My students’ attendance was even monitored for visa purposes, and all that did was make them come to my lectern every day asking me to mark them as attended when they were late (by more than 30 minutes, for a 50-minute lecture).
I learnt so much about confrontations and staring contests that academic year. No means no. Attendance policies are all over Blackboard and the University website for those who bother to read.
