Low attendance rate has been a big problem among colleges and universities. To avoid this problem and finish their teaching tasks, different teachers come up with various methods.There are two common methods as following.

在高校中低出勤率一直是一个大问题。为了避免这个问题，完成教学任务，不同的教师想出了不同的方法。以下是两种常见的方法。

Themost common-used method is to call over. Teachers call over each class or afteran interval¹ of one or two classes and write down the names of the absentstudents. And usually, if someone’s name is written down more than three times,they will lose their qualification in taking part in the final exam of thisclass, which means they need to repeat the class next time. Another methodusually used in smaller classes is to ask questions at random². Teachers willask some students to answer the questions to check if they attend the class.

最常用的方法是点名。每节课老师都点名或者在一节课和两节课之间的间隔中点名，然后写下缺席的学生的名字。通常，如果有人的名字被登记超过三次，他们就不能参加这门课程的期末考试，这就意味着他们需要重修这门课。另一个在小班中常用的方法是随机提问问题。老师会叫一些学生来回答问题来检查他们是否有来上课。

However,even though these methods force students to attend the classes and increase theattendance rate to some extent, it doesn't solve the problem throughout. In myopinion, the most important point is that teacher should improve their teachingskills, break through traditional teaching model and try to make their classesmore active and interesting so that students will attend the classes of their ownaccord. Meantime, students should try to improve their self-discipline abilityand learn to appreciate the advantages of their teachers.

然而，尽管这些方法可以强迫学生去上课而且出勤率在某种程度上也有所增长，但这并不能彻底地解决问题。我觉得最重要的一点是教师要提高他们的教学技能，突破传统的教学模式，来使他们的课变得更生动有趣，这样学生们才会主动去上课。同时，学生应该努力提高自己的自律能力并学会欣赏他们老师的优点。
