re: Most amount of times you skipped a class in college yet still passed the class

Only went first day and test days for ECON 2010. Was like 3 points from an A

Had a professor that would give out the syllabus with test days. Then he'd say "I have the right to change the testing dates as I see fit". None of the tests except for the final exam were on the day listed on the syllabus. He always had them the class before the scheduled date. He fricked a lot of students over who tried to pull the "I'm going to just study the material and show up on the test day" move. The look of horror on the people's faces when they came in and realized they had missed the test was always great

I skipped all classes besides first day and tests for organic chem, stats, and physics at LSU and got As in them.

If classes didn't have attendance I would have skipped them all. Most people put all the notes on ppts online. Almost no reason to go to class

Also skipped all of art 1001, sociology 2000, and micro and got As.

I was taking some dumb computer class. My teacher was from India and I could literally not understand a single word he was saying. Horrible mumbling accent. The next day I show up to the same computer class but a different professor. Told him my problem. He said even though his class was full I could attend and no need to switch officially. Grabbed a chair sat off to the side. Went the day before each test for the review and on test days. Made an A. Professor emailed me saying he told the Indian teacher to give me an A.

Several easy electives I only showed up for first class and test days.

Like nutrition, astronomy 101, etc.

But I did go to ole miss

The first biology class. I guess it was 1001. I was a 5th year senior in mechanical engineering and had to take the class for my degree audit, but had never taken it as a freshman. Went to the first class fall semester and the teacher treated it like some welcome to college, meet your neighbor type thing. I literally never went back. Tests were taken in the computer lab. I made a B. It was memorization of definitions.

I have skipped 90% of several other classes, but I did not pass those . I don't know why I thought I could skip thermodynamics and still pass.

I remember I was taking Strengths (ce 3400) and the professor, a young guy about 30 years old, would frequently have classes in which the formulas were derived. They were very boring, unimportant, and involved lots of note taking.

One day we had a quiz in the beginning of class. I turned it in and sat down. After everyone turns theirs in the professor says something like, "We're gonna be deriving a lot of equations today. This is going to be a really long and intensive class today."

I wanted none of it, and what was a pretty brazen move, sitting dead center in class, I just got up, zipped up my booksack, walked to the front of the room and headed to the right for the door. He just stopped talking and stared at me, then said, "Well, thanks for coming! You sure you don't want to stick around today? It's going to be a great class" in a way that showed he was pretty insulted. Some people started laughing, and I just silently opened the door and got out. Thankfully it wasn't stuck or anything, that would've wrecked me.

Back before attendance was so big a deal at LSU, I took a Western Civ class with a friend of mine That coincided with work. He would go to class and take the notes and give them to me.

I only showed up for exams, all of them short answer and essay.

I got the highest grade in the class by reading the book and his terrible notes. But the longest answer I ever gave was maybe six sentences long.

Nobody liked me in the class because I would frick up the curve.


course, this only happened in that one class. all the others I did this for I'd get a B or C if I was lucky.

I missed every single class for Stahl's econ 2035 class. Didn't even go to the first one. Only went for tests and got a B in the class.

Lol, this is the class I was talking about.

CIS freshman year

went the first day and went back for about 7 tests, the mid-term and final.

pretty much my entire 1st year of undergrad... honors courses in high school prepared me pretty well, so i'd get with a classmate to see what was covered, and show up for test...

partied my arse off for the first year, and got duped into thinking it would always work that way.... my 2nd year, and organic chemistry proved to me the value of going to class, with the quickness....
