I'm a transfer from outside CUNY, so I'm genuinely curious...Participation/attendance is between 8%-12% of the grade in all of my classes, but less than half of the students ever show up. When an exam comes the rooms are always packed and once there weren't even enough seats for everyone. Are most ppl on full financial aide so they don't care about losing money/failing and have to retake? Or do many ppl really not need to come to class to learn?
