It's just in general that here, if you don't come to class, you don't get a lot of material. There's required reading, and there's material covered in class. Then there're the discussion sessions which are vital in forming a critical analysis of the stuff you're supposed to be learning (otherwise it's just swallowing everything the prof tells you, which isn't the point in most Arts classes).
If you can cut class AND learn, that's one thing. But most students don't. You're an exception, Nolan, not a rule, and the general rule is, if you're cutting class and treating university like a bird course, you're not learning anything.
Sure, you may not learn just by attending classes, but attending class with the slight chance you might actually get something is a sight better than cutting class NOT learning.
That, and if more people were like you Nolan we'd probably wouldn't really need universities :P
