Abstract
Identifying what the student really wants from their course provides a method of controlling the learning process. We contend that the prime student driver is the achievement of their qualification by gaining marks and not learning itself. We examine the effect of tying attendance directly to the achievement of marks. It is found that attendance improves from around 60% to 98.5%. Further methods are discussed which might have a direct affect on retention and achievement based on the identification of student wants.
