I have been following the discussion and am surprised at the problems of
attendance. I teach at a college that draws from a local market of
mostly modest income students, many of whom have jobs to help pay their
way.
In my 8am intro classes I have good attendance, apparently because those
who register for this are more willing to do the work. I have more
problems with attendance and other issues increasingly as we go from 8am
class to 9:10, to 10:20 and 11:30! the hour seems to be an indicator of
who works harder and who parties more (later classes = more party boys
and girls).
