One of my professors offered the incentive that if any individual in his class had an A average after the last quiz, that they would be exempt from the final exam. I worked my butt off throughout the semester on tough material and was able to keep an A average so the final is optional for me. My question is this- should I continue to go to class? It doesn't matter too much in that there are only 4 lectures remaining, but it is a pretty small class and since the professor knows me- he will notice my absence. I would like to ask him for a letter of recommendation at the end of the semester. So out of respect, should I keep attending class bearing in mind that he is still teaching new material? Or is getting the rest of the semester off my reward for keeping up for the first 13 of 15 weeks? Do you think it would offend most professors?
