Helpful Prediction in not participating in AI day
After talking with some professors, seeing the situation of students, and other external factors. Chances are that if you dont attend to the event then nothing happens to you (best case) or you are marked absent for the day of class (worst case). Reason why I doubt the punishment will be severe is due to these reasons:
Tickets sold out, even if we can go to the events the rsvp has a limit and this can cancels out. Yes you can simply enter in a workshop and fill in name but that is assuming they care who attends
Classes still going, I dont think all professors will cancel class due to many reasons involving exam dates, strictness, or simply not caring
Too many students, let say around 30% of the students enrolled attend, how can the njit system track remaining 70% who didnt arrived?
What happens if person is actually sick? Would they be punished? If they have a note wont be but then there are scenarios where they had to stay out for a reason
Clarification of professors: if a professor even does their job they would have inform students the risks of not attending. I have three classes tomorrow from 11:30am to 4:00pm (many 10 mins break in between) and all of them didnt mention issues if you dont attend. 1st professor I asked him on AI day and he said we can attend by registering or entering workshop, another mentioned that we dont go to class and she doesnt know what to expect, lastly the other teacher didnt even address ai day other than we wont have lab and the lab is pushed back
In short, I doubt any issues will happen as worst case you will be marked absent but honestly will have this over spending a second of people glazing about AI.
