One of our Engineering departments is considering introducing an attendance register to monitor undergraduate students' attendance at lectures. The department is interested to know whether any other institutions (and particularly, Engineering departments) have instigated anything similar and have any positive or negative feedback to share. Is the register taken by the lecturer or by circulating it amongst the students? Are there any suggested alternatives to a paper register? ---------------------- Sheila Jones Assistant Registrar, Quality Assurance Unit/Committee Secretariat University of Liverpool [log in to unmask] Tel 0151 794 2170 Quality Assurance Unit Web Pages at URL http://www.liv.ac.uk/qau/qau.htm %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
