Have you ever skipped a class, /sci/?

no, even if the professor says that a class isn't mandatory because it's a review day or something I still feel too nervous to actually not go.

Yeah. I skipped the last day of class in Mathematical Logic when we were supposed to finish up the proof of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. Felt pretty bad about it considering the teacher was very good.

Also skipped Anthropology pretty much all the time, because fuck that.

why

I attended roughly 20% of all lectures in my undergrad.

Not because I was trying to be edgy, but because I'm really terrible at auditory learning so lectures are an utter waste of time for me.

I spent the time studying the textbook instead. It's just how my mind works, it refuses to absorb being relayed to me by another person, I will think about pretty much anything else during lectures. Meanwhile with textbooks I have god-tier focus and can get through the material much faster.

Also classes dull the mind meme.

To cement the knowledge so that you don't immediately forget it after the finals.

Lectures are an opportunity to plug any gaps you have in your understanding.

You'll notice that shitty lecturers just reread the textbook while good lecturers encourage asking more questions and also providing more external knowledge/experience on a subject.

To me lectures were pointless until my junior year, at that point they were way more personal and I could engage with our own faculty which not only help crystallized the work by talking about it all the time, but also allowed me to network for grad-school opportunities.

Attending Calc I lectures is pretty pointless though.

I skipped probably 50% of all lectures I've had for the first two years.

I'm a junior now, so class sizes are much smaller, the other students are more mature, lecturers don't feel compelled to go slow and simplify concepts to accommodate younger students, and lectures are more personal and seem less like a speech that's been rehearsed and repeated, so i go to class pretty consistently now.

Yea, it's not that big of a deal if you ask the professor what are you conevering next class.
