Based from future.com it’s no secret. Almost everyone has done it at sometime — students do miss classes.
The frequency and the effect missing classes has on students is exactly what a journalism and mass communication class wanted to find out when they conducted a telephone survey of 338 Iowa State students.
The anonymous respondents were randomly selected from the student directory and telephoned March 4-10. There were 13 multiple choice questions, and the survey has a margin of error of 5.3 percent.
