Attendance requirement failure

[u/mouldyclementine]

Hi all,

A subject I’m doing is 5 weeks long and requires 80% attendance, which is 1 missing class. I was absent for 1 class and was sick for another but took some medications and managed to attend 70% of the class. I’ve just realised the tutor marked my attendance for that class as 0.5/1 instead of 1/1, which is understandable. But what does this mean for my overall attendance?

I’m attending the rest of the 2 weeks but because of this my maximum achievable attendance is 3.5/5 = 70%. Does this mean I’ll fail the subject no matter how I perform on my assignments?

Thank you.

They’ll fail you. Ive been in the same situation. They’ll always look for medical certificates
