As an ancient custom, attendance in class is so common in universities in China that many teachers and even students themselves simply think it is a good habit. But is it wise to do so? This really helps to increase the number of students in class. However, is there any proven correlation between attendance and performance in a course? More and more teachers and students began to question the value of requiring attendance.

Why are you required to attend class? The reason seems obvious and easy to understand. On the one hand, in the long run, it is considered one of the teachers' responsibilities to ensure that all the students in the class attend classes. A strong sense of responsibility acts on teachers. If they treat several students in a classroom that should be full of many students, they will feel humiliated and even guilty. At the same time, teachers must find ways to evaluate students, and attendance is a perfect measurable factor, which is not only a paper score, but also a good choice for them.

But does it make sense? Did the teachers achieve their goals? At first glance, people may say "yes" because it is easy to find that there are always many students in the courses that require attendance. However, things are not as simple as they seem. "I'm tired of this course, but I have to take it. So I left after the teacher mentioned my name. " A college student said this, if you have experienced college life, you will find that he is not the only one who said this. In some courses, attendance is a burden for students. They have come up with several ways to skip classes, and at the same time they can keep a good record in the teacher's handbook. One way is to leave silently after the roll call, and there are other ways, such as asking others to answer when his or her name is called, and so on. Even just talking about classmates who never skip class. It is difficult for us to assume that they really "attended" the course, because there is no available data showing any proven correlation between attendance and course performance. A person may be sitting in the classroom, but who knows if he or she has just been sitting there daydreaming? To our surprise, there are still students who get high marks without taking many classes. So now we seem to have reached a corner: how to explain all these phenomena? Is it really ridiculous to ask for attendance in class, or have we missed something important that gives us an answer?

As long as we consider the teacher's goal again, we can get more from the problem. The point of all these things is that we should find a better way to arouse students' learning enthusiasm and efficiency, and attendance requirement is just one of them. A person's performance in class is measured by his or her efforts and efficiency, not the time he spends in class. A student may have a high attendance rate, but his learning efficiency is very low. Besides, if we study university education carefully, we will understand why university education is unpopular. Being forced to study and feeling distrusted are the most important factors. College students tend to think that they are adults and should be responsible for what they can and want to do. Attendance makes them feel that they are regarded as children, which may undermine their enthusiasm for learning and even lead them to cheat their teachers in different ways. Another equally important factor is the class, or teachers themselves. Why can't students keep up with the course? There is no denying that many classes are simply boring. The teacher just repeats the contents of the textbook, and the students feel that they can't learn anything from it. Third, but not least, students nowadays really lack a strong desire to learn and a sense of responsibility for themselves. Their lives are full of too many things, such as computers, televisions and many other things. These make them impetuous and unable to sit down and study quietly.

Edison once said, "Realizing the problem is half the solution". Now that we have come to the conclusion that the simple attendance requirement is incorrect and unnecessary, how should teachers and students find the other half of the solution and end the game of "hide and seek"?

First of all, maintaining students' attention and interest is still a big challenge for classroom lecturers. One way for professors to meet the challenge is to tell some interesting anecdotes in class to relieve the pressure. Another way is to integrate vision into classroom activities. Another way is to intersperse discussions in class. Through all these methods, students' enthusiasm for learning can be mobilized, and they will have the desire to learn instead of being forced to sit in the classroom and think about how to escape it.

Students themselves should take action to solve these problems. The essence of the problem is how to improve their learning quality. Students themselves, as the beneficiaries of all efforts, must respond positively to teachers and society. As Newton once said, "Exploring the unknown is the happiest thing in my life." Students must cultivate their interest and desire to learn in class. They should try their best to keep up with the course and gain knowledge from it, instead of making excuses to skip class.

After all, considering all these factors, we can draw the conclusion that requiring students to attend classes is not an effective way to ensure the quality and efficiency of students' learning, but it represents the unremitting efforts made by educators to improve the education level and give students a better learning opportunity. Recognizing this problem is the first step, and other effective measures are being taken. We firmly believe that in the near future, the situation will be better, and both students and teachers will gain high efficiency and interest from the classroom.

Try to believe it! We look forward, because the future of education will be better! It has the right to ask the whole class to attend.

The need for first-class attendance, like an ancient custom, is common in colleges and universities in China, but it is a good practice for many teachers and even students to bear it themselves. But, wisely, did it do it? This helps to increase the number of students attending classes. But didn't you prove the relationship between attendance and grades? Questioning the value of attendance is being questioned by more and more teachers and students

Why do you need first-class attendance? The reason seems obvious and easy to understand. On the one hand, in the long run, it has always been regarded as the responsibility of teachers to ensure that all students in the class participate in it. A strong sense of responsibility is acting as a teacher, which makes them feel humiliated. Even if they are guilty, only a few students in the classroom should be filled with more people. It also plays a role, that is, some teachers must find ways to evaluate students' enrollment, which is a perfect measure, but they have a good choice besides simple document marking.

But does it make sense? Did the teachers achieve their goals? At first glance, people may say "yes" because it is easy to find that many students must have first-class attendance in the course. But not just their looks, but. "I'm tired of the stadium, but I have to participate. Therefore, after I left, my name was mentioned by the teacher. " College students say so. If you have experienced college life, you will find that he is not alone. In some courses, students and their teachers have worked out several ways to avoid attending classes, and at the same time, they still keep good records. One way is to leave silently, take part in the inspection, and there are other ways. For example, when someone is asked to reply, his or her name is waiting or even just saying that there are no students who have skipped class. It is also difficult for us to undertake their real "simultaneous" process, because there is no available data to show any courses that prove the attendance and performance of the relationship. People are not allowed to sit in the classroom, but who knows if he or she just sits there and daydreams? To our surprise, some students got high marks and missed many courses. Therefore, we now seem to have reached a corner: how to explain these phenomena? But the first-class attendance requirement is actually a ridiculous thing, or what important things have we missed to provide us with the answer?

Just considering the teacher's goal, we can get more questions. For all things, we should find better ways to arouse students' enthusiasm and efficiency, and the requirement of research and attendance is one of the just methods. Of course, a person's performance is a measure of his or her efforts and efficiency, not the time he spends in class. A student may have a high attendance rate, but his learning efficiency is very low. More importantly, if we study university education carefully, we will understand why university education is unpopular. Feeling forced to study, distrust is the most important factor. College students often think of themselves as adults and are responsible for what they can do and what they want to do. Taking the exam makes them feel that they treat their children equally, which may undermine their enthusiasm for research and even lead them to cheat their teachers in different ways. Another factor is that it is equally important to take on classes or their teachers. Why can't students keep up with the course? There is no denying that many classes are too boring. Teachers can only repeat their textbooks, and students think they can get any benefit from them. Third, but not least, students now lack a strong desire to learn and the spirit of being responsible for themselves. Their lives are full of too many things, such as computers, televisions and many other things. These make them impetuous and unable to sit down and study quietly.

"If you understand this problem, you will solve half of it," Edison once mentioned. Now, we have come to the conclusion that it is incorrect and unnecessary to just ask for attendance. What should teachers and students do to find the solution of the other half and the last game of "hiding and watching"?

First of all, maintaining students' attention and interest is still a huge challenge for classroom lecturers. One of the teaching methods to meet the current challenges is to provide good comedy relief for classroom anecdotes. Another method is to apply vision to classroom activities. Another method is point class discussion. All these methods, through students' enthusiasm, may lead them to have a promising research, instead of forcing them to sit in the classroom and think about how to get rid of it.

Students themselves should take action to solve this problem. The essence of the problem is how to improve their learning quality and students themselves, because the struggle of all those who benefit from it must give teachers and society a positive response. As Newton once said, "exploring the unknown is the happiest thing in my life." Students must develop their interests and desires and take part in courses. They should try their best to acquire knowledge according to the course. They don't make excuses to skip class.

After all, considering all these factors, we can safely draw the conclusion that first-class attendance is not an effective way to ensure the quality and efficiency of students' learning, but it represents the endless efforts of educators to improve standard education and make students learn better. Understanding this problem is the first step, and other effective measures are currently being taken. We firmly believe that in the near future, this situation will get better and students and teachers will get efficient and interesting courses.

Try to think about it! We look far, because there will be a brighter educational future!
