Frequently Asked Questions for Current College Now Students
In college you are expected to participate because you are personally committed, not because you are required to be present by law. College professors do not follow-up on missing assignments or homework. You will not be asked why you were absent if you do not appear for class. However, you may find that many professors drop you a full letter grade if you are frequently late, absent or return late from class breaks. You may also lose points if you arrive for class unprepared (having not read required texts) and are unable to participate in class discussions. If you fail exams, or are absent for them, there may not be an opportunity for a make up exam. In college classes, your point of view and your participation are crucial to the successful passing of the course.
