The lesson I learned is that students who cannot manage to get
themselves to class on the first day of school
have issues… irresponsible,
flaky and completely lacking in discipline.
You do NOT want to be one of these students!
Of course, this does not apply to someone who has a very legitimate
reason to miss (fever of 104 degrees comes to
mind here) and calls the
teacher before the first class to keep the spot
reserved.
The first class meeting is when your teacher sets the tone for the
course
and lets you know what is expected. If you
miss this, you’ll feel out of step all
semester.
Read the course syllabus!
Every teacher I’ve met – and I’ve met a LOT – has a different set of
rules
for how they deal with absences, grading,
homework, missed tests, etc. The
course syllabus (or whatever the teacher hands
out the first week) usually
gives you all these rules.
