>>1369330070% of my undergrad classes had some sort of this bullshit:
>mandatory attendance, miss roll call too many times and you're bumped down a letter grade>participation points, lose points if you don't raise your hand enough>multiple one-question "pop quizzes" every session at random intervals, so you can't just show up and ditch after it's done>homework assignments locked behind codes that the teacher would reveal every classTwo of my greatest character flaws are chronic tardiness and a difficulty getting out of bed in the morning (and in general).
I'm more of a "crack open the textbook and teach yourself at home" kinda guy, and I never had any problems at all with exams, but all these little tricks they used to force you to come to class were the death of me (and more importantly my GPA).
In my humble opinion, the "gotta make sure the chillun' go to class!" hand-holding shit should not have any place in determining the grades for a student pursuing a computer engineering degree.
I mean c'mon, at least 90% of the whole major was made up of introvert nerds, have some sympathy for fuck's sake!
