Just an old soul with a young heart
The thing is…our class doesn’t have a seat plan, and we didn’t give our prof any index cards. So our prof can’t match names and faces. Even if our prof has a class list (w/o our pictures/faces), how can our prof check attendance without calling role?

I had one professor who checked attendance via quizzes/seatworks. Otherwise, ewan ko.
Perhaps your class beadle checks attendance automatically. It’s part of their job decsription after all.

Let’s see if I’m bored enough to answer your question… or if it’s good enough to MAKE me answer it
