. 1st day of class, 3 test days, and the final. I got an A+. It was history. If I can skip all those days and come out with a better grade than 90% of the class....yeah. Some classes I can understand, such as public speaking and such. Can't exactly do a speech when your not there. but most attendance is utter bullshit.
