Compulsory Class Attendance
What does compulsory class attendance rule achieve?
Nothing, as per a recent research done in US. The study does not find any relationship between the performance of the students in an Economics course (at a graduate level) and class attendance.
I however believe the study is flawed in many counts. Firstly, performance in the examination should not be used as the output in the system. My experience shows that students who attend the classes regularly are sincere students and get jobs during the final placement much ahead of students who are not as sincere.
There is another advantage of attending the classes regularly. Not all lectures will be equally entertaining. In any case faculties are under no obligation to entertain the students during the class. Students who attend all classes regularly get used to this boring stuff and it increases their tolerance level and improves their personality. Once they get a job, where in the meetings they have to listen to all the stupid things their boss has to say, they will be able to cope with the situation much better.
Not so with students who do not attend the clases regularly.

May be they(class attending students) will work well in jobs.
But all those who did not attend the classes were probably doing something else for themselves. So do you think they could be more enterprising and not stuck with the rules in the environment....bottom line...they are probably more likely to be ENTREPRENEURS or INTRAPRENEURS.
Its an idea.
