Why students skip class? This question will lead to factors around students' attitudes about lecture presence and things they consider in deciding whether to attend. Firstly, attitudes about Attending Class. Most students try to attend classes, and usually do, however they miss them from time to time as the result of academic or extracurricular. Next, decision Making. The most important factor in deciding whether to attend lectures is followed by conflicting deadlines for other classes and the professor ability to connect the students. beside that, factors to Decide. Whether the students look forward to to learn from the lecture. If students do not expect to learn from lectures, they are fewer likely to attend. Recommendations. Pop quizzes, taking attendance, and giving away test questions in class encouraged students to attend. Other methods may make the students want to attend. A professor surely should lecture well and clearly, use related examples, entertain students, schedule classes in the afternoon, use a lot of demos, and keep in line the lectures with the tests. This advice is of only limited usefulness, since it does not suggest how these things can be done, however. The most important thing maybe is creating a communicative process between lecturer and students. So, both students and professor will be motivated eagerly and genuinely by the process
