The importance of being a part of the whole class

My friends always tell me that my school is too easy. I think this school definitely has a unique composition of staff and students that does allow for more flexibility then other colleges but the commitment to the class is more prevalent in this school then any other. There are some classes in which a student can miss a fair share of lectures but still get by but then there are the courses in which students have to be ready to really buckle down and consider themselves a part of it. It doesn't mean their lives have to be the course but the student's presence and input only strengthens the course and it always seems like the bullseye in securing a good grade.
