Idea – To have a student’s class attendance system that can be access by lecturer, school administration.
Problem statement :
1.For international students, they required to send verification of attendance for previous semester classes for visa renewal purposes. The attendance for all courses should be more than 80%. Since it is by semester and compulsory, I think it would be better if UTM has a system that can count the percentage of attendance automatically.
2. Students who have absent many classes had a tendency to fail the course. If we can track the percentage of attendance in before week 8, student able to withdraw the course. This also help to avoid student missing in action by end of semester. Currently maybe only course lecturer knows about students attendance, so I would like suggest for school management and administration to also have the access. Students also need to be aware about their attendance.
3. In course registration, student may do some changes (insert/delete) course. Sometimes error might be happened like wrong course code or section. If students was found attend wrong course or section, correction can be made earlier.
Method –
An alert will be send as a warning for certain percentage. Student will receive warning letter for their absence.
Benefit –
1. Help to reduce number of student fail in courses.
2. Easier to keep the student status ( active, defer, probation status)
3. Accurate and faster issue of attendance letter, warning letter.
4. Avoid error in course registration.
