If your professor outlined in their syllabus that attendance was a part of the grading scale and you chose to not go to class, I’m not sure what to tell you

That's a long drive from New Hampshire to Auburn every day for classes.

Weird rant, Auburn is top 5 in the SEC, top 100 in the country and number 1 in the state. Like most schools the cost of higher ed has risen faster than inflation. Lots of factors, including buildings, faculty salaries, bloated staff size, inability to terminate employees, government bureaucracy including purchasing, compliance cost (title IX, Cleary, etc) and entitled students who cannot make an 8:00 class. (This is a real thing).
It is all about the degree you get. Get something that requires a license or prepares you for a job. accounting, Med school, nursing, pharmacy, PT, Law, pilot school, etc. engineering and computer science are great majors.
Danny, College is not for everyone, the world needs ditch diggers too.

A masters from there (perhaps not yours though…Appalachian history?) is still likely worlds better than the online diploma mill masters programs that have ZERO rigor. The quality of new employee that “brick-and-mortar” schools provide is so much better than the online schools.

Just because you talk a lot (and I mean a LOT) doesn’t mean you should major in English.

You are going to a STEM school to get a Masters in Liberal Arts and are complaining about value? K.
If you are going to college now you need to be doing it with a focus on ROI and that means most people shouldn't be in college. I have 2 sons. One is at A&M Galveston Majoring in Marine Transportation and will get a License as a Deck Officer as a part of his Degree that is a ticket to 6 figures out of school. My other son is in HS and is going to Biomedical Engineering and is an extremely strong student. He will be able to get into some pretty elite colleges most likely but we are focused on ROI and the best school with either the lowest cost or most scholarship money. He either wants to design Med Devices or go to Med School.
Both of those cost some money but they will both be set up for careers that are in high demand and pay well for the forseeable future. If they weren't doing that I'd tell them to go learn a trade and get paid. My elder son is also a welder and my younger son worked over the Summer at an auto repair shop. Kids today need to be prepared because life isn't going to be easy, better have some skills.

Issues like this occur at every school.
I have a close friend who paid almost $400k for his daughter to get a degree from a well respected private school. Math teachers were Asian doctorate students with difficult accents, History professors teaching about modern music and their ramblings.
College degrees are a scam for a lot of degrees.

Has anyone asked what this masters is in? Why is "Appalachian History" even on the curriculum?
Though to an extent I don't disagree. I think you can find both valuable and worthless degrees at most schools these days.

Why don’t you go to the bastion of higher education NHSU and buy your masters. You seem to think you are more intelligent than, well everybody.

Graduated in 1980 "SON".
Anyone asking if planes are still on the Haley Center concourse is disconnected as hell!!!
Every school is growing yet you want Auburn to remain at 18,000 students like 1990!

Auburn has some work to do. This education is not cheap, and the University needs to understand that "You" work "for" the Students, and not the other way around.
Don't send your kids to Auburn.
This is a weird melt. Sorry you got teachers you didn't like. That never happened to me during college years, never, I mean N E V E R.
You could always drop out and go to Troy Tech instead.
