“Don’t take absences so seriously. If a student doesn’t come to class, it will show! They will fail themselves if too many missed.” I have never really had a problem with attendance policies at school, as most of my classes have had similar policies and I usually love to go to class. This semester, however [...]
“Don’t take absences so seriously. If a student doesn’t come to class, it will show! They will fail themselves if too many missed.” The current situation is that there is a standard college policy on absences, but that many professors choose to make their own policies.

Ones that I strongly agree with are hiring more professors so more courses can be offered, more course selection, more options for smaller majors, and opening student records for schedule changing [...]
I agree with the honor code statment in PEP academics. I don’t think the honor code should be stressed so much. Teacher make such a big deal out of it. The worst part about the honor code is the witnessing any unauthorized assistance on this work. This shouldn’t be on the honor code. There is [...]
The first PEP suggestion I agree with is: “Fewer teacher opinions and more facts.” Of course, I haven’t had this problem in all of my classes or even most of them, but I have experienced it in enough classes to be irksome. I’ve noticed that teachers can frequently let their personal opinions leak out. In [...]
