In the end no-one was learning anything because of all the craming, and the sign in sheet became a real point of contention for both faculty and students. The new system was put inplace to try and cut down on those problems.

I believe that the semester's exam schedule should be made and distributed the first week of classes, quizes can be at the teacher's discresion. Even if we have 1 day between exams to review, that would be better than 2 exams a day. The other school tried to do 2 exams a day and gave us a 4 hour buffer between each exam but it wasn't effective.
If people sign the attendence for other people that should be grounds for expulsion. I believe AUC expelled a student last semster for that reason. We have a predetermined number of days we can be absent, it is up to the student to use them wisely.
