First Year Arts English Tutorial Attendance

Boognish

How strict are they on this? Been missing a few this year and don't want to fail over something stupid

I'm sorry but, you don't want to fail over some stupid; yet you're asking this with three weeks of the year left?

So how does this work:
If they are strict and you fail, that is a stupid fail.
If they are not strict and you still manage fail, you are just plain stupid.
Or if they are not strict and you pass, you've conned the system?

The mind boggles.

Attendance at tutorials in Arts is usually poor anyway although when I was there, it was a case that it was mainly used in things like borderline cases, so if you've a poor attendance record, they'll be fairly harsh on moving you from a 2.2 to a 2.1 or a fail to a pass. I know someone who was given 39.9 by a lecturer just to make a point.

Main problem with missing out on tutorials is that you're fecking yourself over for exams. Tutorials are the basis for most exam questions and you can get a solid 2.1 just using the stuff they tell you in tutorials. Although this might not be the case in English.

It also matters if you get marks for attendance or not. If you do there's no way to make it back up. I'd email the lecturer if you want to but really it's too late now without a proven reason. It's usually 10% though so you shouldn't fail

Just to make the point that he's an arsehole?
