<p>Most colleges don’t take attendance at lectures though do at labs and discussion sections. I’ve had professors that either were bad at explaining things or couldn’t speak English in an intelligible fashion where I opted to either skip lectures and use the time to just read the book or attend a different professor’s lecture of the same class.</p>
<p>Why not do the classes online. Pick a respectable college that has a brick and mortar university and take their classes online. However most employers will not respect an online degree even from an accredited university however, if it has a brick and mortar facility they won’t know the difference unless they go through your transcripts.</p>
<p>However, for science classes you cannot really do many online unless there is no lab associated with them.</p>
