I see your point nifty, but doing the projects and reports should be enough to prove you’ve taken part and qualified from the course. I wasn’t required to prove attendence in DCU or in Abertay.
Some modules didn’t require my attendence, like a lot of 1st year maths in DCU due to it being mainly leaving cert maths which i’d done before and maths in Abertay which was maths i’d done in DCU. Another case was 4th year AI in DCU in which the lecturer rambled on about nothing to do with the course for most of the time and then left at the end and the exam had the vaguest link to what he actually spoke about.
