When missing just one class discussion could mean failing, it’s no wonder students at UO feel stressed about attendance policies. With each professor setting their own rules, it’s a confusing mix—some don’t care if you show up, others are strict to the point of anxiety. The university’s “reason-neutral” policy, meant to be fair, often misses the mark when life throws curveballs like illness or emergencies. Shouldn’t learning be about more than just showing up for points? Many students say they’d attend anyway, but flexibility and understanding matter. How do you think attendance should be handled to actually support learning? #Education #UOregon #StudentLife
