This is the 9th week of the semester at my university, and many of my students were absent this week. This is a portion of the email I sent them to remind them about the importance of class attendance and effort in their studies:
1. Learning is cumulative - you can't just pop in and out of a class. One class builds on another. When you are absent you miss the continuity of the subject and cannot easily follow the material. Also, if miss you too much you not feel a part of the class the next time you are there.
2. Success is habitual - you must do good work constantly, not just sometimes or occasionally. You cannot expect to earn good grades on quizzes and exams if you are not doing good work all along with your studies.
**The successful student and the successful person in life are able to maintain their efforts over time! The semester is only 14 weeks long - stay strong to the end!
