Students who regularly miss class present special challenges for teachers; often these students don't have a good reason for missing class. How do you help them? There isn't time to go back over lots of material, otherwise you will run out of time and slow the progress of the other students. I suggest to students that they ask classmates for notes or input. I also highlight major points. I expect students to read class assignments and be prepared for quizzes and exams. What do other teachers do?
