Don’t they grade at Mizzou?
One of the students who never bothered showing up to class missed the mid-term. He came to me wanting to have a make up. I told him hell no as I announced the date of mid-term each class for several weeks before.
Even back in the 1980’s there were a fair number of students who showed up only on exam day.
One of the earlier posters suggested that the professors should take attendance and factor that into the grade.
It seems that would be a better way. What if a friend takes your smart phone into the classroom for you?
