<p>No, you have to go to class at Penn (for the most part). Almost every class I have had, part of the grade is attendance. Of course, I am only speaking of the classes I have taken and my own experiences…others may have a different experience. There are weeder classes, but most of the challenge is just sticking with it. The ones who get weeded out drop the class is usually based on fear and they don’t realize that if they had just stayed in and gave it their best effort, they would have been ok.</p>
