I agree here--my philosophy is that students are adults and they can make
decisions about what is or isn't important to them. I know life happens.
Things come up, or some days we don't feel like going in. I'd rather have
students who chose to be in class rather than those who are being forced to
be there.
Of course, that being said, I think that class attendance is very important
and I build things in, like not giving out my notes and doing in-class
assignments that cannot be made up if class is missed, to make attending
class more important to students than not attending.
