Registered 20 years agoConsidering some of the lecturers I've had in the past are fucking awful and worse than reading a dry article, mandatory attendance is a stupid idea in my view. I attained most courses on my undergrad, but there were a few where the profs were so fucking dull I just couldn't stand to be there. The literature always covers what's in lectures and then some. -

First thing I would do is track down this other tutor, even if it means waiting outside his class to grab him when he comes out.
I really think you need to go there rather than try and sort this on the phone. I’d literally spend a day just going around the various people that might be able to help you – union, the bursar, the head of department etc etc. You need to be pro-active.
I’d also approach it from a very matter-of-fact angle – “There’s been an administrative error which I need correcting” kind of thing, as opposed to ”I’ve failed my degree but it’s not fair”.
Yeah. Thanks for the advice. I'm going to spend the whole day tomorrow trying to get this mess sorted out. I haven't been sitting at home and phoning/emailing them btw. I have been in five or six times trying to sort it out. -

Registered 15 years agoSurreal. I went to maybe 1 in 10 of my lectures and as long as I was completing my coursework I never had any major issues. -
My college had *attendance* quota, hence had a register (that they quite often fraudulently filled in for people that were not attending), that had bearing on how much they got given the next FY. -
I think the whole mandatory attendance thing depends on the degree. My BA had a practical side to it which was assessed in tutorials. -
heh, just got an email from an advisor I've been talking to. He told me that I missed over 40% of the lectures, which is absolutely impossible. I've asked him for specific dates and to see the register in person.
Got them by the balls now. -

Seriously, all the best on your battle match tomorrow. Don't take no for an answer, you're a victim and victims don't deserve this kind of stuff. Heck, if this happened in my hometown it'd literally be front page of the local paper, and that's not an exageration. If they don't have the registers to proove you were there, they also don't have the registers to proove you weren't, so ask on what basis they kept your attendance.
You've already got them by the balls anyway, rip them off and throw them! -

The next obivous question then is who in the school gave you this incorrect information. Surely you can see I was going to ask this? If you've not got that sort of common sense then no wonder I've been booted for no reason and this'll take twice as long to fix.
Yours,

I might not add that last bit. -

Then the lazy sod should get onto the school to provide it to him, then.
Not good enough, I'd be going apeshit at this point if it was my degree on the line. -

An ex of mine was told she couldn't take one of her exams because the university decided they didn't feel she was up for taking it. (Translation: They didn't want a smear on their records). A friendly tutor backed her up and told the panel they were fucking idiots and they allowed her to take the exam. She got an A and passed her course with a 2:1.

Pass quotas.
I've never quite understood the need for attendance checks at uni. If I spend a huge amount of money to register, but don't attend classes, take notes, do course work etc, I'll probably fail and not get that degree. As long as they get their money why should they care?
Is that true? It wasn’t something I was aware of at the time. My BA every single person on the course passed with at least a 2:2.
Universities: Shit. -

Then tell him he's making an accusation against you of something he's admitting to having no proof whatsoever of, and official complaint will be made against him and records of all correspondence will be sent to all relevant university heads. -

Just politely explain this it is not acceptable that you should be kicked out over an administrative error on their part. I’m sure he’ll understand and agree, I very much doubt there’s a conspiracy they’re all in on, it’s just that someone has fucked up.
Also as a general rule, whenever anyone puts up a wall like he has, ask politely to discuss it with his boss. -

Registered 18 years agoDon't they usually hand out warnings before booting you? In that case, you should think it'd be as easy as asking them to procure copies of those warnings, or let you back in.

If he's a cock what difference does that make? I'm sure he's more worried about his job security and possible discipline action than about the welfare of one of his hundreds of students. -

Got another reply. He's told me to go and speak to my main tutor (the tutor who withdrawn me). Ugh, I hate that guy. -

He's just talking to some advisor though, not his tutor. -

I'd say you need to go and speak to the course administrator not the tutors.
They'll have all the relevant records, the tutors will have had to give the some evidence of non-attendance.
