im a senior working on my college applications right now, and i have so many questions about how college actually works.
when students talk about how they are constantly skipping class or have attended barely attended class, how is it that you can still graduate or get credit for this class or even pass the class without hearing the lectures? i dont understand that concept because speaking from a high school perspective attending class is most of work you have to do, its where we recieve our assignments and where we learn everything and it would be near impossible to pass without attending class
what do lecture hours mean, when it says u need 15 lecture hours to pass a semester does that quite literally mean you need to be in person in class for 15 hours in total by the end of the semester?
how many lectures are there for each class every week? with a semester being a few months long 15 total hours of class time sounds short unless each class only meets bi weekly or something
if a student wanted to could they attend every single lecture? or is that something that virtually no one does

Professors have a lot more leeway in determining how the grades for their classes will be allocated. Some make attendance or participation a significant part of your grade, some offer more leeway, and some say “it doesn’t matter as long as you turn in your assignments and pass the exams.”
And that number is lecture-hours per week, which is generally a 5 class course load (3 lecture-hours per class). Classes tend to meet a few times a week, like every Monday-Wednesday-Friday for an hour, or every Tuesday and Thursday for 90 minutes.
