When You DON'T Do Your Reading

[RickLax.com]

If you haven’t done your reading for a small class (15 people or less) in which the prof calls on every student every day (and grades on participation), is it best to not show up?

That's my typical approach as long as you keep the absences to a minimum.
I also skip class when my city is on fire.

Those are really the only two good reasons.  Fire and lack of preparation.

What about surgery? I had rotator cuff repair yesterday and I didn't get a chance to do the reading for tonight's Torts class. Should I skip the class and enjoy the groovy pain meds instead or should I go unprepared and save the pain meds for after my last final in December?

Our professors have told us just to tell them that you aren't prepared that day (for whatever reason), and ask them not to call on you ... as long as you only do that once or twice, it probably won't be a problem.  I think they understand that most people can't be perfect all the time.

Yes, just let your professors know, and go to class.

That's what I wound up doing... never enjoyed 'express assumption of risk' and comparative negligence so much before.

Go to class and find out who you can sue.
