Abstract

This work reports the effect of a revised attendance policy on attendance and course outcomes for two populations of students:  introductory general chemistry students and upper-level chemistry majors.  Initially, the attendance policy highlighted students’ responsibility for the material covered in class. This was changed to a policy with a specified reduction in the course average for excessive absences.  Attendance and final exam scores were tabulated for each group. Implementation of the new policy increased attendance and final exam scores for introductory students, but it had no effect on attendance and final exam scores for upper-level majors. This result suggests that introductory students would benefit from course policies with specific expectations for attendance.

考勤很重要!通过结构化的出勤政策支持一年级学生的成功
这项工作报告了修订后的出勤政策对两类学生的出勤率和课程成绩的影响:普通化学入门学生和高级化学专业学生。最初,出勤政策强调了学生对课堂内容的责任。这项政策被修改为规定减少过度缺勤的课程平均数。每组的出勤率和期末考试成绩都制成表格。新政策的实施提高了入门生的出勤率和期末考试成绩,但对高水平专业的出勤率及期末考试成绩没有影响。这一结果表明,入门学生将受益于对出勤率有特定期望的课程政策。
