Many people think that university students are adults. So, they argue that universities do not need to check students' attendance. However, in my opinion, universities should check students' attendance. First, students do not study, if schools do not check their attendance. Second, it is unfair to measure students' grade rely on only test scores.
First of all, if attendance is not contained their grade, students do not study. It is true university students are adults, but they do not have ability to control themselves. Many students have studied hard until they entered university. So, they think that they have right to play, after entering university. Let me take my personal example. When I was a freshman, professors did not check students' attendance. So, I always stayed up night to play with my friends or upper classmates. At that time, playing with friends was more important to me rather than studying. I thought I had right to play, because I studied hard when I attended high school. After staying up night, I couldn't take my classes to sleep. My friends were same as me. As a result, I got low grades. What is worse, I cannot understand some classes now, because I didn't study prerequisites when I was a freshman. Therefore, universities should check students' attendance
Second, it is unfair to access students rely on only their test scores. Test scores are important, of course. However, I find that attendance is important to students too. Those who are diligent always take classes. Taking classes hard, diligent students may take exams with bad conditions. On the other hand, some students do not take classes, and study alone. If one cram for exams hard for a week, he can get good scores. If professors do not check students' attendance, students who are in prior cases cannot get good scores. It is unfair, in my thought, because diligence is important too. So, professors should check students' attendance to give fair grades and contain students' diligence to students' grades.
All things considered, university students have to go to schools, to increase participation of students but also to measure students' diligence.
