After Week 1, use the information from the sign-in form to make an attendance sheet. This is also the time to make paper badges (see Class Badges). 

A good attendance sheet will have 

  • Class member names
  • Class member emails 
  • What their student status is (MIT student, non-MIT student, other) 
  • If they've paid 
  • A column for each walkthru & each class (& often last tip to see who stays the whole time; this is especially relevant in semesters with PE, b/c PE students are allowed to leave early and therefore some other people do too...)
  • A column to keep track of how much they've missed
  • If there's PE, you may also want a column to track that

You should print this each week, fill it out on paper, and then enter the data into the computer. It is also useful to have notes on how many squares you had (consider writing down square numbers for walkthrus, class, last class, and club - you can ask a club member how many squares the middle club tip had).
