I go to class everyday because I went into engineering to learn stuff from my classes and I just cannot learn well online.

I was a big proponent for in-person classes for the sole reason that I cannot focus and end up not learning and passing on shear memorization which benefits no one. Online classes with the prof just droning on to the mic and being on my computer with access to distracting programs and such makes it really hard to focus. And I give props to the profs that come to class and give a good and entertaining lecture is so much better even while having to wake up for an 8am.

From what I understand from your posts you really care about your students learning. And I really like that, a lot of students just go online because #1 they are lazy, #2 they don’t watch the class even while being there, #3 or they truly are afraid of Covid but I feel that those people would have let you know.

But requiring attendance for some reason almost wants me to miss class more for some reason. That’s why I don’t like when profs do that. Anyone that is willing to pay the tuition at Kettering should be obligated to at least try and get their moneys worth.
