Hello there, you seem to have this wrong my friend. Making lectures compulsory is not the way of encouraging people to attend. The fact that some get upper grades and others get thirds is only a matter of how you understand the stuff you are given in class. Personally this is not a matter of who attends lectures or not, but it has something to do with your own understanding and your study habits. You cannot blame me for getting a first all because l don't attend lectures. Remember this is university my friend and we don't need to be pushed to do things we don't enjoy. One thing you should understand is that we are all different in our understanding of certain things. All of us can't get firsts; there should be others to get the seconds and thirds. We are all different. Making lectures compulsory is not going to change anything; rather you will be even more disappointed because the ones who are getting firsts will continue doing so. The compulsory lectures you talk about do not make any difference because even people, who are doing law, can tell you that it doesn't change anything, if you are a person who is intelligent you will get your firsts and there are also those who get thirds. It is not because of their intelligence or compulsory lectures but the way one understands the work we are given. One important thing to remember is that we cannot be forced to do what we don't want to. If we are coerced to learn then what’s the use of “academic freedom” that people are always talking about? Bear that in mind my friend.
