    Default Do you consistently skip class?

    So I take 4 classes right now (my 12 week lab is over, thank god)...

    Monday/Wednesday
    A history class, where the test is based solely on lectures, and I attend consistently to get said notes. (I have an A)
    British Literature, where most of the grade is based on papers, but I attend consistently anyways because I really enjoy it and I'm at campus anyways. (Where I'm teetering on the edge of an A/B, but I can re-write the one paper that is bringing me down)

    Tuesday/Thursday
    Geomorphology, a class where we have open book tests, so I skip constantly. But part of our grade is based on attendance, so that worries me. (I have a solid B on tests, but attendance is 15% of the grade, and I'm probably there half the time)
    German, where everything we need to do is outline on the syllabus, so if I skipped geo, I skip German and just do the work at home. (I have an 89, I bombed a test the day after Obama was elected because I was so hung over, definitely can get it up to an A)

    Am I a bad girl? Should I feel as lousy about skipping class as I do? Does everyone skip class in college a lot? An ex of mine (who was very successful and went to Ivy League schools for undergrad and grad) called college "correspondence school" because he practically never went. I'm just kind of sputtering out at the end of the semester.

    i have the same problem.... but its more of a i can't wake up in time for my classes.

    I feel bad, but i have chopped it up to first semester slip ups... i don't think its a good idea to skip or miss class... it feels almost like money wasted...especially when they take attendance

    If anything, i would skip the classes that didn't take attendance and i trully felt i wouldn't learn anything from

    But since i'm starting to get my life more organized and have started working again... I plan on making next semester really count.

    I won't be missing as many classes if any... its just a bad habit

    I'm definitely feeling burnout. But nah, I never miss class, I get too behind if I do. I never, ever take a class before 12, no matter what, because then I know I'd skip every time. If skipping class prevents you from doing as well, then yeah, it's a problem. If you're one of those amazingly talented people who can pass without class, then no worries. Our job lets us skip all the time, if you make a habit doing that with school too, it's just really not a good routine to get into when it's time for that 'real world' job thing.

    when i was in school, i never skipped- except for when i had a surgery. i did take afternoon and evening classes, since unfortunately, it seems that my mind is most alert at that time (when everyone else was tired) and when i'd get home, i'd be ready to tackle projects until 5am. this has been even more strongly present since my injury. and i do sleep more since my injury. my body wears out more easily too.

    i do know that if i took classes, it would not be in the morning, since, i dance at night and screwing with my schedule would cause me to have trouble sleeping, thus i'd always be tired and never get anything done.

    I skipped class a lot when I first started college, which led to me having to drop a lot of them and now 4 yrs later, I'm not finished. I just went back this semester after 1.5yrs off and I was being good at the beginning of the semester, but over the last month, I've skipped 3 or 4 times. I learned my lesson though cuz I skipped lab last week, and lo and behold, we had a test this week which I totally bombed b/c I didn't know about it.

    It's that end of the semester itch. For next semester, can you take any classes online? I'm currently taking two (Stat and a Psych) online and it totally helps since I only have to go to campus for Bio and a gym class (Mon, Thurs and Friday).

    ^ I never skipped any classes until about two weeks ago, when I realized that I'd have to fuck up royally to not get all A's and B's. Then I relaxed. It'll probably be the same pattern next semester.

    In the past, I skipped all the time. In fact, I was so irresponsible that I just ended up dropping my classes and partying instead. This semester I've started over - dancing instead of busting my ass 40 hours a week at a min wage job and aiming for a 4.0. I hardly ever skip class, but when I do it's when I know I'm not missing anything crucial and it's in a class I already have a solid A in.

    I never thought skipping Gen Eds was a big deal...When you near the end of your academic program and you're taking upper 4000 level classes I would suggest going to every class.

    I got it amazingly easy this year- i have 3 courses with the same teacher (all graphic app classes) who is an uber-pushover ... i go most of the time, if anything i'm just a lil tardy (2-4 hour classes!)

    Honestly, I missed tons of classes all through college...

    Most of my classes were dance major classes which obviously you can't missed bc you know, your grade is dependant on actually dancing/coreographing in them...

    But my "real classes?" OMG ! I fucked off on attendance so bad. I've always been good at "book learning" so I would just make sure I was caught up in the sylabus (sp?? ha as I say I'm good at book learning) went when I could and stayed current at home in my lessons, made quizzes, papers ETC. But probably I went to about 3/4 to 1/2 of all my lectures. That said my university was BIG so they had no idea if I was there or not.

    I don't think its a problem as long as your grades are okay, to be honest....

    We're all adults here, and although I am not in support of skipping class, as long as it doesn't affect your grade why not?

    Same here. I'm pulling A's at the moment and even though I messed up that lab exam, I'll still get an A. In fact, I'm skipping class right now even though I have an exam in 3 days.

    But, um, I'm having cramps so.... it's ok...

    Default Re: Do you consistently skip class?

    I can't skip class ever, for the same reason I can't drink at all anymore. I don't know when to stop. If I blow off class to stay in bed and watch CSI reruns once, and nothing terrible happens, I'll think "well that wasn't so bad, I can do it again"...and again and again and again, until I'm skipping ALL my classes and just barely getting by and my grades are ruined.

    Even if there's no attendance requirement, or even if I know I can ace a certain class without ever setting foot in the classroom except for to take exams (*cough*Spanishclass*cough*)...I still can't do it. Because for me it's a slippery slope, and it gets easier and easier to rationalize skipping more and more classes. So it's easier to just impose a "no skipping class at all" rule on myself and stick to that.

    It also helps to promise myself a little treat at the end of the semester, as a reward for not skipping any classes.
