I. Read the following on attendance and grades and answer the questions.
Attendance and Grades
A study conducted at Manatee Community College revealed that students who attended class 95
to 100% of the time usually received an A in the class. Students who attended class 80 to 90%
of the time usually received a B or C in the class. Students who attended class less than 80% of
the time usually received a D or an F or eventually withdrew from the class. Based on this
information, attendance and grades are related. The more you attend class, the more likely it is
you will receive a higher grade. If you improve your attendance, your grades will probably
improve. Many factors affect your grade in a course. One factor that you have considerable
control over is attendance. You can increase your opportunities for learning by attending class
more often.
