The first week or so of classes, the lecture hall is full and everyone claims a seat. (Some professors even recommend that you keep the seat you sit in the first day, helping him/her to remember who's who and take an ariel view of attendees. And, we're creatures of habit.) You, a student, also become accustomed to where people sit and can easily notice when someone is absent.
You will spot "The Absentee" by the third or fourth class because he/she has already missed two of them.
When he/she is there, they make sure to over-volunteer, making sure the Professor knows his/her name.1 Usually, "The Absentee" is right on point, too.
However, the absence of "The Absentee" is probably not a good idea when the Professor passes around a sign in sheet to keep a roster, and his secretary has made everyone name-tags.2
This is a personal shout-out to you, ZB! B & L better see you in class tonight! heh heh heh
1. Possibly competing with "The Questionable Questionnaire."
2. We said we were back in the 8th grade with backpacks, lockers, and yes, even name-tags!
