The Original Way (before FIPPA)
Signature Sheets – before The Freedom of Information & Protection & Privacy Act (FIPPA), we had one class list for every 100 students that was taken around the exam room for students to sign when student cards (TCards) were verified.
After FIPPA, we created a “quick fix” by attaching a signature sheet to the front of each examination paper

Risks of Taking Attendance

Students could see student # and name of others while signing sheet
Student might sign for someone else (accidently or intentionally)
Data organization and entry prone to errors and very time consuming
Petitions dependent on attendance could be delayed
