Most big universities with hundreds of students per class can get away with skipping because professors do not have the time to take attendance at every session. Too much valuable learning time would be wasted. A commercial illustrates how impersonal classrooms can be. A class is taking an exam and the professor tells the students, "stop". While the class turns in their exam, one individual continues to write. The professor then says, "congratulations, you have just earned yourself an 'F' for not stopping".

Ironically, an MFA in film will probably help you more outside of Hollywood than inside. Several people we know, who have MFAs in film and work in film and television production do not include their degrees on their resumes. They found that when that was included on their resumes, they were rarely hired. It was only when they removed the MFA from their resumes that they started getting work."This may sound unbelievable, but it is true. Those Bachelor and Master Degrees that cost so much money are often a turn off to potential employers and collaborators. Most people ... [more..]
