Conclusion

Introduction

The debate on whether attendance should be mandated in college is rather misconstrued. College life is different from high school or other lower level institutions since students are cognizant of what they are doing. As such, forcing the students to attend classes demeans them and makes them feel more like teenagers that adults. Furthermore, forcing them to attend does not necessarily mean they will be attentive in class. Therefore, implementing the mandatory attendance policy is not an appropriate option.

Supporting Arguments

The choice of whether to attend or not to attend class lies on the students alone and not the college administration. The students are matured enough to differentiate what is good and what is not. In that regard, they can choose to attend class or not, depending on their will. Making a choice for adults might not yield the anticipated results. It is also worth noting that some courses do not require much attention as compared to others. In that regard, it does not mandate the students to attend the classes constantly. All courses cannot be afforded similar attention. Another supporting element is the fact that students may miss class due to other pressing matters. Also, they may opt to use the time for a particular class to study for another harder course. Therefore, the reason behind absenteeism might be more than just willingness.

Opposing Arguments

Class attendance is the most efficient way of enhancing academic performance. Students and teachers can interact with ease and help one another in the case of any challenging issues. Another opposing claim implies that making class attendance mandatory will ensure all the students get marks. These can be considered as free marks gained by just attending class. Apart from that, the class option is better than online mechanisms. In the learning institutions, instruction and assessment are key to academic excellence. Therefore, attendance improves instruction comprehension and evaluation, which are fundamental tenets of academic performance.

Conclusion

Even though attendance has significant benefits, it should not be made mandatory. Students should be left to decide whether to attend or not attend classes since they are matured enough to make this choice. Other arguments imply that attendance will improve academic performance as students will be able to interact with their tutors and comprehend instructions. However, it is also worth noting that when some aspects are forced into the students, they tend not to comply. In other words, they may attend the classes but remain inattentive. Academic performance can only be improved if the students are willing to attend the classes. In general, a willing student will gain more than someone who is forced to attend class. It is, therefore, paramount that the attendance policy should not be made mandatory.
