We are students of a higher education. We are not primary students, nor are we high school students. We are adults who are capable of handling responsibility. We are adults who are capable of handling the repercussion of our decisions. We should and need to be treated as adults.
We have made the decision to carry on with our education. We have made decisions that has led us to where we currently stand. And we will continue to make decisions that we feel are for the better. These decisions are ours to make, to fail, and to succeed with. We have made decisions in the past, and will continue to make decisions in the future. The choices we have made are ours, and the consequences are ours to carry. We are responsible for what we do and should be held accountable.
As adults we should be able dictate what classes would help us in succeeding, and what classes would interfere with progression. We should be able to make a logical and appropriate choice towards our success. We should not be penalized for the choices we made on behalf of our education, we should not be penalized when we do not attend classes that are not helping us succeed. The choice should be ours. The outcome should reflect our decision. We made a decision, why can't we make the choice?

The administration spent years treating us like toddlers but this surge of support proves they cannot ignore us anymore. We are taking back control of our education because the current policy is a blatant insult to our intelligence.

Mandatory classes bring the focus of 'being there to learn' to 'being there because we have to'. Classes became over-crowded. We are not out of the danger-zone yet as this is our second year. We can still get a negative study advice. With that said, we already have enough responsibility to deal with ourselves. We don't need someone/something else breathing in our necks, telling us we have to attend every class because else the examboard will take away our first chance in obtaining credits.
i think mandatory classes should be only the project classes and still there should be exceptions which are agreed by the group members in advance, the coach should be there to help, but if we dont need a help we dont need to be there...for 3 hours, all the other classes become bothering when they are mandatory
totally agree with this petition. if the classes are exciting end educational I feel that compulsory attendance is a useless tool.
We pay tuition fees at A U-NI-VER-SI-TY! I think that means we can surely take up the responsibility of following classes or not. Beaides it is not my problem if other don't want to go, and miss their exams. But I don't wanna go to easy photoshop classes either!
We are not at kindergarden, we are young adults who are able to make our own decisions
If you want more students to come to school, improve the courses instead of forcing them to come.
I completely agree with this!

Make the lectures useful, consider which teacher actually have something to offer to their students and students will come to class without being forced
