Week 13 of the semester.
My class starts at 8:30am on Mon and Wed.
This is my classroom at 8:30am on Mon with zero students 😒
Then there's me all suited up and ready to teach academic writing.
On Mon I asked the students a few questions for coming late:
Here are the findings:
Mode of conveyance
β€’ Some students live on-campus (10 min walk from dorm to class)
β€’ Some come to the campus in chauffeur-driven cars
β€’ Some ride their motorbikes
β€’ Some are driven by their friends/parents
β€’ Some drive their own cars
Students' reason for coming late in their own words:
β€’ Getting up late in the morning
β€’ Laziness
β€’ Traffic
Since none of their reasons were unavoidable, I spent some time impressing upon them the need to be on time.
Class today at 8:30am with only 3 students 😒
When I told them they'd lose their attendance/participation grades because of coming late, a student said I should have told them about it earlier.
And I said it's written in the syllabus πŸ˜‚
