Increase Attendence Rate in College

Low attendance rate has been a big problem among colleges and universities. To avoid this problem and finish their teaching tasks, different teachers come up with various methods.There are two common methods as following.

在高校中低出勤率一直是一個大問題。為了避免這個問題，完成教學任務，不同的教師想出了不同的方法。以下是兩種常見的方法。

Themost common-used method is to call over. Teachers call over each class or afteran interval of one or two classes and write down the names of the absentstudents. And usually, if someone’s name is written down more than three times,they will lose their qualification in taking part in the final exam of thisclass, which means they need to repeat the class next time. Another methodusually used in smaller classes is to ask questions at random. Teachers willask some students to answer the questions to check if they attend the class.

最常用的方法是點名。每節課老師都點名或者在一節課和兩節課之間的間隔中點名，然后寫下缺席的學生的名字。通常，如果有人的名字被登記超過三次，他們就不能參加這門課程的期末考試，這就意味著他們需要重修這門課。另一個在小班中常用的方法是隨機提問問題。老師會叫一些學生來回答問題來檢查他們是否有來上課。

However,even though these methods force students to attend the classes and increase theattendance rate to some extent, it doesn't solve the problem throughout. In myopinion, the most important point is that teacher should improve their teachingskills, break through traditional teaching model and try to make their classesmore active and interesting so that students will attend the classes of their ownaccord. Meantime, students should try to improve their self-discipline abilityand learn to appreciate the advantages of their teachers.

然而，盡管這些方法可以強迫學生去上課而且出勤率在某種程度上也有所增長，但這并不能徹底地解決問題。我覺得最重要的一點是教師要提高他們的教學技能，突破傳統的教學模式，來使他們的課變得更生動有趣，這樣學生們才會主動去上課。同時，學生應該努力提高自己的自律能力并學會欣賞他們老師的優點。
