Absenteeism: a study on Bachelor in Business Administration (marketing) students at Universiti Teknologi MARA, Perak / Nadiah Abd Halim, Nooraini Roslan and Nor Aziela Musa

One of the most common areas where classroom practices of individual faculty members differ is the attendance policy. Some faculty requires attendance. Some faculty count attendance positively in grade determination while others count the lack of attendance against the student's grade. Even most faculty who don't require attendance by their students encourages attendance in a variety of ways. Naturally most faculties probably believes that attendance is important in student success but most of us can provide only subjective evidence to support our belief.
