Learning styles factor in here. I have a short attention span, so can't follow along for 45min - 1.5 hrs lectures = waste of time. I showed up to class 1x per week for admin purposes only (i.e. to make sure I didn't accidentally miss an exam).
Learning styles (such as preferences for text, class, video, face-to-face, etc) don't really affect how you learn. They are just preferences which affect how we think we learn.
Nonsense. For extreme example, if I'm illiterate I *cannot* learn by reading. Obviously sitting in lecture will be better than reading a book -- b/c fits my learning style. Similarly, if I'm incapable of listening for 1 hr straight, other methods are more effective
I think you two might be about to start a big misunderstanding. Here's why "learning styles" raises alarm bells: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2017/mar/12/no-evidence-to-back-idea-of-learning-styles …
Any misunderstanding must be due to difference in meaning of term "learning styles". I agree that common excuses, e.g., `the teacher doesn't fit my learning style', are nonsense. But hard to deny that some students might prefer 1 way of learning over another.
Yes, it's a specific expression.
All I'm trying to point out is that there is *zero* causation b/w attendance and grades. It's all association.
