Welp SL is officially dead now.

Someone broke my nose 2 years ago, since it looks a little twisted. Would you get it done?

[Vintage00]

Claim it as an old hockey injury and thank me later for the tail it'll bring you.

[LKJ]

I don't think they had hockey in Van Gogh's time.

[Vintage00]

Def had facial injuries though...

k so in my college one lecturer decides she must keep a roll all the time- naturally thats the one I haven`t being attending.... in Ireland attendance isn`t usually compulsory... anyways got a phone call from one of the student supervisors or whatever saying that if i dont attend a "satisfactory" amount of lectures by the end of the year then i mite be refused entry into the exams- now i know thats the policy, but have any uk students ever heard of this happening? I`ve never heard of that occuring myself :P

[Vintage00]

I dunno about the UK, but that's completely normal in the US. Yes, there are many classes where either 1) an attendance policy isn't enforced or 2) the professor doesn't care, but there are many classes (especially once you get into your major) where attendance is pretty strongly necessary. I have one class that takes 2 points off your final average for every absence >2 in the semester.

[fishmeout]

lol 2 pts? i had one class where your letter grade was dropped by 1 for every class you missed after 1.

[Flyingbanana]

That wasn't normal for me in the UK. I can think of a register being taken in only one class of 12 people. In that class the register was only so if a student complained at the end of the year the lecturer could show that they didn't turn up to any lectures.

Since most materials were online the 8:15 lectures after a student night out weren't very populated. I always went to those lectures though as the lecturer usually gave out exam question hints to those who bothered to make it.

[dkgojackets]

most of our classes were the same way, attendance was used as a tiebreaker if you were borderline. some of my classes had a % for "participation" which is really stupid since it encourages the dumb people to talk

[Fear Itself]

almost all of my classes have this retarded remote that you have to bring to class, for 5 minutes the prof will ask questions and you have to answer on your remote, it's like ask the audience on the game show who wants to be a millionaire. anyways its really gay because it's usually worth 5% of the grade. anybody else got this crap at their school?

Standard for big university lecture classes.

yeah, they're called i-clickers here and some of my classes have used them

[fishmeout]

best route with iclickers is to give them to your friend who always goes to class obv. i've seen people with 5+ iclickers before, i think they were fratstars that rotated going to class
