Attendance Optional Classes

Covid changed the layout of colleges a lot, many courses are attendance optional because they provide a video of the lecture online. This may sound nice, but who is watching the video in their free time? This sounds nice when it’s now and then when you’re sick or overslept but if you choose not to go at all it will hurt you. More and more class engagement and attendance drops, and the students who attend regularly tend to perform much better. Mental illnesses continually increase from the frequency of social isolation. You should go to class, so you feel more awake and a part of the college community. Although, if you tend to work better when you’re teaching yourself, go for it!
