    I tell my students that if they just show up to class and pay attention, they'll almost certainly pass with a good grade. I give them a quiz in every class to incentivize attendance. Almost all of them show up for almost every class, and almost all of them pass.https://twitter.com/Research_Tim/status/968855799693967360 …

        As much as I hated it at the time in one of my best classes ever the professor started with a pre lesson quiz that ensured we had done the readings

        “...almost all of them pass.” Is that not the norm for college classes?

        I graduated college because I attended class. Truth.

        I have a Prof friend who has instituted pushups in front of the class for tardiness. He says promptness and overall attendance has significantly increased. Teaching engineering has its privileges!

        This is very worrying. Too much weight is put on attendance credits. More vocational experience should be utilised to demonstrate the application of said learnt information. This could be evaluated by businesses by offering paid employment to the best achieved students.

        90% of life is just showing up. What does knowledge or intelligence matter of you're not present? Kudos to the prof. ; it's creating good habits.
