Let me tell you about one of my morning classes, IOE 265: Probability and Statistics.
I would estimate that there are about ~130 students enrolled in this class. There's seating in this lecture hall for 150, and it was mostly full last Wednesday.
I have to estimate because... well, let me first make a confession. Occasionally, homework is due in class. Always on a Wednesday, but not every Wednesday. After the first couple of weeks of class, I just stopped showing up on days when homework wasn't due. What with the fact that it was a morning class, 9 AM to 10:30 AM, and the fact that I've never really enjoyed prob/stat, it just didn't seem worth it to drag myself to class without some tangible benefit to my grade at stake.
Last Monday, we had an exam, so naturally, we didn't have any homework due today. I decided, out of curiousity, to come to class anyway... see what it was like on non-homework days.
There are 26 students here, myself included. Less than a quarter of the class bothered to show up.
The teacher seems oblivious. I suspect she's just used to it by now.
I actually feel a little embarrassed.
I'll try to show up more often.
