Many Students Do Not Go To Classes


By Jae Yu Ko

Many universities or colleges have a lot of students and classes. For each subject, there are a number of professors and students. Some professors can check the attendance and others do not. So, a number of students do not go to classes which professors do not check the attendance. It is meaningless to waste time not to go to lectures. There is a solution to help students attend classes.

The solution for students who do not usually go to lecture is to make attendance machines for students. To reduce the severity of absence, these machines can help people to listen to lecture and learn something meaningful rather than just not going to classes. For example, in Georgia Tech and some colleges, chemistry and computer science engineering professors have made ideas about creating attendance machines called PRS and finally, these machines have been used effectively. So, all students have to buy it and press enter button for the sign of attendance in each class. Even though a person attends class and does not press ‘enter’ button on PRS, he is expected to be absent. Thus, it is an excellent idea to prevent students from not going classes and help them to listen to the lecture.

I think that it is a good solution to make PRS machines to help students attend classes. It is one of the main issues that many students do not go to classes because they know that professors do not check attendance. If students do not go to classes to learn, they do not have to come to colleges and they can just study by themselves. Therefore, going to classes help education being higher.
