Taking registers for students who have pre-arranged permission not to attend class
Students can be marked ‘P’ when they are in fact taking recorded seminars, providing that permission has been given by departments to do so on the basis of strong and acceptable reasons, and providing that channels of communication are kept open with these students at all times or at least at regular intervals to check in with them and obtain further confirmation that they are indeed watching the recorded seminars. If departments are not satisfied with the regular level of engagement and quality of formative work submitted by students who have been given permission to attend recorded seminars, then they should communicate that to the students with a warning that they will be marked as ‘A’ if engagement doesn’t improve or if they fail to respond altogether.
