Is it legal for a part-time College professor at a Georgia College to fail a student based entirely on their attendance?
Yep.Is it legal for a part-time College professor at a Georgia College to fail a student based entirely on their attendance?
Yep.
It is also legal for a full-time professor to do so.
Heck it is even legal for a professor who is wearing green shoes to fail you for not showing up. (thinking of you patti).
Did you know that it is even legal at U.C Riverside, in California too. by a professor wearing an ugly hat even!It's legal in a Massachusetts university.
And if it's legal in a Massachusetts university, you can be darned sure that it's legal in a Georgia college.
Almost all of my classes had min attendance standards.I don't know if he still does it in the class he currently teaches, but at the school where my DH formerly taught he told them right up front on the first day of class that if they missed more than x classes (I don't remember what x was, but I think it was three) over the course of the semester, their grade would be lowered by one-half a letter grade for every absence. And he stuck to it. He still uses that procedure for late papers.
And I know that several colleges/universities in Alabama have the same policy.It's legal in a Massachusetts university.
