Art History class. One month. I didn't go for the last month of class because she posted the power point slides online. I came in for the Final and made a 100.

That's funny, from the way you talk about it you think you would've made an A 



I'm not going to tell lies just because I'm on the internet . It was a class I should have gotten an A in, but I was lazy. Getting a B with very little to no effort was more than acceptable to me in college. I had several classes that I had A averages on tests and 0's in homework, so I walked out with a B. I was a moron.

I ended up with Bs in both. Having a graduate asst. in my sorority who smuggled the exams for us pledges to study before the tests helped a lot.


I will never understand why people choose to risk getting kicked out of school for dumb shite like this.

I basically skipped the whole semester in a freshman english class. I showed up to the final with a fake cast on my leg and crutches, told the teacher I was in a bad car accident.


She let me write the in class paper and gave me a B for the class

I had 11% attendance in "Introduction to International business"

Really kicked out in that I used to turn up whenever assessments were handed out, passed scoring around 55%

In my second ear I had a similar record for one module in first semester, had a meeting about it, but I scored an 80 on the first test and weirdly the classes I turned up to most I did worse in....however the second semester of that module was a bitch and I did v. Bad so it spurred me into action and 3rd year I missed basically none

I took speech class online as a loophole. Pretty much every speech has to be videoed in front of an audience or you get 5 pints ( ) deducted. C it is...
As far as actual cases I never missed. The above mentioned was the one slacking I did.

I took an animal biology science elective that met one day a week. I probably went to class once a month.

Of course, that was mostly because the teacher only actually held class once a month, but that's another story.

Kept up with total skips one semester in college. Missed 37 classes in a semester where I carried a 17 hour course load (5 three hour classes and 2 one hour electives). Ended up with above a 3.5 for that semester.

All of the schools I went to had attendance policies. Apparently the professors are too insecure to have students miss classes.

Lol I loved MGT 3200 with sauley. I actually never skipped his class just cause I liked him.

And at getting a B. Surprisingly enough people actually did bad in that class. Was such a joke.

I went to my Geology class 3 times- first day of class, midterm, and finals. Got an A. All assignments were online and only two in-class assessments all semester.

took some history course that you weren't require to show up to class or take all the exams. all you HAD to take was the midterm and final, but you were given a composite score of the two.

Made a C on the midterm, Aced the final. got a 90 A in the class somehow. never went to a single class besides those two exams.

I was never the one to habitually skip class so mine would be maybe 1 or 2 times a class. I'm sure someone will say they went to the 1st time, skipped the rest and then went to the final and passed.


I took Calc 3 (3 dimensional calc.) with a foreign prof. He walked in the the first day, and said he didn't care how often we came to class or what we made on the "test". what we make on the final is our grade, and 1 exam can help us, (up the average) but not hurt.

I didn't return until the final, made a B in the class.

My last year at LSU (cant remember if it was my fall or spring semester) I had an Investment or Real Estate Finance Class at night. Well we get to the first class and the teacher goes over all the general material for the year in about 30 minutes, assigns a few lessons, and then cuts us loose. Show up the next week for class and his Grad Assistant is there and she goes over a few things and tells us the professor was sick and couldnt make it. From that point on until the end of the semester I received an email the morning of whatever day I had class telling me it was cancelled. Never went to another class, never took a test, never turned in homework nothing. Come to find out the teacher was diagnosed with a terminal illness. For the final, myself along with everyone else in the class received an email telling them to show up at CEBA at a certain time on a certain day. Well when I show up the Grad Student has the student roll out, tells me to sign by my name, gives me an "A" for the class, and then tells me to leave. Never found out what happened to the teach though.

I've been out of college for 6 years and I still have nightmares of skipping too much class.

I have a dream of skipping every class of Intermediate Accounting II probably once a week.

Had a lecture and she didn't care if we were there so I only came on test days. I would go over the study guides posted online before the tests. Made a B.
