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.
